PAINTED OVER COURT FINERY
Ruse by Which Nuns Had Queen De-
pIeted as a Member Of Their
Religious Order.

Through a chance discovery in the
garret Of a ducal palace In Madrid. a
three-hundred-year-Old romance of n
wonderful Velasquez has been re-
vealed. Hidden for three centuries as
a picture of a nun, this portrait Of
Queen Isabella of Spain, the first wife
Of King Philip Nv, has recently been
restored In London.
In the disguised picture practically
nothing but the face and hands of the
original was left uncovered. and the
secret was first guessed at owing TO
the paint peeling away from the nuns
hood, when there was revealed the
fringe of lace collar.
Princess Isabella OF Bourbon was
married to Philip in 1915, and In 1924
was staying in the convent OF the nuns
belonging to the order Of the Descal-
zos. As a mark of the kindness she
there received size presented the nuns
with this VelasqueE portrait Of her
self.
Later Isabella wished TO enter the
convent. but the pope would not con

and most splendid of the buildings
known In architecture as amphithea-
ters, which the Romans invented for
exhibiting gladlatorial combats, fights
of wild beasts and other spectacles.
The repetition Of arch beyond arch
and story over story gives this amphi-
theater its imposing grandeur. This
principle OF reduplication OF parts. Of
which the Gothic architects after
wards made so much use, is carried to
a greater extent than In any other Ro-
man building. II did not have a roof.
The upper story is not arched like the
three lower stories, but solid and with
pilasters. Some architects think II
was meant wholly for the purpose Of
supporting and working the great We

They both stood still. Dan was as
motionless as that day in the park,
long weeks before, when the squirrel
had climbed on his shoulder. The first
effect was sensation that the silence
was deepening around them. II wasn't
really true. 1t was simply that he
had become aware OF the little con.
tinuous sounds of which usually he
was unconscious. and they tended Ia
aecentuate the hush Of the night. He

The call to supper came then, and
Dan got his first sight of mountain
food. There were potatoes, newly
dug, mountain vegetables that were
crisp and cold, steak Of peculiar
shape, and a great bowl Of purple ber-
ries TO be eaten with sugar and cream.
Dams appetite was not as a rule par
ticularly good. But evidently the long
ride had affected him. He simply
didn't have the moral courage to re-
fuse when the elder Lennox heaped
his plate.
"Good heavens, can't eat all that"
he said, as It was passed to him. But
the others laughed and told him to
take heart.
He took heart. II was a singular
thing, but at that first bite his sudden
confidence in his gustatory ability al
most overwhelmed him. So he cut
himself a bite of the tender steak
fully half as generous as the bites that
Bill was consuming across the table.
And Its first flavor simply filled him
with delight.

hotel, Webster hotel, Jordan hotel,
Sheridan hotel. Plaza hotel, Algonquin
motel, all located in Chicago
The committee finds further that,
among others, the following hotels
have been financed by the American
BOND q Mortgage company on a plan
similar to that proposed for the fl
nancing of Hotel Renker, Hotel Fort,
Des Moines; Hotel Savery, Illinois;
Hotel Davenport, The Huntington.
Biltmore Apartment hotel, Ainslie
Apartment hotel. etc.
This committee finds that the
proposition offered by the American
Bond & Mortgage company, the wal
ter w. Ahlschlager corporation, and
the Building Securities company is
practical, equitable, and fair and that
the security offered by the company
to the investor is offered on the same
plan and in the same manner as that
offered to the investors in the various
hotel projects which they have
handled
The committee further finds that
w. B. (Billy) Smith has had a very
successful career as a business getter
and is an expert IN getting new hotels
filled to capacity and keeping them
there. He has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best hotel men in the
middle west and his services can be
secured for the management and SUI
pervision of Hotel Renker
The Directorate.
This committee finds that w. K.
Irenkle, of Chicago, president of the
Sheridan Wilson Hotel company, will
be director of the Renker Realty
and Hotel company; that Walter w.
Ahlschlager, of Chicago, president and
vice president of Chicago hotels, will
be a director; also w. B. Smith, and
the remaining directors will be chosen
by the stockholders of the company.
The plan provid es that in the event
a satisfactory contract is not entered
into with the bonding company. then
the $4,000 will be returned to the
original subscribers. The company,
however, reserves the right to begin
operations and construction of the
hotel when a lesser amount than
$4,000 is subscribed, provided the
Ahlschiager interests agree to finance
the remaining part and complete the
hotel and a contract is entered into
with the bonding company.
