LONDON, Nov. 12.-The East
window Of st. Margaret's church, adj
joining Westminster Abbey, which
has been called the finest specimen,
of stained glass work in London, is
being removed to place OF safety
in view of the recent Zeppelin raids.
The window was made at Gouda,
Holland, and was presented by the
magistrates of bort to King Henry
VIII. for the chapel Of Whitehall
palace. The king, however. gave it
to Waltham Abbey. The glass, Of
which the blues and greens are re-
markably striking, suffered sundry
removals and vicissitudes, and at one
time was buried to escape the zeal
Of the Puritans. Eventually It was
purchased by the wardens Of st. Mar
garet for $1,000. 1t Is now valued
at twenty times that sum.
