and Frich Il Is believed sought to
draw out from the President I'm AS
Rurance that he would not invoke tho
law in tic present instance.
While no authoritative statement
was youchsalcd by the President or
any of the officials at the executive
oirices there ~ reason To believe that
the President declined TO commit him

the steel corporation officials felt that
insofar as tho absorption of the Ten

situation, II would not evoke any hos

ROOM DRAPERIES.
Artistic Ways of Hanging Window
Curtains

Quite recently / wrote OF window cur
tain materials that are suitable for various
rooms and now I want to suggest how
these draperies may be hung. Their ar
rangement depends entirely upon the To-
cation of windows. That Is. il one has no
neighbor directly across the street and the
hangings are not needed as screens, the
lace, etc, may be arranged in variety
of pretty ways. Where houses are close
together the draperies must be hung SO
that privacy is insured to the occupants.
This condition is easily obtained. but
makes necessary the putting up Of two
sets of curtains. One pair must be hung
straight or fiat against the glass. The
other, an overdrapery, may be artistically
arranged, and in this way will cover the
plainness Of the first set. The sash or
glass curtains may be of the "bonne

May Rebuild a Palace.

It is commonplace that Buckingham
Palace is one of the ugliest and dingiest
Of the great buildings of London. It has
been taken for Victoria railway station
by Americans frequently. 1t is certainly
unworthy to be the chief residence Of
the king. When the great Victoria me-
mortal in front Of the palace is completed
its sonber and undgnifed exterior will
make an odious comparison with the rich
ments now being made in the Mall and
the neighborhood of the palace. If the
palace is to be in keeping with its sur
roundings it will have to undergo great
transformation.
The king has long been alive to the
necessity for reconstruction of the facade
of the palace. The cost would be too
great for his majesty's privy purse. and
as the palace is really a national monu-
ment, of which the king is only tenant
as is necessary should be borne by the
nation. The king is very reluctant to
make an appeal to parliament for the
necessary funds. and to surmount this
influential people are now devising a
scheme by which the public might con-
tribute the necessary sum for the inn
proyement without making a call upon the
national exchequer.
l have no doubt that such an appeal
required would be more than subscribed
The intention of the promoters would be
to make the new facade a gift to the
king from his people in recognition of his
great services to the nation.
London Land Values.
1t is probably only a coincidence that
the Earl of Crewe has decided to sell
Crewe House. better known as Wharn-
cliffe House, Mayfair, on the eve of the
governments promulgating their policy
for the taxation of ground values. Crewe
House is essentially a property where the
site value Is enormous-probably much
above the value of the buildings, which
are scarcely worthy of the position. The
site and buildings realized nearly E1OO.-
00O when sold by the Earl OF
Wharncliffe five years ago. The estate
was sold as a freehold, Lord Wharncliffe
some time before. although he held the
property on lease, with some hundreds
of years to run at nominal ground
rent. In the heart Of Mayfair where
Crewe House Is situated, there has been
q great rise in property.
Not many years ago Mr.. Mcguire, q
wellknown member of parliament and ar,
connoisseur. bought Chesterfield House

sions. The late Cardinal Manning had
an experience Of the same kind. With
money placed at his disposal for the site
Of the Roman Catholic cathedral at
Westminster he bought a large area OF
slum property for s20O,oO0. and subse-
| quently sold portion Of the site for
G250,0OO. thus getting the cathedral site
for 100000 less than nothing. Many
of the great eleemosynary corporations
| could tell the same tale, and it will be
bad day for hospitals and the great
charitable corporations If they are robbed
of the fruits of the foresight Of those
who invested their funds in the past
