LOUIS XIV BATH
AS ART OBJECT
PARIS (UP) Th 263-yeAr-old
marble bathtub of King LouU XIV
fcu bMD bought by the ministry of
tine arts and returned to the palace
at Vera-iilea.
Originally installed In the palace In
1T73 Then the monarch waa 33. ihe
bath cost 9,000 pounds an enormoui
amount In those days according to
record carefully kept at Versailles
throughout generations. The bath la
made from a single block of marble,
xeddlsh violet In tone and veined with
creamy white. Octagonal In shape.
the bath weighs 10 tons and It mess
tires 10 feet 0 Inches across. To aid
the royal bather, four little steps and
a ledge were cut from the Inside of
the tub.
At the top of the steps were two
holes through which the water was
piped. It la believed these holes orig
inally were covered by bronae or gMd
dolphins' heads In the style of that
period, but these ornaments have dia
apepared. '
When Louis XIV died In 1713, the
bathrooms at the palace were rear
ranged. This marble tub waa not
moved because of Its great weight,
but was filled with sand and left un
der a floor. In 1750 there were more
alterations at the palace, and when
the floor was taken up the tub was
discovered. Louis XV, great grandson
of Louis Xrv, presented the m&xtile
tub to his favorite, Mme. de Pompa
dour, who had it removed to the
Ermltage, her country house. At this
time it was placed In the midrt of an
ornamental flower garden.
It la not known what became of,
the marble bath after the death of
Wme. de Pompadour, but some time
later It came Into the possession of
Anne-Pierre de Mbntesquiou, French
man of letters, who lived at the Paris
suburb, Le Veslnet. Many years later,
still at Le Vestnet, it was found on
the estate of the Countess Caeatl.

Hints To Gardeners

Flotcer Expert
Ferry Seed IntUtuie
For Early Flowem
EARLIER blooming of some of thi
popular garden flowers may b
obtained by planting them indoor,
about six weeks before they are to
be set out In the open. They should
be placed outdoors, of course, only
after the ground has warmed and
all danger of frost la past
A few of the flowers which may
lie planted early indoors include the
Delphinium, pink, gaillardia, lobelia,
. myosotis, pansy, Iceland poppy,
salvia, stock and verbena.
The following may be planted In-'
floors a week or two later: Ager
atum, snapdragon, aster, dahlia,
nicotians, petunia, phlox drum
mondi, salpiglossis, scablosa and
vinca rosea.
Seed of these flowers may be ob
tained at your corner store at a
sufficiently early date to allow yon
to give them an Inside start.
Seed of other favorites, - which
may be procured at the same time
but wbicb should be saved for later,
outside planting, include the sweet
alyssum, calendula, calliopsis, candy
tuft, tour o'clock, marigold and nas
turtium. These are earlier - and
faster growing than the others.
' For the inside planting, fill a'
cigar box or florist's '"flat" with
good, rich loam, covering the seeds
with a thin sprinkling of soil. The
boxes should have small holes
(about quarter-Inch in diameter) In
the bottom so they may be set In
water and the soil moistened by
absorption.
It the small plants are too thick,'
some should be picked out The
boxes should be placed In a sunny
window and kept at a temperature
of around 70 degrees.
If desired, the small plants may
be transplanted to pots or other
larger containers. Before setting
outdoors they should be "hardened
off," placed-outdoors In the shads
six or eight mild days.
