W&e M>rM ed, British financiers and merchants got cold feet and wanted to abandon the whole enterprise. Wales came to the rescue and made his little speech--as quoted In the foregoing. Naturally this speech Jarred the dignified exposition board--high-ups In London ^ don't talk that way. But they understood what Wales' American and Canadian language meant. They made him president of the board and raised the second hundred million. So now this exposition Is popularly known as the "Boy Prince's Exhibition," In contrast with the "Princfe Consort's Exhibition" in the middle of the last century. ~ ' To return to the "Queen's Doll House": The most Interesting room In the house is the llbrary.( It Is 28 inches high, walnscotted In walnut.*, The ceiling Is by Wllllani WalcoL The books ar4[ bound ijt red or gray leather, Two hundred . noted British authors have contributed the Volumes.

D. 1924 lived and had his being. That being the case, he should -hunt up what Is left of the British Museum and keep digging until he finds the "Queen's Doll House." For the "Queen" Is Mary, consort'of George V, king of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas and Emperor of India. The "Doll House" Is a reproduction in miniature of the typical city home of a rich Briton of the present day. This house Is five feet by eight feet six Inches and five feet high. The scale is one Inch to a foot. The execution is so perfect that from photographs It Is not possible to realize that the rooms and their furnishings are not full size-- as the photographs herewith reproduced demonstrate. The outside walls can be raised so that every room of the flve-story establishment can be seen. The garden folds up and slides into the basement at one end, as does the garage at the other. The "Queen's Doll House" Is the gift to Queen Mary from hundreds of her artistic subjects who have been engaged on the work for the last two years. Queen Mary will exhibit It lh the Palace of Arts at the British Empire exhibition at Wembly, now just beginning. The proceeds will go to charity and It Is the idea that eventually the house Is to go Into the British Museum for the benefit of posterity. - It is a fair guess that the "Queen's Doll House" will not be the least interesting exhibit of the exposition. For the "Queen's Doll House" Is a real marvel. The best that British genius can do has been lav-~ lshed upon It, regardless ot time and pains and expense. Here are a few facts that give a hint as to the wap the work has been done: Scores of controversies have arisen and bees fought out to the bitter end over such details as the thirty-second of an Inch In the width of a picture frame, the binding of a book not as large as a fingernail and the tints in a rug a few Inches square. Sir David Murray, president of the Royal Institute of Painters, was responsible for the decoration. He thought some of the friezes and mural paintings out of harmony with their surroundings and kept at hla fellow artlata until they did their work all over. There Is a golf bag and complete set of clubs, flven by Lady Maud Warrender. It is accompanied by a book on golf, written by her after months of research among the records of the British Museum on the "royal ancient game." And maybe the controversies over the proper clubs and Irons to go in that bag were not hot and long, drawn out! What the house would have cost had the services of those who took part been paid for at the market price can only be guessed. Anyway, a tiny volume written for the library by Hudyard Klp- . ling was insured for 500 pounds sterling, when tuken out for reproduction. Sir Edwin Luytens, who helped plan the new Indian capitol at Delhi and designed the cenotaph in Whitehall, planned^ the house and has supers vised the work. Queen Mary herself has also had a hand in the supervision and has made contributions. Here are some of the features of the establishment: Mechanically the house Is a marvel. There la an electric lift (elevator) with external control. The four bath rooms and kitchen have running hot and cold water. There is a complete electric lighting installation. There are all sorts of rooms from a box (storage) room to a string room for the crowns scepters (set with real jewels). The store room contains pots of jam and marmalade. The wine cellar hns bottles of real wines and liquors, labeled, binned and cobwebbed. The garage contains five automobiles by noted British makers. Th<> bedrooms are completely furnished, e;ven to toothbrushes. The nursery, decorated by Edward Duloac. with fairy 6torles, has every toy that a child could wish--including a toy tralu, a model ttifater and lead soldiers. The center of the main front Is taken Bp by the great staircase hall, thirty-one Inches broad, In marble with lapis lazuli inlays. The mural decorations are by William Nicholson. The subject is "The Expulsion from Eden," with all the • animals looking on. The "Queen's Bedroom," of which a photograph It here reproduced. Is a miracle of completeness. The' celling Is by Glyn Phllpot, A. It. A., in black, red and yellow. The furniture is black walnut The