In one way it is possible to read the

and Santa Catalina. Cal. as 10 which
belonged the honor Of furnishing the
last resting place for the bones Of Juan
Cabrillo, the Spanish adventurer who
discovered the island and harbor Of
Santa Catalina three hundred or SO
years ago.
A recent event, however, seems TO
throw the burden Of proof on Santa
Barbara. The matter has been kept
secret for some time, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, but the facts are that
q grave was found on the island of
Santa Catalina that was so evidently
that of some person of importance that
the disc0verer notified the owners Of
the island and the remains were taken

which his fame was founded. Mr. Kip
ling has the reputation of possessing
an unusually correct taste in matters
OF house decoration.
Joseph Jefferson, when he rebuilt
his beautiful home after the fire which
left it in ruins, did not neglect thing

legitimate. and the mosaic thing which
is shortly 10 siorn mis- smoking room

striking. Els great friend, Grover
Cleveland. has his house already tiled
to perfection. There is in the library

dage on eyes and pedestal complete.
Mr.. Cleveland. or rather MRS Cieve-
land, has ordered some extensive al
terations in the place, and New York
dealers report her as having ordered
numerous designs for the refitting of
the house.
Mrs. Paran Stevens. who is admitted
to have one OF the most beautiful
houses in the country, has had superb
series Of tiled designs introduced in
various OF its rooms. She avoids bright
colors in them, but the neutral tints are
unusually effective, most of the designs
being classic.

measure, are as Indicative of Biltmore
as tiles can be. The large design is in
eight pieces and the smaller ones in
four.
The rather personal tastes Of Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt are denoted by the por-
traits in tile which adorn his new
Fifth avenue palace in New York. The
filing is highly ell borate in the smoking
room, too, inlaid with cement ard strik-
ingly colored in yellow, orange, pale
pink and blue. The designs are partly
in mosaic. The historical portraits
and the quaint expressions of the faces
have attracted much attention. IT is
the intention of Mr.. Vanderbilt to in
troduce still another design into the
house as time goes on. He is a recog-
nized authority on interior decoration
and has determined to prepare his own
designs for tiles in the future.
George NJ. Pullman's house in Chicago
Is to be fitted up anew before very long.
The millionaire's family are always in
Producing new beauties into their
home, and the tiles are apt to change
with the rest. At present the palace is
the admiration of all who see it on ac-
count of the beauties in multi-colored
designs which adorn walls and mantels.
Mr.. Pullman has classical ideas chiefly,
as the accompanying illustration shows.
The passion for tiles has resulted in
the appearance of many new designs.
These are usually prepared at the in
stance of the rich men and women
who seem never content unless they
are building house. John Jacob Astor
IS no exception to this rule, and the
house he is fitting up for his mother
does credit to his taste in tiles at least.
The designs are all pastoral or bucolic
shepherds all and maidens fair. The
completed effect will be very striking.

up into the dog cart
John made a pretense of settling the
rugs around her feet. and whispered:
THANK goodness she will be busy
with her camera; hays had enough of
Miss Green's society for one day, and

The cart moved of, and Dorothy had
plenty to think of during her home
svard drive. She knew very well that
she had cared for Gilbert Hurst, and
that she had cared for him ever since
she met him on the river two years
ago; they had often met since, and now
had been for a week together under the
same roof. Surely those gray honest
eyes could not lie; yet why did he SO
often avoid her and why did he always
make way for John Beasley whenever
he tried to monopolize her society? Yet
surely he must have meant something
just now-or was he only amusing
himself, and did John really care more
for her than Gilbert did?
After dinner that evening she was
playing some dreamy German music
that seemed to have particularly
soothing effect On Lord Harley, who
was half buried and half asleep in a
big armchair before the fire, when
John came up, and leaned over her
