CECIL RHODES HOME.
His African House Is Dutch In All Its
Furnishings.

If you speak to Mr.. Rhodes about
his great achievements and the name
he has made in the world he will GER
tainly look bored and change the con-
yersation; II you praise his house.
however, you at once discover that you
have struck the right note, for there
is something almost womanly in the
pride which he takes in his home and
its belongings.
1t was Mr.. Rhodes who made 1t the
fashion in South Africa to use Dutch
furniture, and he bought up all
the good specimens which were to be
found in old boer houses. Every piece
Of furniture in his house is pure Dutch
and antique, and he is careful that
they are all in keeping with each other
as regards their size and the weight
as well as their design. Some OF the
old bits OF marqueterie he has secured
are almost priceless, but everything at
the same time is simple.
There are few knick-knacks about
the rooms, and flowers are generally
long-stemmed lilies or other large,
luxuriant blooms, arranged en- masse
in solid vases. The dining-room Is an
enormous apartment. 1t runs the
whole length of the house, looking on
to the piazza, and the table ls always
handsomely furnished with bits OF old
Dutch silver and beautiful flowers
All the important people who visit

Charles Bentinck and Lady Edward
Cecil still have the use OF his house,
although he has left.-London Mail.

namely confine the maintenance of a
