THE PRINCE'S CHINTZ
Chintz has been rather out of fashion for a number of years, at least that glazed chintz of the mid-Victorian age; yet America loves it, and thousands of yards are sent across to the United States every year, says a writer in the "News-Chronicle." Now it is likely to have a revival in England, for tho Prince of Wales has, I hear, ehosien glazed chintzes for nearly all the ground-floor rooms of Fort Belvedere, his Sunningdale home. Patterns in the old days were queer; great families had their own, and a very popular chintz was one patterned with tho Prince Coasort mounted on a .fiery steed and waving his hand to an imaginary Queen Victoria. Perhaps someone will invent a pattern typifying the modem craze for flying for the Prince.
