with my mother" he said, 81 can re-
member gazing up at the vast undeco-
rated dome of the cathedral and think
ing, Perhaps some day it will be my
lot to make that vast vault glitter with
gold and blue silver and white
Later years showed that this was
my destiny. When 1 started on the
work thought, If I fail there is al
ways Waterloo bridge and the
Thames
He told them how st. Paul's was
once nothing more than a great mass
of stone-very dirty stone, too. He
could recall when the stones exuded
oil, the residuum of the oil paint which
covered them in the time of Wren.
IF it were not for art" Sir William
observed, 1.-The world would be one
great wilderness. And If there be one
place in London which ought to be
delightful in color and full of the
noble sentiments of religion 1t is st.
Paurs cathedral"
Sir William gave a hint as to
viewing the beautiful decorations.
1.-TWO o'clock on fine day is the
best time" he said, "for the light is
best then, and l advise visitors to take
opera glasses with them"
He added that he will leave all the
drawings he made in the course of the
decorations to the nation-''to be used
or burned as you may please"
