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. But that |

The birth of the future mikado,

Death of Writer Recalls
“Tut” Superstition.
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

Dr. Maynard Owen Williams, who, as
for the National

with Mr. Welgall, tells of the many

“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. Nev
