George’s Coronation to
Be a Colorful Ceremony
Renovate Westminster Ab
bey for Great Event
Washington. — Westminster Ab
bey, London’s historic church o f
kings and poets, pageantry and sol
emn ceremony, has been closed to
the public to prepare it for the
coronation of George VI in May.
The only part now open for services
is the small Chapel of St. Faith,
at the southern end of the South
Transept, which is usually reserved
for private devotions.
“As early as last summer crafts
men were renovating the organ,”
says the National Geographic so
ciety, “and worshipers missed its
impressive booming tones as they
sang hymns to the thin notes of a
piano.
“Tiers of wooden seats will be
built this spring high among the
lofty columns of the nave and tran
septs to permit the squeezing of
several thousand more spectators
into space normally seating about
2,500. On the coronation day, when
these galleries are filled to overflow
ing with ruling kings and queens in
gorgeous robes, peers and ambas
sadors in smart uniforms, and peer
esses glittering with gems, they will
blaze with brilliant colors like a
flower bed against the gloomy aisles
of the somber building.
“The climax of the impressive,
centuries • old ceremony will be
reached when church dignitaries
place on George Vi’s hea<} the his
toric St, Edward’s, crown.
“Other great English churches
may be larger, older, or more im
pressively situated, but Westminster

Abbey is more revered than any,
holding a unique position as the
church in which English monarchs
are crowned. Since the first corona
tion in the existing abbey, that of
Edward I in 1274, all the English
sovereigns have been invested with
their sovereignty there.
“In the Chapel of St. Edward the
Confessor stands the famous coro
nation chair. To unknowing eyes it
is a plain battered oak throne with
a curious large stone under the seat.
To loyal Britons it glows with more
glory than did the gilt and decora
tions which originally covered it.
For ever since Edward I had it
constructed in 1301, it has served
as the seat of the British monarch
during the solemn coronation cere
mony. The ancient stone, brought
from Scotland by Edward I, is the
famous stone of scone, on which the
Scottish kings had formerly been
crowned.
“The coronation chair which the
Queen will use was made for Mary,
wife of William III.
“The spectator who knows his his
tory may well be thinking of the
past as he watches George VI pre
sented with the ring, orb, and scep
ter next May. In his mind’s eye
he may see approachng from out
of the shadows of centuries the long
procession of British kings and
queens who were crowned under
this same roof.
More Solemn Events.
“Not only coronations, but also
royal weddings have filled Westmins
ter Abbey with splendid pageantry.
George VI, than Duke of York, was
married there on April 26, 1923.
“In contrast to such festive occa
sions are solemn times when the
hushed Abbey is draped in black for
the funerals of royalty or of noted
Britons. Until the middle of the
Eighteenth century, the Abbey was
the favorite burial place of English
jnonarchs, and contains many of
their gilded, or elaborately carved
marble tombs. Even little Edward
V, one of the princes murdered in
the Tower, has his remains pre
served here r thus achieving- his. -
rightful resting place, although he
was cheated out of his coronation.
“Westminster Abbey is so called
because it originated as the church
of a Benedictine abbey, or monas
tery. For centuries, abbots and
monks thronged its cloisters, and its
now are incorporated in adjoining
Westminster school. Beneath the
building that was the monks’ chap
ter house is an Eleventh-century
crypt whose stout pillars and round
arches still show the Norman type
of architecture employed in the
church which preceded the present
edifice. The latter was erected chief
ly by Henry III.
“For a brief time during the Ref
ormation, the Abbey was made a
cathedral. Mass-books and stone al
tars were destroyed, monks were
made canons, the abbot—a dean,
and a bishop was appointed. Today
there is a dean, but neither monks
nor bishop.”

