LUXOR, Egypt, March 15.—Some
little while back I referred to the
work in the laboratory as being of
the nature of a constant voyage of
discovery since, in consequence of
the manner in which the dynastic
robbers and the necropolis inspectors
had jumbled up the contests of the
■various caskets and objects in Tut
ankhamen's tomb, not only was there
uncertainty as to what might be in
them, but investigation possibly
might disclose unanticipated treas
ures.
Wc have since had many illustra
tions of this. The latest is the golden
casket which was removed from the
ante-chamber just two months ago.
Although this was regarded as an im
portant object, the experts have only
been able to deal with it in the past
week, which is in itself an indication
of the pressure under which they have
had to work.
Wonderful Piece of Work.
This casket, which is a wonderful
piece of work, witli a cornice and a
torus molding of gilded wood, is in
laid with faience giving the names of
the king. It was uncovered when
found, and so far as could be seen
.ontained a priest's robe, some faience
necklaces, some solid gold filigree
bucklers and a tine fabric in a perish
able condition.
The priest’s robe was made of
eopard skin, with a leopard's head
xnd an inlaid gold buckle. It was. ■
however, in such a bad condition that
«t the time it could not be moved
•»side in order to ascertain what the
•■asktt really contained. It lias only
now been possible to see what* is
'n it.
King's Kings Tied I p.
The first object to be found was a
parcel of the king's rings tied up in
some linen. They are ail signet rings
of solid gold, exquisitely engraved,
some of the bezels having scenes
with the gods and the king in minia- |

Two Hemispheres
One In
Langham High Clothes
As the twig is bent the tree inclines, is a proverb to
remember in buying that young man’s first long
trousers suit.
So much is at stake.
In his own opinion he has now become a man, although he
does not reach man’s estate until a few years later.
It would be a pity if any of us ever grew so old or became so
indifferent as to forget this critical period of adolescence.
j He is nothing if not hypersensitive.
Clothes are perhaps his first consideration, and the other hemis
phere-girls, his next thought—maybe both are inextricably bound
up in his mental complexes!
Is there any question that his clothes should be good in the full
est meaning of that tvord?
i
Good in looks—Perfect in fit —
Style all the while
Above all, of such quality in fabric and craftsmanship in tai
loring that these attributes will hold and serve throughout the
long life of his first long-trousers suit.
| What assurance such clothes will lend him!
What elan and spirit as he plunges into a new career, a young
man among men!
We submit to the parents of Washington that in Langham High
Suits they will find the very best for their boys—tailoring, fabric,
style—this very best being none too good for them!
