And do the gorgeous pear! clusters wherbwith the proud Catherine used to grace her powdered hair repose be- hind the battleship stee] doors of some subterranean treasure house within , sound of lower Broadway's treffic? The spirit of romance trembles over the answers to these questions, which may be given to-day or to-morrow in @ prosaic courtroom of prosy Hoboken. If it has not already been done, some day soon a key will turn tn a lock somewhere down in a atee] room and either a flood of gem light will be reflected from the shining walls or a pretty bubble blown by ro- mance weavers will be pricked. A far cry from the treasure room of a Cear’s palace in Petrograd to « strong room in New York. Yes, but @ further cry to Hoboken! But so the capricious genius of romance delights to order contrasts.
