Royall Ontario Museum are so varied: that there is something of interest' for' everyone, We can even make an al- most perfect score with the list—shoes- and ships and sealing-wax, and cab-. bages and kings. There are shoes of all sizes and shapes, and from many . periods and countries, in the costtime collection, and there are model ships for those that have a nautical turn of mind. Sealing-wax is less obvious, but there is plenty of it on our old letters, and documents, We do have to cheat a hit when it comes to cabbages, for the best we can do are the cabbage. roses that are such a feature of the de- sign on many of the 19th century. chintzes. We could finish off the list triumphantly with lots of kings, but our choice is a pair made of the most exquisite, carved ivory and belonging to a set of Chinese chessmen recently put on exhibition in one of the furni- ture galleries.
