QUEERING THE PITCH

(Special Air Mall Service) «

* London, July 2.

Some good stories of the little ways of great art dealers are told by Lady Mend in her reminis- cences, published "under the title. of "After All.”.

One of them is about the Belvoir tapestries, which some 25 years ago the Duke and Duchess of Rut- land thought of selling when the late Mr. J. P. Morgan was known to be "in the market."

They sent for a very well-known. London dealer to value them. He came and was enraptured.

"Ah, Duchess,” he said, "there is nothing like them in the world. I wish I could buy them myself. I have so many I cannot buy any more. Don't let them go cheaply. They are worth $1,000,000 at least."

In due course Mr. Morgan came