Why do some lives emit radiance
and others do not? Some lives
beaming with joy
and love are con
stantly sending
out rays of light;
others dissemi
nate discourage
ment and gloom.
Why did the lean
ing tower of Pisa
never fall? Why
have the pyra
mids of Egypt
weathered the
storms of cen
turies? For an
answer, we must
look from within
and not from without. A house built
upon a rock stands in the midst of
the storm. A house built upon
the sands soon falls when the blasts
of winds strike it. The Tower of
*‘f’M THE best little bean burner
* In town,” remarked Lucy
through a mouth full of pins. “But
that’s because I’m such a wow at
screwing screws, nailing nails and
sewing seams,” said she modestly.
“But it’s the truth, I get so in
volved in making something or oth
er that I’m always forgetting all
about what’s for supper till I smell
it.”
We stopped by Lucy’s one morn
ing last week and found her up to
her neck fiinshing up a screen to
hide the sewing corner in her bed
room. There wasn’t another spot
in the house to be spared for her
sewing machine and all the trap
pings involved in sewing, so she
decided to make an efficient work
comer, then screen the whole thing
off so that it wouldn’t spoil the looks
of the room. Behind Lucy’s screen
was a small chest for material, a
drop leaf cutting table and the
sewing machine.
Lucy had built a five wing screen,
even the frame, herself, and then
covered it with the same pattern
of cretonne that she’d used for the
curtains and dressing table in the
room. The edges she finished with
soft green gimp the color of the rug.
The best way is to make the winged
screen with a wood frame and wall
board, then stretch the cretonne
over it on the outside. The in
side can have cretonne over it, or
it can be painted.
The screen turned out to be quite
a decorative asset to the room.
\The walls were ivory color and the
' rug soft green. Lucy had paintqf
the woodwork and doors powder
green, and her cretonne for the cur
tains and dressing table skirt was
a very flowery pattern with lots of
rose in it on a very warm cream
of a mop family. Then there’s the
inevitable “wet” mop—for bath
rooms and kitchens which should
be as voluminous as possible. We’ve
found the ones that are supposed
to be self-wringers are not as ef
ficient as the plain mops which you
wring by hand. If hand-wringing is
not your idea of fun—and it cer
tainly isn’t ours—a large pall with
a wringer attachment is the thing
to get.
Then, there Is the small mop, with
small head and a handle about two
and a half feet long. We couldn’t
keep house without one. To swoosh

Although he has yet to feel the,
caress (?) of a razor on his downy
cheeks, fourteen - year - old Dick
Shaughnessy, of Dedham, Mass., is
the top skeet marksman of these
United States. His title of all-
American skeet shooting champion
came after he had defeated the pick
of the country’s sharpshooters in
Chicago. He’s now a member of
Uncle Sam’s No. 1 team. Dick is

Pisa was constructed in perfect
obedience to the laws of engineer
ing. The pyramids of Egypt were
first made strong from within. In
a radiant life, brilliant lights burn
in the heart. Radiance is always
the outshining of something very
beautiful and luminous. Radiance
is not the reflection of light that
shines upon an object; it is the out
shining of a light that is inside
the object. A radiant life reflects a
radiant heart. A radiant mind re
flects radiant thoughts. A radiant
character reflects radiant ideals.
“No one can be a shining until
he is a burning light.”
A diamond may be valuable in the
dross, but we cannot evaluate it.
It must first pass through the hand
of the diamond cutter who cuts
triangular surfaces known as facets
upon it. By means of these facets
the refractive power of its crystal-
ized carbon is revealed in sparkling
brilliance. It is impossible to eval
uate a human life until the light
of some fire from within has liter
ally burned up the dross of mal
ice, revenge, hatred, and all those
impulses of the heart that destroy
the beauty of the spirit and the
strength of character.
When the light of joy, kindness
and love replaces the dross of vain
and evil thoughts, we have from
within an understanding heart and
a radiant life.
Without light there is no radiance.
Why live a life in the shadows of the
memories of misfortunes and fail
ures, when we may just as well
live in the light of the innumer
able blessings we daily possess?
Why not humanize some of the
ideals like forgiving those who
wrong us; practicing integrity in
our daily tasks; cultivating a sin
cere reverence for personality;
steadfastly refusing to sell our spir
itual birthright for a mess of pot
tage? Only thus do we make life
radiant. “He who works for ha
tred,” wrote Arnold, “works only
for confusion.” We do not need
to be indoctrinated with ideas so’
much as we need to be infused with
ideals which transform life from
within and make life radiant.
