Walked on Tiptoc Through Habit.


Three goodlookhlg Eorkmen passed

patron.
The proprietor smilingly answered:
IN tell you why, and the reason is
60 strange that you will hardly credit
It.
Those men are stained glass work
ers imported from Paris for my new
stained glass department and they
walk on tiptoe because they have
worked so much in churches and
cathedrals that the gait has become
habitual with them.
Practically all their working hours
have been spent in the repairing Of
the magnificent old painted windows
Of the churches Of Europe. Since
these churches are always open, since
services are always going on in them.
work must be conducted quietly and
all walking must be done on the toes.
Hence these three excellent arti-
lists whenever they enter a specious
and quiet place like this gallery Of
mine rise UP on their toes invulun-
tarily from a sHbconscious notion that
they are in church.
This is odd, but true-true of all
European stained glass workers.

a voluminous writer, having published
nearly one hundred volumes. In tween.

the next six years he published seven
