 ss According to Correspondent Curtis,
 the room in Stockholm palace where z the royal family dimes is quite plain
 apartment and would be considered shabby and out of date by people of \ luxurious and artistic taste in the Unit
 ca States. The boards in the floors { squeak, the decorations are old and
 rusty, and the whole room looks as if it
 might be improved at the expenditure
