Handsome Window.
Without doubt the most elaborate and also
the finest stained glass window yet put up in
Washington is one placed in All Souls Church
recently by Judge Richardson, of the Court of
Claims, in loving remembrance of his wife, who,
it will be remembered, died i'm Paris several years
ago. while on a tour of information and pleasure
around the world.
The window. which is Gothic in form, is di-
vided, below the base Of the pointed arch, into
two sections of equal size for purposes of illus
tratiOn, which is scriptural in character and
treated throughout in style suitable to the
subject. The upper section represents Martha
going out to meet our Lord after the death of
Lazarus Christ stands clothed in light gray
under-rObe, with outer mantle of deep crimson
his head encirced by an aureOle of pale purple
Martha wears light gray Golf, surrounded by a
rich golden aureOle, and mantle of yellow.
Over the figure of Christ runs His assuring
words, 81 am the resurrection and the life;
beneath is Martha's half reproachfnl appeal:
'LOrd, if Thou hadst been here my brother had
not died" The lower section shows Christ sit
ting in the house of Martha, with Mary kneeling
at his feet, while Martha stands by her side,
holding in her hand an oriental bowl To give
variety to the design and add richness to the
general effect the cOlOrs in this panel are ar
ranged differently from those above. Christ's
aureOle here is blue and his robe russet-lilac
gray. The aureOle of Martha is a shaded or
brOwnish yellow, while her robe is of richly en-
brOidered gray and gold stuff, with tight fitting
over-mantle, while the halo surround
ing her head is purplish red. Under
meath this picture are the words 'Mary hath
chosen that good part" Below all comes the
memorial inscription, in church text, as follows:
I'm memory of Anna NJ Richardson, wife of
March Is, 1885,
The figures are in each case dignified and
graceful, and while the faces are simply treated
in what might almost be called pre-Raphael-
lite style, the expression is natural and pleasing
and the whole effect much better and more ar
tistic than is usually seen in work of this class.
The borders and the dividing line between the
main sections are of a a conventional leaf design,
in suitable cOlOrs. The arch or point of the
window above the scriptural scene is well man
aged, being treated to represent the sub-arches
and towers Of an ecclesiastical Gothic temple.
dued in tone, and harmonious in effect,
and the work is in the highest degree apprO-
pirate and effective throughout. We are sorry
we cannot add that the window is the work of
American artists, but it is not. The designs
were furnished and the whole executed by
Messrs. Clayton Bell Of London. who had a
carte blanche commission. and, as they say. did
their best to justify it. We may add. as illus
trating this point, that they have since been en-
trusted with the charge of doing some similar
work for Westminster Abbey.
What the Patient Should Have.
To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Although 1 am intimately acquainted with
General Garfield, and equally so with three of
his attending surgeons, could not hope to
reach either of them, directly, with note whilst
the immense mail is pouring into them from the
multltudnOus suggesters. But know the sur
geons read THE STAR, and the President does
Also when permitted. &c. in your columns as
dn,dcuS nsedtcus, wish to say to my friends,
Bliss, Barnes, ct al that the best thing they can
do for their patient, at this juncture is to get
real fresh egg, Gone just drOpped) put the yolk
IN goblet OF ordinary size, add four teaspoons
| full OF granulated sugar, stir them well with an
egg mixer, add small quantity of fresh rich
milk, stir again; add one teaspOonful of the
best old COgadc brandy; stir well again: fill the
goblet with milk, and stir finally. Unlike most
decOcflons incidentally prescribed, this fluid is
not to be ''well shaken before taken"-but merely
stirred thor oughly; no frOth.
In this mixture you will discern, of course, a
tirst-class milk punch-with an egg in it, or a
good sized tender chicken in fluid form. Than
TINS there never was invented better thing to
build up and revive, instanter, one whose dag
nOsis is exactly that which fits General Garfelds
case. Given to him in single teaspoon doses
every ten minutes, he will become a new man
within twenty-fOur hours. And more: it will
beget him stomach which will crave, retain,
and assmilate the other needful nutritious ALI
ment.
If General Garfield had chance know he
would vote with me on my proposition. Please
try it, Messieurs Surgeons, thus benstitting the
INDUSTRIOUS patient, and gratifying another
