which belonged to Marie Antoinette, In
the red drawing room are rare speci-
mens of Limonsin enamels, also Bohe- |
mian glass anil Venetian crystals. This
room leads to the cedar drawing room,
{ whose walls are 10 feet -in thickness.
One of the many valuable and beautiful
ornaments in this room is a bast of
Proserpine, by our American sculptor
Power.
The * living rooms’ of the castle ex-
tend 230 feet in length, and each win-
dow gives charming views of the
gronnds. In one of these rooms, the
gilt drawing room, is a Florentine mo-
gaic table, enriched with precions stones,
bronght from the Grimani palace in
Venice. Its value is £10,000, which,
please remember, is £30,000 of Yankee
monday. The Grimani arms, the pope's
triple crown, lion of St. Mark, doge’s
cap, keys of St. Peter and cardinal’s
bat are illustrated in jasper, onyx, am-
ethyst, malachite and cornelian on its
surface,
A moment after leaving the gilt draw- |
ing room and we are in the state bed-
room, where good Queen Anne slept,
and in which her big dreary looking
bed still stands. We don’t seem to know
much about Queen Anne's belongings,
thus her bed and traveling trunks at its
foot aronse our interest. In these trunks
were her majesty’s clothes. They are
sensible, ponderous tranks, covered with
brown leather and studded with brass
nails. Even an American baggage
| smashing porter would have found
Queen Anne's trunks ‘too large an or-
der’ to destroy. George III presented
this bedstead, with its faded crimson
curtaing and its 13 feet high posts. Over
the firaplace hangs a fine portrait of the
queen herself painted by Sir Godfrey
Kneller. It is in this state bedroom
that Queen Victoria slept when she
visited Warwick castle with the late
prince consort, . I don’t know whether
she occopied Anne's bed, bat if so |
bope it was more comfortable than it
looks. J
From the bedroom isa ‘boudoir, lit-
erally cramomed with paintings. Here
is Holbein's. Henry VIII;” **A Boar
Hunt,’' by Rabens; ‘A Dead Christ,”
on copper, by a follower of Correggio;
Charlies Il's Beauties,’’ by Lely; a
**San Sebastian,’ by Vandyke; ''Card

Rosa landscape. : :
The castle's state dining room was
burned out in 1871, but it has been re-
produced on the old lires and is a truly
royal apartinent. On either side of the
massive fireplace, whers many a Yule
log fms slowly buried itself out to white
ashes, there are gilt Vepetian figures.
Above the fireplace ‘hangs Ruben's
sketch of lions, There is also in this
room a droll portrait of George Ill in
the arms of his mother.
The castle boasts a Shakespeare room,
designed and added by the late earl,
and to which the county of Warwick
presented the Kenilworth buffet in an-
lected all procarable Shakespeare rel-
ics, and resting on an old claw footed
ocak table are all the works, with the
admirable edition of Shakespeare of .
the late Halliwell Phillipps.
The place has been called the castle
of the kingmaker. Who can visit this
historic house and not desire to reread
