Exterior Chapel of Henry ".
Of the great civil war, and here for
many years did the revisers of the Old
and New Testaments hold their
monthly meetings.
At the time of coronation the
Jerusalem chamber springs into
prominence, for on the eve of the GER
emory the regalia are conveyed here
by mounted escort and placed in
the custody of the dean and chapter,
while during the night and until the
ceremony is ready to take place they
are watched over by the yeomen Of
the guard in their picturesque cos
tunes.
AS we leave the Jerusalem chamber
we make sharp turn to the right
through another doorway, also part OF
the Abbot's Place and originally used
apparently as state dining room. 1t
is now known as the College hall.
for here the forty resident scholars of
Westminster school have their meals
day by day. In architecture 1t closely
resembles the Jerusalem chamber, as,
indeed, is only natural, seeing that it
is the work of the same hand but it
contains things of interest of a later
date, notably a beautiful Elizabethan
minstrel gallery at one end and two
or more massive tables which are ira
ditionally believed to have been
carved out of a portion of the wreck
age of the Invincible Armada.

history serves to show that the dean
of Westminster has inherited large
number Of privileges and characters
tics of his ecclesiastical ancestor, the
abbot.
We pass inside little quadrangle
known as the abbot's courtyard and up
flight of stone steps. The door
opens and we see passage in front of
us and two other doors to the left
and right. The first of these leads
directly into the abbey, and that on
the right into the deanery, so that is
is possible for the dean Of Westmin-
ster, if he so wills, to attend divine
service under cover all the way and
without even changing his slippers.
The doorway to the left leads i'm

from this column there spring a num-

No end of treasure was surreptitious-

hand of "the greatest of the Planta-

alike, with the result that no less than
forty-eight of them were arrested and
confined on suspicion in the Tower Of
London.
The crypt ceases to have any special

it has been employed for any specific

From Jericho it is but short cry to

Jerusalem chamber, the state drawing

Anything more exquisitely beauti-

Until you get to the top of the long

around the building, it is impossible
for you to have an adequate concep-
tion of the immense size of the church
When you are once safely in the tri-
forum you find yourself in gallery

than that of many street.

Another day was consumed and the

of Elizabeth j. Holt Christian to AL
bert Christian. The defending husband
occupied the stand most of the day.
He told in direct examination all about
his courtship and marriage, together
with some of his married experiences.
His father-in-law was represented as
greatly pleased at the prospect of his
daughters marriage, especially as it
would take her from the custody and
control of the Kentwelrs. On the trip
downtown to get the marriage license
the prospective groom insisted that the
girls father must be sober until after
he gave the bride away. Hence, al
