 Nevertheless, what remains to be done Is almost us difficult as what has already been accomplished. IL involves considerations which are more or less intangiblci 1t involves. in particular, u changed attitude Of mind, for what the war destroyed was not only human lives, dreadful as was the toll, not property nor the forces of government. It de- stroycd for tho moment belief in one another's good faith, and good faith is the cement which binds civilization together. Without it, units, whether individual or n&- tionaI, simply fall apart.
 "If human society is to function again as whole that good faith must at least be assumed. Peace cannot come from without; it must como from within.

AN ARTIST IN STAINED GLASS

It is not as an artist that Mrs
Goodhue deals in stained glass, bu
as the manager of steadily grow
ing business. And thereby hangs {
story in which fortunate chance
has played its part.
Mary Louise Wright came East
from Ohio with her music and he1
career. She gave up both when she
met Harry Eldredge GoOdhue, ar
tist in glass, and perhaps the first
American to discard definitely the
ugly modern, Opalescent limitations
of what in the Middle Ages had
come to be one of the beautiful ex-
pressions of that curious aspiring
quality which so distinguishes the
style of Gothic architecture. His
work is widely scattered over the
country, too little known in a gen
1eration accustomed to forget that
0stained glass may be really beauti-
Aul-tOo Injured to seeing windows
Which are nothing but painted pic
tHres, denying the first architectur-
an principle of a window that il
sh]ll be translucent, and defeating
at Ehe same time, the inspiration OF
realN stained glass which through
its M Eyriad cOlors. heightens the re-
fraction of the light a hundred fold
and q Aorifes the interiors which il
floods.
Death took his disciple of pure
beauty / N stained glass seven years
ago, befdre his work had been COM
pleted. Mrs. C,aQdhue accepted the
orders which came, soliciting others
when the earlier oI les were ex.
hausted. She had no shop in which
they might be executed, but compe-
tent artists submitted designs, and
from them she chose the best ex-
preston of her own ideas. She had |
discussed designs with Id er husband |
to be a competent critic. |
OF the actual craft of glhss, how
ever, she knew little, excepting
what she had absorbed fir ON excur-
siOns with her husband. but there
