Various Items of Fashionable Finery
Displayed in Costumes for
the Autumn.

The rapidly increasing circumference
of the skirt seems to point more and

Smart buttons, silver in many cases,
give a finish to linen coats.
Soft flannels, mouseslines, delaines,

The Ancient Chapel Of the Pyx
in Westminster Abbey Il II Il
1t Has an Interesting History Dating Back to 1903
Once the Kings Treasury


To begin at the beginning, it is quite
certain that, as part of the original
building of Edward the Confessor, 1t
was made over b. him to the monastery
that he founded; and we have unmistak-
able evidence that it was chapel before
it was treasury. 1t is equally certain
that all the buildings within the pre-
cincts Of the monastery passed, by the
grant of Queen Elizabeth, to the college
of deans and prebendaries which she
founded to take the place of Queen
Mary's regretted monastery. The terms
of the grant are explicit. They include:
"All that church and monastery Of st.
Peters Westminster lately dissolved, and
the whole site, circuit, and precinct there
of, all privileges and liberties and free
customs of the late dissolved monastery,
the whole church, and all the chapels, to-
gether with the leads, bells, cloisters and re-
fectories, bakehouses and Greenhouses,
granaries, and every thing else that was,
or was reputed to be, within the close and
precinct Of the late dissolved monastery"
If the Chapel of the PyX' had been
excepted from the grant, it would GER
tainly have been excepted in plain terms,
and the fact that it was in use as royal
treasury no more affected the title OF the
abbey to the property of it than the use
of Henry Wis chapel as royal mauso-
leum affected their title to that-a point

years later. The long parliament was
sitting, and the Cean and chapter of
Westminster were known to be in SYM
pathy with the king. Accordingly, to
prevent the regaia being removed, an
order of the house of commons was
made: That the dean, sub-dean, and
prebends be enjoined and required to de-
liver the keys of the treasury where the
regalia are kept; that they may search
that place, and report to the house what
they find there" On the next day an
order is made that the locks shall be
opened, and new locks set upon the
DOORS" At the restoration the new re-
gala were kept in the tower, and the
contents Of the treasury were reduced to
certain treaties, eXchequer tallies, and
the pyx or box containing the standard
coins of the realm; whence the familiar
name of the Chamber of the Pyx" But
the pyx has recently migrated to the
mint, and the empty treaty chests have
also been removed; so that the question
has arisen to what use the now empty
chamber shall be put.

AyreS, and continued under Spanish ruls
until news of SPANS loss of prestige
caused the colonists to make concerted
action against her oppression. John
Bull had deavored, with no great sue
cess, to t. CHI this lesson to them along
in 1906 when trying to carry out Pitts
project of destroying Spanish influence
in South America by the use of British
arms; Buenos Ayres and Montevideo
were actually held fer awhile by the
English, but presently the invaders
were glad to evacuate and sail away for
home The knowledge that SPANS
glory was waning was added to when
the French were successful over old
Spain, and in 1910 the La Plata country
made issue with the mother land. A rev.
Olution raised its head, and an attempt
was made to establish a confederation Of
the Province of the Plata River.
The dream was great one. but the
territory was too gigantic, the people
were not at all of one mind, and the fed
eral system collapsed at the end of four
years, the revolt being led in what is now
Uruguay. This little land, when the
federation was dissolved, fell under the
Jurisdiction of Buenos Ayres, whose gov
ernor at once set about forming a new
confederation. The emperor of Brazil,
desiring to annex Uruguay to his own
domain, declared war with the ATgen-
tine Republic, and in the battles ensuing
the Argentines proved themselves
formidable foes both on land and sea,
so formidable that Brazil was glad to

argued and allowed in the reign of
George II.
Surprising, then, that King Edward,
having no further use for the chapel as a
treasury, should restore the custody Of
it to the dean and chapter, from the
abbey point of view it goes without say
ing that its future use should be it's orig
inal use-a sacred one. The Chapel of
the PyX" is the Oldest chapel in the alb
hey precinct, and the only portion of Ed
ward the ConfessOr's building which is
still capable of being used for divine
service. 1t would be the natural course,
therefore, to use it for service on GER
tain high days connected with the
history of the abbey, provision, of
course, being made for it's inspection
by visitors.
The dean of Westminster, however, in
a lecture given recently at the Royal in
stitutiOn and printed in the Cornhill
Magazine for June, makes the interest
ing suggestion, that in view of the diff
Guilty of finding room in the abbey
church for further interments, the va
rious chambers (of which the Chamber
of the Pyx is one), into which the crypt
under the old monkish dormitOry has
long been divided, should be thrown to-
gether again by the removal of the parti
ton walls so as to form once more sim
gle vaulted chamber. The chapel so con-
structed would be 100 feet long by 80 feet
wide, and would provide a last resting
place for the ashes of the great men
whom England chooses to honor, during
not a few generations to come, especially
if the rule were made that cremation
should precede burial. The dean is care
full to speak of his suggestion as
dream" rather than "scheme;" but it
is a dream that is certainly worth the
serious consideration of all persons in
terested in maintaining what the dean
speaks of as ''the splendid tradition of
abbey burials." Then there is the ques-
ton of monuments. The lowness Of the
vaulting would prevent this crypt
chapel being used as place for statues;
but it would be we'll suited for busts,
which in the abbey church look insignifi-
cant, and woefully disfgure the col
umns, to which in too many cases they
have been fixed. But on the eastern side
is an open space; observe the flood of
light that is coming from it in the clever
sketch of the reconstructed crypt as it
would be seen from its southern end
looking towards the altar in the PyX
chapel This open space is at present
occupied by the school gymnasium, but
it would conceivably be possible to ar
range for the removal of the gymnasium
to better site, so as to erect here a
building in which the famous series Of
statues of great English statesmen
might be continued
