Queen Mary has fitted all the rooms of Sandrngham palace with Nottingham lace curtains and also has provided many of the beds in the famous palace with Noting gham lace spreads. This has come as something of shock to decorators who have been decrying lace curtains, Such draperes had been rele- gated to the less fashionable sururhs
 In doing over the old home of the late Queen Alexandra a free sweep to her own taste has been taken by Queen Mary. The pal ace was somewhat gloomy, with dark hangings and furniture. The Queen has banished this gloom entirely and given a very bright home ly appearance 10 the palace. It was filled with many gifts and trophies of much sentimental value to the late queen, but most of these have been removed from the living rooms if they did not conform with the simpler style of decoration Queen Mary has chosen.

CHICAGO, May 14.-All grains
closed lower on the Cihacog Board
of Trade today. There was a sharp
decline in wheat price levels and it
increased in the coarse grain pits.
Liquidations was the chief reason
why wheat closed sharply lower in
all deliveries. Other factors that
contributed to the rapid decline were
the reports Of large shipment from
Duluth and FIT William on their way
here and the weakness Of the for
