On M6vling Jni-o No. 10 Downing St, Wh-,en we mioved into 10 Dow-. ing Street on the 5ffh of MVay, 1 could not liei1p a feeling o! sadness as 1 arn faitjhful to a ialnt, and sensitively sentimen- tal about myv home. Ail the col- our, fu~rniture, grates, cýurtains, and every chair-, table, and rug in Cavendish Square 1 had cho- ,en Imryseif.

It is a con- stant source Of surprise to peo- ple of moderate means to ob- eerve how littie a b7ig fortune contributes to beautY. You may. go ta a house ini which ail that you are showvn is priceless. You spend youir day with fellow-guests in a chorus of praise, touring till you are tired looking at pictures that are numbered, books t h atar autographed, furniture which îs dated, and bronzes thai are sign.- ed. Your host swallows _Wlth c[omplacerlcyý in a circular smile- aII that is said, wvhile punctuat- ing the pau-ses wih omplaints of bis own povýerty'. It is the general atmosphere-ý, colour and arrangement thaDt makes a house beautifl, and thjere -,as littie ef this to con- sole me il. nY new home. 10 Downing Street oughIt t0 be as weIll n in Landon as the Marbie Arch or the Albert JVlIeorial, b ui t it is n o t.
