Since King, George ascended the throne Queen Mary has purchased various objects of antique art, varying from old colored prints,, to Chippendale chairs that cost her well under $10j- 000. These pMr bases to,day are worth $75,000, partly -owing to the general rise In Prices, but even if there had been no such increase the Queen's Pur. chases would have been worth at least three times the price she paid for them, for she is as good 4 judge of the value of old furniture and other an. tiques as any dealer In England and can buy as cheaply as any. The late Sir Guy Laking, a member of the celebrated firm of Christie's Who hold the office of King's armorer, once told Her Majesty that It ever there wits a revolution In England and the King lost his throne and fortune lie would pay her $15,000 a year to ap- Praise for his firm. The Queen a few months ago de- cided to turn her talents to account and to start fix business as a dealer in antiques. Of course she could not do so opeu- ly, but that fact does not greatly ham- per her. She does all her own, buying slid settles herself the pilqe at which each article Is to be sold, She acquired the lease, stock, and good Nylll of a dealer in Windsor.' It came to her knowledge that the dealer was in financial difficulties and was about to sell his busines&. She sent Miss Shirley, her retired dresser, to negotiate the deal, Miss Shirley went,to the dealer, told blin she had heard he wanted to sell !its bitsiluess, asked him what he want. ad for it, and stated that She wanted, to buy. "I want $15,000," said the dealer. The dresser clinched the bargain then and there by paying $5000 in cash as a deposit, and two days later the business Passed into the hands of Queen Mary. Her majesty arranged to keep the dealer as her manager at a salary of $25 a week -Plus 2Y2 per cent, commission on sales and to continue to run the business In his name, A -Veritable Gold Mine. Sin,m she purchased the business Queen Mary has actually sold the stock she purchased for $5,000 more than she paid for the whole business, including the good will and lease. Her Majesty recommends the shop to all her wealthy friends, and her re. commendation Is making the shop a Veritable gold mine. row people know tile Queen is the owner of it, but, even If by this time scireril people aTe beginning to sas. peet silo is, the fact attracts them to buy there rather than deters them f rom doing so. Her Majesty -visits her shop almost dqily when at Windsor. This excites no comment among the townfolk, be. cause Queen Mary has been a regulai Patron of the shop for several years and nothing woald make them believe that the Queen has be -come the ownex of it. One of her recent purchases was sb Louis XV. drawing -room chairs. She picked them up at an Inn In the Nev Forest for $325, and a week later sold them for $1,250. For the most part the Queen buys either from people Who are not aware of her Identity or who, if,they, were, Would have no hesitation in.declining her offer if it was not satisfactory to them, Her Majesty. reckons to make $35e 000 Out at the business this year. But 6110 Is looking forward to making niuch More than that; her object is to make $125,000 a year, and she hopes to be able to do that In two or three Years' time. In Pre-war days that was the sum that. tile Xing Was able to Invest each Year after weeiting all expenses. Since 1917 His Majesty has not been able to save a, penny. It is the Queen's Object to establIsh'a business that will enable 1101- to put by every year the Same kum as the King was able to Gave in Pre-war days. .6— He Knew.
