tbeOrder of the Uo ltal of St. us Ban KCJi uu DO A. W. CHRISTIES 150 YEARS OP A GREAT ART FIRM. FROM A COBBXSrOSDXXT.

The announoement was made yesterday at Christies by Mr. W. Anderson. one of the nartners In UM firm. that this yr the historic house has reached Its UOth birthday.

Christie- ha always been controlled by a few private individuals rarely more than two or three. There has been no Christie in the firm since 2119 Manson ceased to be' anything but a name some years before. and Woods the last bearer of a familiar name. died 10 years ago. Both the List Mr.

Christie and Mr. Woods left considerable fortunes and. what is more untarnished reputations for uprightness and fair dealing. The first lames Christie whowas born at Perth in 1730. and died In 1803 began life like the first John Murray the publisher as a sailor but he appears to have tired of the sea.

Coming up to London. he found employment with an auctioneer named AntlaJer1n In Covcnt Garden. th whom toe was a partner for a few years in 1766 he started on hi own account In Pall-mall. During the early year. Mr.

Christie who numbered Reynolds Osinaborough. and Garrick among his many friends sold anything he could get hold of from farm stock to Dutch bulbs from pans and razors to sedan chairs even coffins were not refused. But. the first Mr. Christie as GalnsDorooghs portrait of him shows wee a gentleman.

and his great object was to make his auction rooms into a ren dtnoua for art lovers of all tastes. This ideal has been fully maintained up. to the present day. There have be many riyals. but.

Christies has become a living tradition. the clearing house" of the fine art of this country where collections are formed and where they are dispersed. and will continue to be so as long as the spirit of the original James Chriatle and his even more eminent. son the scholarly author James Christie wnmdu. continue to animate the policy of the firm.

Among the relics of the firm are the first Mr. Christies hammer- and the original rostrum. manufactured by Thomas Chippendale. The firm baa never been more than a few yards away from its present location. and in it few moves it has always either preceded or followed an art firm.

Mr. ChristieVflrnt rooms had previously been tenanted by Richard Dalton the prinUeller in Pall-mall and after that he moved to the house adjoining Schomberg House aim in Pall-mall where Gainsborough had set up when he came from Bath to London to 1774. The present. quarters first occupied in 1823 had been formerly Wilson's European Emporium or museum for the sale of pictures tc. and before that a notorious IL It is at the present house.

now considerably enlarged and extended. that nearly all the great art sale have been held. and that in many seasons goods to the value of over a million sterling have been knocked down. QUARTZ-GLASS BLOWING. NEW CALLING FOR WOMEN WORKERS.

LADY XDERO presided yesterday at a meeting at. the Women's Oxy-acetylene Welding Workshops. 5 Johnston Netting Hill-gate where women are trained for aircraft. work under the auspices of Women's Service 38 Victoria-street SW She said that. skilled labour was badly wanted in the repair shops it the front and the only way to set.

free skilled and skilled men at home was for more educated women to take up skilled work. Women could not do the work in the repair shops at the front. but. they could do it at. home.

Miss DES in an aunt of the work said that during the past year hey had trained over 100 workers and those had gone out in small gangs of five or six to various workshops. They were paid at first Sd. an hour and afterwards 941. which was a roans pre- war mlfli" One firm had refused this and the society declined to let them have any workers since men were now being paid as much as Is. Od.

an hour for this work. The firm would not at. first. yield but alter trying to train youths they sent to the women's training shop offering them anything they liked to ask. At another workshop women were being trained in quartz-glass blowing and some of the trained women were now doing valuable work.

This was the first time women ht been engaged on what was a new industry and had been practised In Germany before the war. It. had been discovered that. quartz could he melted under a strong heat such as that. of the oxyacetylene gasj Quartz-glass had the great.

advantage of having nocoefficient of expansion and would not crack in any extremes of heat. or cold. It also lad the advantage for chemical purposes of allowing the extreme violet rays to pass through. THE USE OF POLICEMEN. TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.

