LONDON, October 10.-The latest
London fad in fur fashions is the fur

Middlesex Hospital, Is priced at f15
(about $75). while other designs. in
beaver fur and in real ermine, trim.

pected to bring similarly high prices.
The increasing demand for rabbit
fur trimming has induced several so.
ciety women to breed rabbits for the

Helena Forbes, Lady Victoria Percy
and Lady Layland Barratt are the
latest to take up rabbit growing. which

showers; paintings, marble stairways
gardens, fountains-about every
splendor the imagination Of that era
could conceive. And yet, you can't
help thinking that while the whole
magnificent output meant personal
spiendor for Louis XIV, 1t likewise
meant work for looms and builders
and manufacturers. and that 1t gave
fame and money to art.
Louis XIV was not n good man, as
we are good In these hallowed days
but he was Industrious, and he kept
the French people from starving In a
day before trades and unions and
skilled labor put the workman on the
high ground Of unified strength.
He made his mistakes and paid for
them. but. good or bad, history ac.
cords him the title of Grand Monarch
That he deserved 1t means quite d
whole heap. And, anyhow, no matter
how he impoverished France, which
he doubtless did, In one way. he even
ed up In another. for he made Yer
sailles such a wonder-place that :he
country gets francs from every visitor
who beholds its long deserted glory
And you s5nay recall the hard knocks
that both the Grand Monarch and his
father, Louis XIII, got for the money
they wasted on the palace that was to
become the Louvre? That was long
time ago, but II you consider the lines
Of people every day. and all day long
waiting until the crowd ahead gives
them a chance to get in--at SO many
francs per head-and then try to
reckon up how much money France
makes on both the Palace Of Versailles
and the Louvre you can sum up
pretty big total in favor OF the King
whose extravaganza Impoverished
France"
Some historic Archimedes has fig
ured out that the cost OF the palace
in furnishings and upkeep, amounted
to $500, 600, ,000-but, at that, none
Of US would have wanted to live there.
seeing that in Winter the wine and
water froze in glasses at the table
and paper had to be pasted over win
dows to keep the wind from whistling
through.
Yes, 1t was a wonder place to
glimpse-most places are wonderful
in one way or another--and since Its
creator lies under the dust Of cen
turies 1t Is just as well to feel, as
Fenelon said. through the allegory OF
his Telemachus:
by wishing to appear great. you
have ruined your true greatness"