bed hangings are gray silk. The toilet set-ii In blue enamel. There Is even a framed photograph of King George on the wall. Another miracle of completeness Is the dining room, also pictured herewith. This room is fortytwo und one-hulf inches long, twenty Inches wide and fifteen inches high. Hie dining table Is two and one-half Inches high und Is set with linen, glass and plate, even to saltcellars. The chairs are works of art. Note the Completeness and beauty of the sideboard. The celling Is by Gerald Moira, K. W. S. On the walls are portraits by famous artists. These Include King Edward III and King James V of Scotland, by Sir William Llewellyn, R. A., R. I. Others are Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort. - - -- * Looking across the table In the dining room one may see a portrait of the Prince of Wales in hunting costume, by A. J. Munnings, A. It. A. This picture is actually about half the size of a postage stamp. In view of the recent experiences, of the Prince of Wales, the fact that the painting pictures him on foot in front of his horse evokes a smile. Just the same, it was the Prince of Wales who saved the exposition from failure. At one stage of the enterprise, \yhen $100,000,000 had been spent and another hundred million was need- Of* GCAJgn&Y specially-printed postage stamps and pipes sac tobacco. Doubtless American Ideas on this Brltfish Emplrt exhibition will vary as widely as the viewpoints. It is Intended to show the whole of the Itritlsji Empire In miniature--in 241 acres on the outskirts of London. Its main purpose Is to advertise the resources of the empire, to stimulate British trade, to restore prewar nctivity and prosperity. Britons wili tell you that It was the great Industrial fair given in Hyde Park In the middle of the last century that gave England industrial supremacy. To restore that supremacy Is the first purpose of this fair Richmond Temple, one of the directors, said recently In New York: "This exhibition is a gigantic effort on the part of our industrialists to pay our war debt and to re-establish the prosperity enjoyed prior to the war. All parties nre behind it. The whole business community of England, Scotland and Wales hns for two years given Its first attention to the details. England must sell her goods, and must Bell them to other countries besides the United States, In order to pay the $157,000,000 In gold which each year has to be sent to this country. We, therefore, decided that In order to attract the buying public of the world to our goods we would hnve she biggest shop window ever built, where the goods of the biggest empire in the world might be displayed. In It the needs of the most exacting shopper In the most remote corner of the earth can be satisfied." That It will be an interesting exhibition Is as evident as that It Is Intended to cut into American trade with the British dominions. For the British line Is far-flung and the sun never sets on the British flag. Five minutes will suffice to take the visitor from Newfoundland to Australia, from South Africa to Malta. One-fourth of the world will he shown at Weinbly--in Its native dress In its everyday life. ^ The, United States will be represented only In the International rodeo, open to the world, which takes place the last two weeks of June. Three hundred cowboys and rough-riders will go from America. To an English-speaking- people like the Americans, with many roots in the British Isles, the exhibition makes a certain sentimental appeal. For the Briton, though he Is land-grabber, Is a good colonizer. And as a land-grabber lie is built on a heroic scale. Britain's sons, ever since the tima of Raleigh, have been busy carrying the British flag pver the seven seas to the uttermost ends of the earth. They created the "White Man's burden" and shouldered it cheerfully, usually to the benefit of the burden. They grabbed, hung on." cleared,, planted and built--and created a new empire and a new civilization. And this exhibition will BIIOW the fruits of that empire-building. The descendants of the pioneers are returning with the trophies of that pioneering.

Dusk had deepened to night before I reached the crest of the hill above the town. From there I looked down on a splendid transformation. Every house waa ablaze with light; not a window square, upstaira or down, bnt patterned itself in thp snow. . I remembered then: this was the evening for the opening of the electrical station. had been talk of It for weeks.

"And to think,' said the old tobacco woman, "that we have lived so darkly all these years of winter nights!" Her little sljop was flooded with light, and she almost garrulous In her excitement. -"'You see," she said, "one has only to turn this button!" and she showed me how it wefked^ * , All the children Ut iown were gathered before the window of the hardware store, where lighted chandeliers of many varieties and colors were displayed for sule. Fathers and mothers walked up and down in front of their houses, seaming to doubt ^them their own. Even before the bookshop window the light sparkled with diamond points in the snow.
