WAR MEMORIALS
Sig.—Most people wil1 be in sympathy with the idea of war memorials which have a practical as well as a sentimental value. A -great deal of stained glass has been destroyed, and—there can be no blinking the fact—the interiors of a great many small ancient churches are the lighter in consequence. To make good the damage with good stained glass would be far beyong the means of most country parishes, while cheap and nasty stuff would be an abomination. Plain glass would be out of keeping with the atmosphere of old churches. But I have seen an example of sculptured plain glass in a church window, which admits daylight as does plain glass, but the design is distinctly ornamental. The example mentioned is a family memorial, but the idea might very well be applied to village memorials.—Your obedient servant,
G. B. J. ArnoE, Secretary,
