egtipds The Age of Veneer ENEER is used upon buildings, jewelry and people. It can be observed in hotel lobbies, legislative halls, schools and colleges and libraries, It is used extensively in large cities, and it is doubtful if Newport or the suburbs could subsist with- out it. Veneer comes in various thicknesses. Some achieve it, some are born with it, but in this country scarcely anybody has it thrust upon them, because it is valued so highly that no one wishes to part with it. Sometimes the question is asked as to what is the difference between veneer and the real thing. It is difficult to find the answer, because the real thing is so rare that there is no basis of comparison. Veneer flourishes in all climates. It is no respecter of persons. It is cultivated by college professors, authors, ministers and lawyers. It probably reaches its highest state of perfection, however, when exhibited by young girls who have just been graduated from some finishing-school.
