Mrs. Gardeners palace, if not exact
~ famous in song and story, has been
noted in newspaper story and current
gossip for three years. or ever since
around the site Of the future palace
museum, and the foundation stones
were laid.
If Mrs. Gardner wanted to attract
attention to her plan for supplying
the public with mystery and art she
needed no press agent. She did the
work with a high stone wall and cor
dons of policemen with special in
structions to let no newspaper man
escape Bluebeard's closet was a mat
ter of tea table gossip beside it, and
no Eastern zenana was ever more jeal-
ously guarded from the profane gaze
than this palace of>mystery.
Not even her most intimate friends
We're allowed to pass the gate in the
stone wall, and once, when the acous-
tic properties of the music room had
to be tested, Mrs. Gardner resorted to
the unique device of bringing a chorus
of 100 blind children from the asylum
for the blind and causing them to
sing in the sacred chamber, of which
they could tell no tales.
OutWardly the buildings are not i'm
posing. High and long plain walls
are broken by the simplest possible
windows and surrounded by slant
ing red tiled roof. pitched barely
enough to let the rain flow off. But
within the courtyard is beautiful in
itself, and all the rooms are of pala-
tial proportions and medieval mag
niffcence.
Running around the courtyard is a
narrow path, or promenade, in which
tall palms and ferns are interspersed
with famous specimens of old Italian
Statuary, with busts and broken. col
umns at intervals. On either side OF
the entrance are panels representing
scriptural scenes, and on the left is
a niche where a collection of stucco
figures show the crucifxion.
The structural decorations around
the courtyard are of marble and
brick, with two mute guards, in an
cient Roman armor. bearing poised
battle axes and shields. In the main
part of the house are a Dutch room,
Persian room, Japanese room and
an Italian room, each furnished in

But as everybody is aware, st. Paul

that secondhand volumes of RosWells

Ornaments Lost in DRAWING Room.

1t is said that quantities of orna-
ments are lost each year at the draw
ing rooms or courtslat Buckingham

proportion is recovered. A strange
story is told about a diamond neck
lace which was found some time ago
at one of the state balls. 1t hap
pened that one of the late queens la
dies in waiting picked up a diamond
necklace from the floor AS she stood

however, was very firm, and declared
that 1T was her duty to give it to the
lord chamberIain's office, as this was
the rule with regard to anything found
In the palace. The lady protested in
vain, but the oldest thing was that aft
er the necklace reached the lord cham
berlain's office no one came forward to
claim it. 1t is a common sight to see
ladies at the court balls fill their hand
kerchiefs with sweets and cake from
the supper tables, and, according to
some. lace handkerchiefs and Jewels
are waited away in a similar manner.
And sometimes, fur stoles, and lovely
opera cloaks have been secured in
spoil.
