He informed Denon, the conservator, of 
his conclusion. Seeing the Duke’s reso¬ 
lution, the Government yielded, and the 
pictures were restored to the King of the 
Netherlands. The employment of the 
allied troops was restricted to the taking 
down and packing by a few soldiers. 
England’s interference was entirely dis¬ 
interested. Louis XVIII having said 
the right to the pictures was of the most 
sacred kind, they could not be obtained 
peacefully, and many a commander in 
Wellington’s position would have in¬ 
flicted chastisement for the delay in 
returning the stolen property.— 
The Architect. 
SIGNING BUILDINGS 
E have before referred to the occa¬ 
sional practicein Paris of inscrib¬ 
ing the architect’s name on a building. 
It may be of interest to notice that the 
Belgian architects have now practically 
one and all adopted the custom of in¬ 
scribing their names on buildings exe¬ 
cuted from their designs. The position 
selected for the name is generally at the 
right-hand corner of the main front, the 
lettering, as a rule, being in small capi¬ 
tals, and by no means arranged in such a 
manner as to look like an advertisement. 
We understand that this custom was 
first initiated by some of the younger 
members of the profession, but with the 
increasing public interest in architectural 
matters—an interest which has been so 
carefully fostered by the representative 
societies of Belgian architects—there has 
actually been a demand on the part of 
the general public to have the name of 
the author of a design as easily available 
as is the case with a painting or a piece 
of sculpture. Of course, there have 
been a few black sheep in the profession 
who attempted to utilize the new custom 
for advertising purposes, but, fortunately 
both the Belgian authorities and the 
public appear to be able to discriminate 
between the so-called “signature” and 
the mere affiche. There is one pecu¬ 
liarity in connection with the custom, 
and that is, that the architect’s name is 
rarely to be found on bad work, and we 
have even noticed one or two buildings, 
which look like those of a beginner, 
where the name has been on, but has 
subsequently been erased. A leading 
Belgian architect only lately remarked 
that the “signing” should be compulsory 
for all architects. I he bad designer 
Country Clubs 
A series of illustrated articles of the 
leading Country Clubs throughout 
the United States and England. The 
history of each club will be embod¬ 
ied in the descriptive text, and much 
that is characteristic and individual 
of the environment and climatic con- 
ditions'will be illustrated. The arch¬ 
itecture, beautiful landscape effects, 
and the different methods of indoor 
arrangements shown in this series 
will be invaluable to those who 
intend to remodel their own clubs, 
or to erect others, and particularly 
to every member of the clubs illus¬ 
trated. New and beautiful photo¬ 
graphs of the interior and grounds 
of each club will illustrate the arti¬ 
cles. This series is the only one in 
existence which has ever taken up 
seriously the country club, its beauty 
and its usefulness. 
Each member should have an 
especial pride and interest in the 
article which describes his own club 
and should have a copy to preserve 
it. The first club illustrated in this 
series was the Germantown Cricket 
Club, Philadelphia, March, 1907.
