STAINED GLASS AND WOMEN
Latter Sometimes Desert Churches
Because colors From Windows
Put Streaks on Faces.

Churches whose treasures include
costly stained glass windows find that
their anxieties do not end with secur-
ing the money to pay for the window
and the artist to execute the work.
Every bit as important are the
compilations of the women in nearby
pews," said minister. II have known
churches to lose valuable parishi 'ners
because the window at the bark or
side cast an unbecoming light On a
lady's face. That would have hap
pened in my own church just a few
days ago If we had not considered the
lady's feelings and changed the de.
sign of the window, which was easier
than changing the lady's pew cr los
ing her support The pew was a
family inheritance, having been hand
ed down by will from generation to
generation; therefore it was out of
the question to move. At the same
time she had my sympathy in her re-
volt against that memorial widow.
No matter in what part of the pen she
sat the glass cast a bright red spot
right on the end of her nose and yell
low streaks across her cheeks and
forehead Even a handsome woman
would have been less attractive under
that barbaric Illumination; an my
parishioner had not been particularly
favored by nature those startling tints
were positively deforming. Forum
ately it was not too late to change
the lower half of the window, and the
lady now sits bathed in a becoming
violet glow"
