Notice also the fire-dogs. The recessed window commands a lovely view. After a period of disarrangement extending over several years, the famous Gobelin tapestries of Haddon Hall are complete again. They are specially cared for by the Duchess of Rutland (Lady Victoria Manners has published a little book describing them), and the whole are now in excellent repair. The Earl's Bedchamber, which is entered from the drawing room, is tapestried with scenes from the hunting field. Beyond it is the Pag...e's Bedchamber, chiefly remarkable for the view from its window, including Dorothy Vernon's footbridge. Returning through the drawing room on to the landing, we mount by a flight of solid oak steps, made from the root of one tree, into the Ball Room or Long Gallery, the largest and most pleasing apartment of all. It measures 109 feet by 18, and has a recess half- way up it 15 feet by 18, with a glorious window. This room, too, is wainscoted with carved and inlaid oak. Over the fireplace is a large picture, copied from Rubens, of the " Presentation of the head of Cyrus to Tomyris, " the Scythian queen.
