~ V ROLE HT YOU WERE A ee, i — T IS interesting to note that the vogue for ultra-modernistic furniture is passing. This does not mean that i it is gone, nor that no more pieces will be made. Far from it, but that a new style of furniture is beginning to put fn Its appearance with no uncertain | sound, and as this style advances, what we have termed modern no longer will be the latest thing It will become a past vogue, and finally be old-fashioned. This Is the fate of all ronounced styles. The modernistie had a full-time run. While the vogue termed “modern” features simplicity of line, it is an austere simplicity, in which straight }ines and sharp angles are character istics. In it, is a grand gesture of eliminating curves.

Besides the glitter of the pro- cession, prayers were offered by mil- lions of Buddhists in gratitude that a mikado was at last born in the imperial household The present Mikado and his empress have four children, but they are all daugh- ters. Now that a son has been born to them, the one hundred million Jap- anese point proudly to the fact that he is to be the one hundred and twen- ty-fifth mikado. ' The birth of the future mikado, however, suggests several intensely interesting questions, What conditions of international relations will he face when he assumes the reign of power? How efficient will be his defensive warfare? Will his navy control the Pacific? How much additional terri- tory will Japan possess if her popu lation to increase at the present rate? She will need territory larger in area than by any possible stretch of the Imagination could be acquired.

Washinglon—The death in London of Arthur E P. B. Weigall, writer and Egsptologist, who entered the tomb of King Tut-Apkh-Amen shortly after it was opened in 1923, has recalled the superstition In regard to “Tut-Ankh Amen's curse,” believed by the cred- aluns to pursue those who had a part in uncovering the Pharaoh's resting place. A comnmunication the National Geographic society from Dr. Maynard Owen Williams, who, as for the National graphic Magazine, entered the tomb with Mr. Welgall, tells of the many persons who have gone into the Tut Ankh-Amen burial chamber, hewn from the limestone cliffs hear Luxor, Egy. last to correspondent (yoo Tourists View Chamber. “The official opening of the chamber was on February 18, 1023, writes Doctor Williams “Prior to that time, probably a dozen workers and supervisors had been in and out of the chamber containing the king's mummy. though none of them then knew that the shrines, sarcophagus and rich coffins had actually survived 33 centuries of grave robberies. On the 16th a score of Egyptian officials vis ited the tomb, and on the 17th a party of about ten Egyptologists ent ered. On the day of the official opening the queen of the Belgians was the honor guest, and went in with a group of about a dozen companions and offi cials. On the following day nine for elgn correspondents were admitted, tneluding Mr. Weigall and myself. “aon after this the tomb was tem- porarily closed; but after the art ob jects had been removed and protected, the tomb with Its sarcophagus and mummy was opened for visits by the public. Probably 100,000 visitors in all have entered the tomb. Twelve thousand visited it during two months in 1920. “The finding of Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb became world news Thousands of columns of newspaper space were devoted to It In every country.