Sir As a gather who has recently lost a brave and much-loved son in the Battle of the Somme. one who lelt his civil employment and without. any remuneration from his employers excepting one months extra salary volunteered for service in the defence of the Empire. the sanctity of the. homes of our Motherland together with liberty.

right. and all we hold dear I wish to express publicly how it made my blood boil to see this morning Monday at 1:10. as I passed a shop just. by the corner of court road where a drapery sale was in progress a queue of ladies waiting and the door and side entrance guarded by IS policemen. This number 1 can corroborate.

or Is this the first during the war. In justice to the ladles present. now as well as on toviner occasions there seemed to be no need for more than one policeman or two at the most. to regulate entry. Yours taittuully A TUBE INCIDENT.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. Sir On Saturday evening last at :1.15 o'clock a friend and I were coming down the spiral staircase at the cross Embankment Station we were puzzled by a curious irregular thump thump thump" preceding us from below of which we could not see the cause nearly at the bottom came upon two wounded soldiers with only two legs between them. The perspiration was pouring off their fall as they painfully and laboriously hopped from one step to the next below tarrying their crutches. We. of course helped them to the bottom and put them into the train.

We then ascertained that they were just out of hospital and were on their way home one to Manchester and the other to Liverpool. Knowing the number of steps at ton Tube Station. my friend and I decided we must. of course see them safely through we were on our way home after a weeks hard work so we each took one of these poor boys and supported them down the three nights to the lift. then up the long flight to the L.

and NW station. where they were at all events on level ground. They were so pathetically grateful for this trivial service mere boys and oh I so plucky and so cheery it made ones heart ache. but surely there must1 be hundreds of leisured women who would be only too glad to take these poor maimed heroes to the station from the hospital and see them safely and comfortably into the train instead of allowing them to get there as best they can. I do not know what hospital these two boys came from.

but I cannot say how dreadfully. it hurt us to think they should hue this additional suffering after they had already gone through to much. Yours faithfully. December 4. 31.

A VISIT TO. A GREAT SHOP. Throughout Fnaee many thousands of French women re working at- munitions women of all ages between 18 and GO sad almost without exception women ot the people. They are animated in the first degree by. that spirit of patriotism which makes them want to take their share in the winning of the war and again they are attracted by the material advantages which making brings with it.

Many who in the first months or the war were obliged to accept charity to work in ouvroirt at charity rates. or to face probable starvation. have found unexpected Wealth' in too munition factories. The minimum wage is 4s. 24.

a day. the maximum lOs. 6d. and the amount earned depends on individual effort for almost all are paid at work rates. Let us visit one of the largest munitioQ works in France.

The precinct are closely guarded and even when you have passed to the inner courts and a little card inscribed with your name and the reason for your presence has been attached to your buttonhole after the manner of an admission card to the paddock at Ascot or Longchamp. you are liable to be challenged and your guide. has to answer for you to the heads of the different departments. THE SCENE WUHW Broad avenues lead from one immense workshop to another and the sound of the grinding in them is never low. night or day.

They receive 75 shells and shells of 155 the rough. to be finished tested packed and sent off in unthinkable numbers Pr day. And it is just that process of finishing and testing which. tot BO important and is being done to such a large extent by women under the supervision of skilled men. Here the many parts.

which make up the shell fuse are finished put together tested. filled tested again. then packed and sent off to the Front. To realize what this means in exactitude concentration nod deftness you must see the process in execution and. as you watch the women at work with bent heads steady eyes and fingers that fly you realize a little what sustained effort at such work must mean.

Not only does every woman among them know that the fore. woman will report. the slightest. negligence and bring down on her the reprimand of the manager but she also knows that. any mistake on her part no matter how small may mean death her own men and escape for the enemy.

With' this thought to steady their eyes and speed their fingers the women who work in munitions have little need of stronger incentive to work well. The women in the making department work under particularly admirable conditions thanks to the forethought and clever organiza. tion of the manager under. whose instructions the buildings were erected. There is light ventilation.

every possible precaution against fie and that perfection in the smallest detail which is necessary for the safety of the workers and for the faultlessness of the work they turn out. The women who undertake the most dangerous tasks are isolated and carefully watched. they are also fully warned as to the nature of the work before they are allowed to undertake it. THE BY AND CAUTIEN. A separate group of buildings is given up to the infirmary where doctors and nurses are always in attendance.

and tact and firmness are necessary for dealing with real and imaginary ills. At the moment of our visit a pleasant-faced nurse was persuading a woman that she did not need a rubber finger to protect a finger that had neven shown any signs of being injured and the woman was obviously disillusioned as to the. use of an infirmary. In another group of buildings is the canteen kitchens and dining rooms with white-capped cooks and energetic women busy preparing the mid-day meal. Long oilcloth-covered tables were set reedy with bottles of wine water and bread at intervals.

