CRAIGWEIL HOUSE TREASURES
THE LADY AND HER LIPSTICK.
An added interest to the eighty-eight rare glass pictures recently shown at a London gallery is the fact that a large number of them camo from Craigweil House, Bognor Regis. Sir Arthur du Crois is ono of the best known collectors, and the gems of his collection were in the apartments occupied by tho King and Queen last year. ... One of the most curious, a painting by a Chinese artist on a mirror of Louis XIV., of France, and his Queen, hung in the King's bedroom Among the Chinese paintings on glass, which were executed from back to front, with the detail painted in before the general outline, in the Queen's apartments was one that amused her very much —of a Chinese young lady at her toilet. Although tho date of this picture is about 1730, the young lady is wielding a lipstick.
