william Morris a. . Socialist.

MI. Joseph Pennell, writing in she
London Daily Chronicle, records the fol
lowing incident: l remember seeing
walking up Parliament street. A meet
ing was being held in the square. NOW
forget entirely what it was about, but
the people holding it had made up their
minds to march to Westminster abbey,
with q vague idea probably that when
they got there they might do something.
Suddenly an enormous crowd began to
pour out Of the square down Parliament
street-a black, solid, muddy mass. for
it was a wet, wintry day. On they came,
with a sort of irresistible force, which
really frightened one looking on as u
spectator. And right in front-among
the red flags, singing with all his might
1.-THE MISUNDERSTANDING William Nor
ris. He had the face Of u crusader, and
he marched with that big stick Of his as
the crusaders must have marched.
One turned round and went with the
crowd, which, when it got to the abbey,
seemed half inclined to smash the win
dows, but those at the head Of it were
switched off and passed into Poets cor
ner, there to sit down and be preached
to. while the others. who could not get
in, were addressed by Canon Rawlin-
son outside. But what was 80 curious
was to find this artist-like another
Oourbet-leading q crowd who really
did not know what they wanted to do.
However, had this crowd determined to
destroy, to tear down even q stone Of
the abbey or to break u window, l think,
instead of William Morris leading them
step farther, that they would only
have taken that step over his body. I
am not 80 sure what would have hap
pened had the crowd marched against
st. Paul's. for Morris hated the one sort
Of work a. much as he loved the other.
