an amusing story went the round of the
French press al the time of the last Paris
exhibition. The duke, it was said, was
strolling through the loan section of the
English exhibits with a friend and
stopped to look with admiration at a
prophyry table of matchless beauty. He
examined it long with the eye of a con-
noisseur and at last exclaimed: 81 won
der who is the owner of such a beautiful
specimen of workmanship. almost feel
inclined to envy him." His companion,
who had consulted the catalogue,
handed it to him with a smile. 1t con-
tanned the information that the table
came from Chatsworth house and was
lent by the duke of Devonshire.-Lo
