Prince Nicholas of Greece, and last, not least. Prince Orloff, with his handsome wife, who is always the best-drecsed woman in any room where she may be. There, too, were Baron and Baroness dolph Meyer, naturally speaking a great deai about their experiences In China. There v.gs a dinner, too.

A great deal has been written and said about the various collections made by royal personages, but few people know that the Princess of Wales has a quite remarkable collection consisting of all the hats and bonnets she has worn during the last thirty odd years.

Lady Dufferln has Just presented to the Belfast Gblf Club a tantalus which was the property of Lord Ava, who died In South Africa. Lord Ava was Captain of the Belfast Golf Club In 189S-99.

The last few days before the Queen's departure for Osborne were very busy ones at Windsor, for not only were there many preparations for the Journey, but great parcels of Christmas presents of all kinds were almost hourly arriving, to be Inspected and ade ready for dispatch. Tha enormous nun.ber ot Rift given by the Queen at Christmas is almost beyond calculation. There are. of course, gifts for all her Majesty's Immediate family circle, but other royal personages have to be remembered, as well as a great number of relatives and connections abroad.

Then, too, all the Queen's household, servants, tenants, and de taiuVnts. both past and present, are never forgotten: and their presents are always vry valuable and Increase In proportion with their years of service, many of the old servants receiving whole services of silver. The Queen aluo sends many Christmas cards, and very often the plain side is completely covered with good wishes in her own handwriting. 8be cannot, of course, see every one the presents she sends, but uny Items of Jewelry she always carefully inspects, as well us any gifts for children, which can never be too many or too charming.

In a good many quarters recently statements have been made to the effect that the Chlgi Botticelli supposed to have been bought either by P. A. B.

Wldener or Mrs. Jack Gardner will be the only undoubted example of the famous Florentine's work in America. These state ments are Incorrect. A painting. Included by all the experts as being among the genuine Botticellis In existence, at present hangs In a private office in West Fourteenth Street.

It is the property of Oeorge A. Hearn. who bought it from a private collector in England. It was taken to the latter country from Italy early in the century. The painting is circular in form.

Inclosed in a splendid old carved frame. It represents the Madonna and Child, with St. John and an attendant angel. The faces of the two latter figures are supposed to be portraits of Giuliano and Lorenzo dl Medici. Two vases of flowers, including some of those roses about which Ruskin went Into raptures, appear in the background.

Although Hendtick Christian Anderson, the sculptor, is an American cltlzeji, persons in thU country who desire to possess a specimen of his work in colored terra cotta will have to pay just about twice the sum the same work costs In London. A Nev York firm of art dealers recently made arrangements with Mr. Anderson, most of whose work has been done abroad, to import a few of the large busts which have created so much interest. The work was sent over each piece finished and colored by the sculptor. When It reached the Appraiser's Store here the officials were puzzled, and after much consideration Informed the importers that they could not see any signs of the busts being works of art," and must therefore class them as manufactured pottery." In vain were agitated protests made; in vain was it pointed out that if the objects in question were not works of art, hardly anything produced by modern sculptors could be classed under that head; In vain was the fact that Mr.

Apderson is an American citizen advanced. The oracle had spoken; If the importers wanted to appeal to Washington they could do so. The Importers declare that they know from bitter experience how futile is any appeal to Washington on a question such as this. They say tne matter is simply re i 1 1 xm. ferred back to New York for report, and that of course the report declares the New York people right.

They therefore paid the duty, and as a consequence have to charge ftfoo for what is sold in England for 30 guineas. The Salmagundi Club has developed into an Institution of far wider scope than belonged to it originally, but Its members have not forgotten that it is In the first place a Bketchlng club," and the annual sale of sketches by Salmagundians is among the interesting artistic events of the year. The next annual sals Is to be held on Jan. 14, and an exhibit of more than usual interest Is expected. A very few people who watched the destruction of the Dewey Arch were rather curious to know whether it was by accident or design that the bas-relief on the west side of the structure was the last of the adornments of the arch left in place.

They wondered whether the bas-relief In question was to be removed entire or torn down in the same manner as the rest of the groups, single figures, and reliefs. They were not long In doubt. One morning the work lay on the ground in a hundred pieces. The reason for this curiosity on the part of the limited number of persons alluded to was that the bas-relief was the only finished piece of sculptor's work on the arch. It was produced by Johannes Gelert, the Danish artist, who was among the first who accepted the Invitation of the Natloual Sculpture Society committee to contribute to the adornment of the arch.