Side tables were arranged with dishes of fruit. cheese. and biscuits awl from the kitchen came fragrant appetizing odours. Written large on slate WM the days menu- a fixed price of Is. 3d.

for a meal of three courses and a series of dishes for choice at different rates. In a room with long empty tables and a sideboard fitted with heaters women can take their own food and heat it fret of charge. In these great workshops the scene is impressive. The noise is deafening and the oily black. ness of everything is contrary to all feminine taste.

You see a splendid young woman working a machine which needs great physical strength. a sure and steady eye and a hand that' never falters. if the machine is to yield its full complement of shells in the daj. Watch her. sfrjs our uido.

she never stops her machine and she works 101 hours a thy. The woman smiled at us when we left in recognition of a well-earned compliment. In the 10 hours she earns something like 129. and it is literally by the sweat of her brow. There are many such women working for their country to-day.

The trice that the women are paying for their patriotism is not a light one for their homes inevitably suffer by their absence. Their children are left to the care of a neighbour or they are sent to a a and not all provincial women am morn reconciled to the mcAe than their husbands to the hospital. The unusual abundance of money self-earned gives the women of the towns plenty to spend. The economy of the peasants is not practised by them. and life is much more expensive since the war.

On the other hand. they are not forced i to pay their rent and they receive the State grant of Is. Id. a. day each.

with M. for every child. This means an average daily income of fig. to Se. a day a condition of prosperity such as they never knew before the war and are not likely to know when the war is over.

announces the death of the' Dowager Grand Duchess. Augusta Caroline of Mecklenburg. StreliU Princess of Great Britain and Ireland and of Hanover at Neu Strelitz. She was the grandmother of the reigning Grand Puke. A grand-daughter of George III.

and sbterot the Duke of Cambridge and of Queen Mary's mother the late Duchess of Tech the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. who had attained the age 93 was a great lady of a past era. Irtneeas Augusta of Cambridge wa born in IS. and was therefore a girl of 1 i when Queen Victoria came to the Throne. At the age of 0 he married.

at Buckingham Palace her first cousin the Grand Duke of Stzelitz. who died in 1904. After her marriage Strelits was her home but. English she maintained throughout her life her English interests and aflec- tiorL During the lifetime of her mother. the first Duchess of Cambridge who died in 1850 she frequently visited the apartment in Kensington Palace assigned to herby Queen Victoria and afterwards took a house in gate where she spent some time every year.

until. to her great regret advancing years prohibited the long journey from StZeIItL On her 90th birthday in 19l2ber English friends Joined together and sent her a present which caused her the keenest pleasure but she was even more deeply touched by the receipt of a congratulatory telegram sent by the Lord Mayor on behalf of hImself and the citizens of London. The Queen and Princ Mary visited the Dowager Grand Duchess at Net Strelita in August. 1912 a month after her Royal Highness' I GOth birthday. In May of the following year both the King and Queen visited her Royal Higluwus.

The loss of all the English friends of her own generation did not prevent her from keeping up a cheerful and contented correspondence-and and she was an admirable writer with a large circle of English acquaint ances until the coming of. the war made not only meetings but. unrestricted letters linposrible. The Grand Duchess had many characteristics of the great ladies of her era keen interest and strongly conservative views in politics both English and German shrewdness in reading character quick- ness in forming judgments frankness in expressing them and tenacity in maintaining them loyalty to friends whether great or humble. A marted gift was her extraordinarily retentive memory.

She was often consulted on matters of etiquette and paztlcu- i larly at the time of the Coronation of King Edward. when she was able to supply many details of Queen Victoria's Coronation of which no record had been kept. She was held in great veneration and affection by the Royal Family of England and to no one will her loss bring greater grief than to Queen Mary whom the Grand Duchess held in the fondest regard.
