Another Old English Castle

It is supposed to be almost summer here, but I am inclined to doubt. It is more like fall—chilly as the very devil I have certainly appreciated the sweater and the hose that Mrs. Armstrong made for me. I am the envy of my barracks. I now have close to a dozen pair of good wool hose, and it certainly is a satisfaction. I change them daily, and wash them out myself. I wouldn’t dare send them to the laundry, for two reasons, i.e., they probably would not come back, and further, if they did they would most likely be ruined after one such washing. Took a very interesting motor trip the other day, visiting Apethorpe Castle and the site of Fotheringhay Castle, where Mary of Scots was executed. There is nothing of the latter to see, except the site, and one small lump of masonry, carefully enclosed in an iron fence (like Plymouth Rock), which resembles nothing so much as a huge clinker. The castle itself was razed by order

of James I, Mary’s son, after he ascended the throne. Apethorpe is really not a castle so much as a pleasure palace. It is an enormous, rambling place, with enormous gardens. The gardens at present are in very poor shape, since they have no one to tend them. The house dates from about the 15th century, but of course has been added to from time to time, and not always in the same style of architecture, with the result that some views of it are rather ugly. The owners are now living in a portion of one wing, and the rest of the place is taken over by some Czech soldiery, who 'have been there for some time, and were preceded by British. The Czechs have treated the house very roughly, and Lady Brassie was incensed at their actions. She confined most of her conversation to the atrocities they had committed to the property, and also to a tale concerning the theft of a large amount of their

furnishings they bad stored in a few of the rooms. Except for the rooms they are occupying, they stripped the house, storing all their paintings, carpets, tapestries and furniture in a few large yooma, and one of the Czechs broke into one of these* rooms and removed a number of paintings, carpets, tapestries, etc., giving some of the things to his fiance, and hiding the rest in a little cubbyhole in the attic, looking forward to taking them away when the moment was propitious. However, he was caught and the things restored to the Brassies. Lord Brassie was a very nice old fellow, and made every effort to entertain us. He had traveled in the States a good bit and regaled us with stories of the trips over there, and the people he had met over there. He was very proud of his acquaintance with Ethel Colt Barrymore—at that time (about 1905) she was younger and quite the belle.

The house, because it was unfurnished for the most part, was not as interesting as Rockingham, but before it was dismantled it must have been much more impressive. We got to see the storerooms where the furniture, etc., was put away, and there were some beautiful things. The tapestries were priceless—huge Aubussons covering whole walls. Lady Brassie carefully pointed out to me the stories told by each, and lamented my woeful lack of knowledge of the Bible (the tapestries were based upon stories from the Old Testament). The old dining hall was a beautiful room—panelled in deaf and with a beamed ceiling (carved beams), with a muscian’s gallery at one end. It is now used as a chapel. The village church is

quite old, and the roof 'has been declared unsafe, so the dining hall of the manse is used as a church. The Brassies put one of their paintings over the altar, a beautiful Madonna by Correggio (not very large, but worth a fortune). The old gallery, a room about 120 feet by 30 feet, is now used as a dormitory or barracks by the Czechs. It is a beautiful room, but they certainly have ruined it Last winter they put in stoves by the dozen (I certainly can’t blame them for that, knowing what horrors these winters are) but of course it didn’t' do the place much

LOOKING AHEAD

DURING my boyhood 1 knew one slave-time Negro, a picturesque character born 50 years, you might say, after his time. It was said of him that, with solemn ritual, he named one of his seldom - used pockets Tkt iFsrtf. Promptly then he had his wife sew up the empty pocket. After that, when a fellow worker asked him for a ehew of tobacco he could say truthfully, “J ain’t got a bit’a chewin’ in Tht H'arlJ." This is not a pointless story. It describes an interesting philosophy, now in use, notably by the Office of Price Administration. When the powers of this bureau find it impossible to stabilize a price (as they sometimes do) thby promptly sew up the outlet with a so-called “line limitation,” shift the trade to another store with fancier prices and call it a deterioration of quality; not a price boost—never! The Price IT’S UNCANNY, of Nothing People pay more for what they get although prices stay the same at all points of sale. Just consider the case of Mrs. Effie Stone, proprietress of Effie’s Store Inc. Nobody has ever called Effie a atadirtr. She runs a sort of general store at the edge of a farming town and stocks some apparel, everyday wear for farm women. Woolen skirts at $4 and ladies’ suits at S2O are for Effie’s quality trade. But now the store is out of woolen skirts entirely. Effie can buy them at about $4.50 wholesale, and- could sell them for $6 and show a profit but it’s not. legal if OPA rules are law. The trouble is that Effie sold no skirts

above $4 for several years, including the months that OPA has since designated as a “base period.” By doing this she fixed her own ceiling price. Rulo No. 350 caught her. Business NOBODY is footed. Migrates Effie’s highest allowable price for skirts is $4 and she can’t get any more $4 skirts to sell. Her customers would pay more, in fact they ere paying more. They still like toe kind of clothes they wore during the famous “base period.” But they are buying elsewhere, paying $8.50 for skirts in shops jest opening; that have no “base period,” or in big stores with higher “ceilings” upheld by mors costly lines. The sport skirts Effie used to sell at $4, the very same brand; can be sold legally by Ye Smart Shoppe at higher prices than they’d dare name if Effie was stm a competitor. But Effie is out She has lost her skirt business and her suit line is just ready to die the same death. She is not alone either. She has shopped around a bit and found dealers in other lines tangled up in the same red tape. Choking competition does not help Mr. and Mrs. Consumer. Es. lie’s prices have not advanced, neither are her prices higher, but the cost of living climbs just the same. Price Administrator Bowles has called quality deterioration a national scandal, and I believe he has something there but time art indications that the fault may be with regulations which we are glad to believe OPA is. taking steps to correct.
