THE PRINCE’S HOME
MARLBOROUGH HOUSE ALTERATIONS NEARLY COMPLETED. Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright LONDON, November 8. Simplicity dominates the a I rerations to Marlborough House, which is expected to be ready lor the residence of the Prince of Wales by Christmas. The entrance opens into a saloon rising the full height of the house, decorated with gold and green, and magnificently lighted by a. Wren dome. The suite of eight rooms on the first iloor is papered in white, the satin stripes throwing the walnut woodwork into relief. The stark severity of the smoking room is left as King Edward jokingly arranged it. Thousands of dummy books line the walls, completely hiding the doors, and all bearing faked titles, such as ‘Nine Tails, by a Cat.’.—A. and N.Z. and ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
