A WINDOW FROM THE CERTOSA DI PAVIA 



"No words can describe its beautj', no photograph do it justice. The centuries have 

 passed over it gently. Under that benign Italian sky it has mellowed perhaps a trifle ; but 

 as it is, so it seems it must ever have been — a wondrous flower blooming alone at the heart 

 of its silent meadows" (see text, pages 541 and 551). Now the church at Certosa, together 

 with many other beautiful examples of olden art, has been brought within a few scant miles 

 of the ever-extending, unsparing battle line of Europe's great war.
