An Uncanny statue.

While visiting recently the Duke OF
Westminster at his London home
Molly Elliot Seawell greatly admired
a statue of Marie Antoinette, the work
of Lord Ronald Cover, a well known
amateur sculptor. So great was her
enthusiasm that Lord Ronald offered
to send her a miniature copy of the
statue In terra-cotta. saying at the
time. Il have given away q number
of these statuettes. but 1t is an extra
ordinary thinG that every one has ar
rived with the head cut of. At first

on the part of the man who nolds the

took every palms.

tina mine is to so to America and
tina he should take extra precautions
In the packing"
Some months after Miss Seawcli $

rived and was opened before her in
the custom house. The figure was
most carefully put UP in cotton. and
every feature and finger and detail
were perfect. but the head of Marie
Antoinette was separated from the
