"While the slogan of the youth of six years ago was, "Be Yourself," and other declarations of personal freedom, boy and girl today is faced with the realities of living with the jazz age far in the background. Where it used to be the aim of a young man young woman to complete a college education, it is now their worry to find a place in the world when they have completed it." she said. "With boys and girls eager for something to do, there has not, for many years, been such an opportunity for the influence of a leader. It is up to the Christian workers to decide whether intelligent youthful energies are to be directed to the fields of Communism, Nationalism or Christianity," she declared. Miss Cook brought to the gathering the message given at the Dassell Conference held in Germany, last Summer, to which she was a delegate, which was given the assemblage of workers in Youth Welfare, from a'l parts of the world by Dr.

The dinner party will precede the private view of the exhibition of French antique silver, which Baron de Vaux has recently brought to America, which will have its first American showing in the galleries of the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts. Guests at the party will be Mrs.

Hollyday S. Meeds, president of the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts, Mrs. William K. duPont. Mr.

Harry G. Haskell, Mr. and Mrs. Robert 'H. Richards, Mrs.

d'Andelot Belin, of Wilkes -Barre, Mr. Eugene E. duPont, Mr. and Mrs. Charles A.

Higgins and Mr. and Mrs. Caleb S. Layton. The silver collection which will be on display at the galleries contains more than 100 pieces, the work of master silversmiths of the 17th and 18th centuries, of beautiful design and workmanship.

Its authenticity is guaranteed by no less an authority than M. Louis Carre, who has written the last and most detailed work on French hallmarks. To assure the members of the Fine Arts Society, viewing the exhibition, that antique silver is genuine, the Baron will bring with him, on Monday evening, two silver pitchers of fine workmanship which are known forgeries. He will explain how easy it is for one with a small knowledge of hallmarks to be deceived. In che of the demonstration pieces, it will be necessary to use a strong magnifying glass to notice some tiny marks under a crowned capital which proved the pitcher to be bogus.

M. Louis Carre says: "The examination of hallmarks on silver is a fascinating study in itself. We are more used to English hallmarks, the orderly array of little stamps or brands on the underside of a dish, or the back of a spoon, five marks in a row. There is the king's mark, showing that the silver is standard; the date letter; the lion passant, the king's head and the maker's mark. They do vary for different districts and makers, but in general this logical arrangement is true for English plate since 1544.

"The French hallmarks, called poincons, take more study to identify and understand. From the time of Louis XIV, there were: the mark of the silversmith, the mark of the Guild of Silversmiths, warranting the standard; the date letter; the mark of the Farmer General, an official appointed by the king to collect the silver tax, and the discharge mark, showing that the duty had been paid, At the time of the French Revolution this was changed, the duty on silver was abolished. Later on there was a tax on silver again. Another punch was added in 1838 by Louis Philippe's command. called the mark de recense, adopted as a precautionary device against counterfeiting.

"It required some study for an amateur to decide, for instance, on seeing a crowned capital whether it is the proving it was made in Paris in the 1780 period, or the mark of a goldsmith of Nantes named Etienne Pierret, or the symbol of the Dijon The poincons may be found edges Or sides of a Mintine dish, as well as on the under side. They are funny little marks- cocks, boars and dogs' heads, keys, doves, stars, suns, scallop shells, lovers' knots, spiders, crabs." The customs house expert who examined Baron deVaux's collection of silver when he brought it into this country, said that he had never seen such beautiful silver. It took seven hours to look through it.
