FRENCH CATHEDRALS MARvELs
OF ARCHITECTURAL ART.
Rich In Historic Interest, and Of Sur

Present War Is Matter for
Keen Regret.

Reims cathedral, partly destroyed
during the recent bombardment, was
regarded as the Westminster abbey
| OF France On its site, according to
legend, Clovis was baptized in the
fifth century, and there Joan Of Arc
saw the conservation of Charles VII
There ALSO the kings of France were
crowned and anointed.
Two of the chief features OF the
cathedral, which dates back to 1911,
were the most famous rose window
Of the world almost forty feet in di-
nmeter, and the $50 statues adorning
the portals and facades, including AZ
colossal statues of French kings.
Near the north portal was one of the
masterpieces of Gothic sculpture, rep
resenting the Last Judgment" with
figure Of Christ in the attitude Of
benediction
The interior was world-renowned
for it's exquisite stained glass, its six
teenth-century tapestries and great
organ. one of the finest in Europe.
Although not quite so rich in his
torical interest, the cathedral of Notre
Dame in Paris is more ancient than
that of Reims, the main building hav-
ing been begun in the twelfth cen
tury. 1t is said that n the pillars of
Notre Dame could speak they might
tell the whole history of France. The
only coronation celebrated there was
that of Henry VI of England in 1881.
Perhaps the finest feature of Notre
Dame In Paris is the Sainte Chapelle,
built by st. Louis in 1245-S for the re-
ception of the various relics which he
brought from the Holy Land. This
chapel Is perhaps the greatest exist
ing masterpiece of Gothic art
Amiens cathedral is another of
Frances thirteenth century churches
to which the world pays visits. This
was the church which Ruskin and
other people have described as 'the
finest existing medieval structure"
It's Incompatible facade, galleries
filed with the statues of kings, its
superb windows and tapestries, and
above all its beautiful choir-stalls and
chapels, make the Amiens cathedral
Incompatible in many respects.
OF special historical interest to the
English is the cathedral of Rouen, for
1t was there that the heart of Richard
Occur de Lion was buried prior to It's
being removed to the Museum of An
tiQuities. Another interesting fact re-
garding the Rouen cathedral is that
the notable south tower was built at
the end of the fifteenth century with |

One of the most delicious ways to
use apples in cookery is in Bavarian
pie. Line a deep dish with pastry.
Fill it with breadcrumbs and bake it
until the pastry is done. Then remove
the crumbs and fill the cavity with
chopped apples and nuts and some
stoned raisins. Sweeten with sugar
and flavor with nutmeg and cinnamon
Sprinkle with cake crumbs and bake
till it is brown on top and the fruit
within is thoroughly cooked. Spread
over the top a lemon favored meringue
and let it become a light brown in the
oven. Set the pie away to cool before
serving.
