Studio and Home.


Mr.. Ward took all these things into
consideration some years ago, when
he hit upon the idea of using con-
ventional two-story stable for combi

living apartments on the two floors
above. In passing this singular look

LONDON, April 5.-Preparations
for the departure of King Edward for
Copenhagen tomorrow, where he and
Queen Alexandria will take part as
usual in the celebration of King
Christians birthday, have revived
the reports that the gathering at the
Danish capital may have an import
ant bearing on the movement looking
to the restoration of peace between
Russia and Japan. Should the Daw-
ager Empress of Russia attend her
fathers birthday celebration, it will
be regarded as a strong indication
that plans will be discussed for the
ending of the war in the far east.
King Christian himself is a strong
advocate of peace, while it is believed
also that King Edward would sincere
ly like to see the conflict terminated
