WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1941 THIRTEEN -By WILHELMINa SYFRIT To the fit into the umns ofthen, oh, thought, is to Another many little stories that do not more strictly classified colyour newspaper and now and very rarely, to a vagrant dedicated this little space. Few spots present more human interest angles than may be found at a good auction sale. There is the slap-stick comedy of the auctioneer who pauses in his "What-'ll-ya' bid! What'll ya' to comment on the things that come into his "Looka' here, what we've got! A knit shawl." "An afghan!" corrects one of the women before him. "Oh, pardon he replies, "It looks like a shawl to me, but here's a lady who says it's something that sounds like an The buyers are collectors, dealers, second hand buyers.

Looking with concentrated attention at the auction crier are the wives of the doctor, lawyer, merchant, and (political) chief. The wives of the richman, the poorman-and many times the men themselves. A plump matron from the countryside primly but persistantly raises the bid on an old brown pitcher, by a determined nod of her head. Bravo! She wins! The pitcher is hers! Her face is alight! Her hands are up-reached eagerly. From her manner she might be a mother reaching for the first grasp of her first off -spring.

The out of town junk man is there to salvage the odds and ends and pile them beside him in a great heap. The woman in the mink coat is a bored spectator as she waits for the auctioneer to get around to the Queen Ann chest. But wait! Here is trouble! The auctioneer has unwittingly sold the heavy quilted counterpane to two women. At least both claim it There it is, treacherously stretched between the two women. The auctioneer rescues it and settles the argument with much lively quibbling.

He is one man who can really referee a feminine squabble. But now is the brief second for the earthy farm pair, who have been holding hands beneath coat sleeves despite woolen gloves of one-quarter an inch thickness. The poorly clad young husband speaks at last with more than his eyes. He bids and bids. He wins! They look with clinging eyes for a moment before he bundles the red, much mended, and rose bordered rug in his arms.

They start off, unmindful of the cloud of dust that envelopes them. It is the end of their auction day. And always, almost always, at the sale is that man or woman on the edge of the crowd about the block. who will bid. and bid, and bid, for something at a price against what seems to be even the best judgment.

And his or her's, is the silent, yet ringing voice of the past, urged by memory, toned by sentiment. The voice that rises and rises above all monetary value. In reality it is the voice of one of the family who remains, reaching out to recapture, to hold again, some remnant of a life that was dear to him, to her. But it is also the voice of love that breaks all monetary bondage. Engagements Announcement is made by Mr.
