whole building has comfortable, home
like look, and the eye rests content on
the beautifully wooded and park-like
grounds surrounding it, In short, the
Empress's recent purchase is typo of

carriage drives, with corresponding
lodge entrances, lead to a handsome
portico paved with tilos you pass to the

tic taste of the designer and architect.
The drawing-room, 80 feet Dy ~ feet, is
a superb piece, and the outlook through