But while Mr. Gelert's fellow-sculptors were content to make rough sketch models, from which professional modelers produced the large staff figures, Mr. Gelert completed his bas-relief unaided, with almost as much care as though it were to be used as the model for a permanent work in bronze or marble. Some of tha other sculptors were at first afraid that a Blngle piece of fin- lsned worn would looK out or place in Juxtaposition to the other roughly blocked out adornments, but as Mr. Gelert's bas-relief could not be seen at the same time as the rest of the arch, this fear proved groundless.

A large etching of Rembrandt's painting, The Mennonlte Preacher Analo," has been executed by Karl Koepplng, the etcher of the Syndics and Frans Hais's The Archers of St. George." A new plan has been followed In regard to the printing of this latest etching, the plate having been destroyed after 125 proofs were struck off. Among the thousands of calendars Issued by business houses, that given away by the Equitable Life Assurance Society Is noticeable for Its artistic quality. It was designed by Boutet de Monvel. and, like all that artist's work, has proved capable cf most successful reproduction by chromo- nthography.

The design is a simple but pleasing one, and in sharp contrast to some of the monstrosities in the way of calendars annually perpetrated. The seventy-sixth annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design will be open In the galleries of the American Fine Arts Society, 215 West Fifty-seventh 8treet. from Jan. 5 to Feb. 2.

Next Wednesday evening the President and Council of the Academy will give a reception to John D. Cauldwell. Director of Fine Arts on the United 8 tales Commission to the Paris Exposition. Mr. Cauldwall is also to be entertained at dinner by the Salmagundi Club.

It Is understood that the gold medal established as an annual prise by George Inness. In memory of his father, for the best American landscape at the Academy of Design exhibition, will be awarded by the Jury to Bruce Crane. The formal announcement of the awaxd will ba made when the exhibition opens. There are few original picture of Washington in England, hence tha discovery of another miniature is Interesting.

It Will Open in May, Closing In NovemberRival to the Pan-American Exposition. The great rival to the coming Pan-America a Exposition at Buffalo for the entertainment and instruction or the world's sightseers next year will be the Glasgow International Exhibition, which will open in May and close in November. The City of Glasgow is not a novice in the matter of world's fairs, her exhibition In 1888 having been attended by over 6,000,000 people and yielding a surplus of more than a quarter of a million dollars. The present scheme, which originated as far back as 1897, however. Is far more comprehensive than Its predecessor.

It Is designed to carry on an exhibition of the manufactures, products. Industries, and material resources of all nations, and of the machinery and appliances relating thereto, and of articles Illustrative of science and art, including ethnology and aichaeology. In particular, it Is Intended that the exhibition shall present a full illustration of the British Empire, Its dependencies, dominions, and colonies, and the progress in Industries, science, and art of all nationalities during the nineteenth century. The exposition has the patronage of the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and a large representation of the nobility of the British Empire. Among the buildings already nearlng completion on the exposition site is the Fine Art Galleries, a magnificent structure costing a million and a quarter of dollars, the inauguration of which synchronizes with the opening of the exhibition.

The main buildings, now almost completed, cover an area of more than twenty acres. The international character of the exhi bition can best be shown by the following list of countries whose official support has been secured in addition to the exhibits of the United Kingdom: Russia. France. Austria. Japan.

Morocco. Mexico, Persia. Denmark. India. Western Australia.

Canada, Queensland, British South Africa, and South Australia. Whila America will not bo officially represented, manufacturers have taken considerable space In the machinery section. Some of tin; nationalities mentioned above are erect ing special pavilions tn addition to the space allotted to tnem in tne main Duuamg. Canada is to have a special building, cov ering about 12.IW0 square feet, wherein to exhibit minerals, manufactures, agricul tural products, and fruit in season. It Is a significant fact that over 400 exhibitors are expected from France, whose section is being organized by a committee nominated by the French Government.

In the Machinery Hall a feature will be the driving of exhibits by electric motors, and there will also be a comprehensive collection of labor-saving appliances from America and elsewhere, besides a great display of manufacturing machinery in operation. As might be expected of a city of the maritime importance of Glasgow the marine engineering exhibit will be one of the conspicuous the entire exhibition. Marine engineering and shipbuilding will be represented by the rhief builders of the Clyde, the Tyne, and the Mersey, and. in addition, a loan collection of about lo selected models will show the development of this great Industry during the nineteenth century. A feature of the exhibition will be the music, $100,000 having been set aside for this purpose alone, the chief aim being to illustrate the musio of all nations.

