Of a church window on which was
painted the picture Of st. Patrick
which the painter, It seems. had in

halo. st. Patrick without a halo
worried him, he said, and he was

chased.
After several attempts in procur-
ing the services of a Washington
glass man, he finally went to Bal
timore to get st. Patrick a halo. he
said. A week later st. Patrick had
a halo and II have found out that
you can get better and cheaper
halos in Baltimore than in Wash
ington," he concluded.
