A QUEENS EccENTRIelTlEs.
Unique Household Decorations of Car

Unique Household Decorations of Car
 men sylva.
 When it comes to unique fancies in household decorations, Elizabeth, queen of Roumania, poet and senti- mentalist, must be awarded the palm She was very much averse to electric ity for Illuminating purposes until quite recently, and her boudoir was lighted by crystal flowers, in the arts of which eleamed pale=co1ored lights. The palace is filled with panel pie lures and verses, all written by the queen, or painted by her gifted court ladies. The great dining hall is orna- mented with tall panels illustra gg the principal works of Carmen Sg4sa's novels, romances and poems. The rom is very somber, being furnished with black oak and eordoVan leather, and lighted only by stained glass winfows, brilliant in color and representing court talls, wedding baHqaets and other royal festivities, but neYefthe- less they prevent the sun from ne- trating the gloomy grandeur of the apartment. I his is why the queen, ho loves beauty and harmony, strictly for bids the wearing of black or dark dresses at her table. She prefers a uniform to conventional evening df ss. and does not shrink from fancy dress if t be gay and pretty. The que IS ladies in waiting are chosen from the prettiest and =eleyerest girls in Roumania, and several fine musicians and talented amateur actresses and artists are to be found among them.
