Tower has rented for the period of his resi-

was formerly in the possession of a media

legislature, and is sumptuously furnished
and QUILTED from top to bottom. The
American ambassadors residence is the
scene of continuous social gayety during

from his vehicle by a gorgeously uniformed
porter. who looks imposing enough to be q
full blown general and who wears huge

nothing in the kings palace to compare

The mansion is built throughout In the
same style of grandeur and contains one
of the best collections of pictures In Eng

they are insured for s25.O00.O00. Most of
them are old masters. They include fine
specimens of Titan. VelasQuez, Tintoretto,

other attraction OF the house is a superb
library containing many rare and curious