Sousa'a Band has been engaged to represent America. The announcement of the exhibition has induced a number of scientific and other societies to visit Glasgow, and the follow-, ing among other bodies will hold their annual meetings there: The British Association, Institute of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Chemical Industries, Society of Engineers and Shipbuilders, Institute of Naval Architects, International Engineering Congress, Royal Institute of British Architects. International Association for the Advancement of Science, Arts, and Education: International law Association, Municipal Electrical Association. University graduates will be Interested In the celebration of the four hundred and fiftieth anniverslty of the foundation ot Glasgow University, which was sanctioned by Pope Nicholas V. in 1451 as a college for the study of Theology Canon and Civil Law, Arts, and any other Faculty that might be lawful, with, the same power as any other studlum generate In Christendom."

Crepe de chine ts having Its Innings this year and throws Into the shade some old favorites In the way of dress goods. The -favorite material is worn In all shades and appears In street as well as evening gowns, house gowns, and in everything in the way of a gown that a clever modiste can suggest The Identical material, shade and all, may masquerade In any number of different gowns, the simplicity or elab orateness of the making determining the position of the gown In the wardrobe of th wearer. There is not a shade that can be mentioned that is not being worn, though black and white vie with each other for the first rank in The pastel shades are as popular In the crepes as tn other goods of all kinds and descriptions. There are the tans and grays, the browns and blues, in the latter the bright marine blue, the electric, and the navy being- popular. Other -shades are coming In In the Spring, rumors 1 which are well grounded say, and a bright' red of nearly the golf shade will be among them, and a cerise red.

Crepes come in all prices as well as In all shades and range from $1 to 18 a yard. There not as great a variation as might seem in these prices, for the lower priced goods are from 21 to 24 Inches wide, while the more expensive goods coma at 64 Inches and cut to Infinitely better advantage, it hardly pays to buy the cheapest goods, as they are lighter in weight and have not the wearing qualities of the heavier or the body to give them good lines. The plain colors have the advantage this season, and they are more popular In all goods than fancy designs. With the plain crepe a chines are the satin finished, crepe metiorea, the crinkled crepes, and crepe a conn, or broche. with figures of pretty rosebud designs and vari ous medium and small figures.

These latter crepes, which are exceedingly attractive, range at about $9 a yard, which Is high for a popular material, the medium-priced goods being always more In demand. Crepe de chines this year are taking the place of the satin due he use and even of the peau de sole. Chiffons come In in the history of crepe de chines, for they go Into the make-up of so many of them, varying according to the character of the gowns. The chiffon Is not used to any great extent for entire gowns. It Is too fragile and Its beauty depend upon its freshness.

It is charming In accordion plaited gowns, but It takes at least forty yards to make a frock of that kind. CARTOONS ATTRIBUTED TO RA dm a ci The seven cartoons, which, according' documents and certificates from certain -eminent foreign experts, were drawn by Raphael for the tapestries ordered tn 1515 by Pope LeoNJC. for the Slstlne Chapel, and which are called the Vatican tapestries, were placed on exhibition yesterday at the Amer- lean Art Galleries. They were brought here by their owner, the Countess O. de Dobryschlne of Odessa, Russia.

When ex. hibited tn the Louvre, in Paris, in 1890 the cartoons, which are done with a brush on a porous canvas, excited no end of crlti- cai discussion among the Cognoscenti. Tne tapestries, which were made In Flanders from these cartoons, if these are the original ones, have much the same color. It is unnecessary at this time to describe th -cartoons, whose subjects are the well- -known "Miraculous Draught of Death Of Ananias," Blinding of the 6or cTr." Healing of the Lame Man." 8U Paul at Athens St. Paul and Barnabas at Lystra." and "Feed My Sheep," famll- lar to all art students and lovers and even the most remote districts of the civilised world.

v. The most Interesting feature of the car-toons as now shown is their wonderful stats of preservation. Traces of restoration are visible here and there, but on the whole the canvas is tn fuch a good state and the coN ors are so bright as to make it difficult to believe that they are nearly 400 years old, as claimed. Poroua canvas, it would seem. Is as enduring as marble or brass.
