VICTORIAN ITEMS
To-the exhibits -of the Eoyal Room in Lancaster House has been added a little Highland jacket of black velvet, worn by King Edward XII., when he was a- child of three (states a■■ London writer).. It has many silver buttons, and its little epaulettes, cuffs, and tails are trimmed with silver braid. The tartan kilt with- sporran was already in the-; museum,, so the jacket completes the costume. •
The Victorians were very fond of chintz covers commemorating great events, and their descendants are finding very amusing chintzes depicting the Prince Consort—a dashing, slim figure on a horse—in uniform amid blue, red, and white'flowers. '
All the victories of Kelson are brought into ■ the design of another chintz,'; and a Rosa Bonheur sketch of horses :is' still;being sold for curtains and covers.
