Queen Mary Is Busy
With New Curtains
For Palace

LONDON, Feb. 6 d.N.S).-The
troubles of the average housewife,
magnified perhaps hundred
times, occasionally beset Queen
Mary.
Now that the king is recovering
from his long illness, the queen is
able to turn her attention to her
household duties. She has found
that new curtains are needed for
her home, Buckingham PALACE.
More than 900 pairs Of different
kinds are needed. The king always
has plain net in his rooms, the
queen herself chooses silk, and
the Duke of Gloucester has
penchant for sober hued damask.
Prince George wants gay chintz,
and the tastes of the members of
the Palace staff are as diversified.
They are all consulted az to what
they want, and the queen then
does the ordering herself.
