London Store Will Be Wonder

Shopping There Can Be Executed by Means of Wleeiess Telegraph From Bteamer. London.—Midocean shopping will be one of the features of the new "White* the foundation stone of which was laid in Queen’s rogd by the mayor of Paddington. The millionaire who is on his way to England from America this year will be able to fix the details, of his stay In this country from his saloon on the liner.'' * - A wireless message to Whlteley’s, and an estate will be Immediately purchased for him In town or country. Another message to the provision department and the house or castle will be stocked with provisions, while on his arrival a ten-course dinner will be prepared for him in his new home and an army of servants will be ready to wait on his every wish. The wonders of the new Whlteley*s will be sufficient to throw cold water on the feats of Aladdin and his magic lamp. And the romance of Whlteley’s Is as great ps any romance which may be found in the “Arabian Nights.” Prom a two-storied shop, whose provisions consisted of a few tons of biscuits and other grocery odds and ends, a giant store arose, and the giant store Is now to be a shopping palace large enough to contain two or three cathedrals. 'v r _ The new palace wiirbe for the rich and poor alike. The woman who wishes to purchase a pound of tea may take the air In the Italian garden on the root, where In summer deck chairs will be set beneath shady palms and facing flower gardens devised by horticultural artists. On an upper floor the shopper’s children will be provided with a sandy beach and buckbuckets and spades ahd nurses while their mother makes purchases < below. . The new Whlteley’s will have a ver-

satlle staff, who will cope with every little social difficulty, which faces their clients. Coming-of-age speeches will be provided at moderate prices. Country clients who do not know their way about town will be met at the station, conducted to Queen’s road and seen safely home again. These are a few of the wonders which will be placed before the public In a year’s time, when the single stone which was laid will have grown into the greatest store the world has ever known.
