hearts.
Despite It's rather forbdding exterior,
Skibo, as Will be suspected, Is as mag
nlfeently equipped inside as though
built within the last decade. The IL
brary naturally is the owners favorlte
lounging spot, but the money spent
upon II has gone into the volumes on
its shelves rather than upon ordinary
decorations, for Mr.. Carnegie. despite
his enormous wealth, cannot bear over
elaboration His constant admonition
TO architects and decorators Is, More
simple; not so elaborate" In the por-
ton of the castle devoted to the swim
ming pool Mr., Carnegie also spends
some time every morning. The pool is q
large one, and the water may be raised
to any temperature by means OF d sys-
TEN of electrical heating, the current
for which Is supplied by power house
a few hundred feet away.
Mr.. Carnegie, while he does not 20 in
for high priced pictures simply because
they are high priced, Is a good judge OF
art and has at Skibo some notable ex-
amples OF the old masters as well as Of
the present generation Of painters, 1t
Is worth noting, too, that he has no
sympathy with the current lament to
the effect that we no longer produce
really great artists.
The gardens az Sklbo, however, are
Mr.. Carnegle's especial pride, and of all
the things raised therein he takes the
greatest interest in the gooseberries,
which, by the way, are said to be the
finest grown In Scotland Gooseberres
are the one subject with which Mr.
Carnegie is apt TO bore his visitor, and
he will talk by the hour of the various
methods Of hybrldizing, fertilizing and
pruning for best results In short, de-
spite the fact that the gardens Of Skibo
are as beautiful and as picturesque as
any III IHeldnu, Tue lllllt NpiIiul ht-
voted to the gooseberrles possesses the
strongest fascination for their multi.
millionaire owner.
The estate surrounding Skibo castle
extends over an extreme length OF
about twenty miles, with a width at
some points Of nearly eight miles. II
comprises about $4,000 acres and con-
tains no diseased trees or waste places
