RENOVATION OF SAINTE CHAPELLE PROCEEDING Gem of Gothic Architecture Suc-| cessfully Resists Ravages of Time Since 13th Century. PARIS (N.AN.A).—They are busy yrenovating that gem of Gothic archi- cture, the Sainte Chapelle, whose e: Iquisite beauty no visitor can ever for Its preservation during recent years has been successfully maintained, for the solidity of the original stone work is wonderful. It was, ~f course, most drastically restored toward the close of Louis Philippe’s reign. It is hard to believe that with all its wealth of decoration, its delicate spire without and its riot of glorious color within, the chapelle was built in three years. | Most fascinating it 1s to see the strange little oratory on the right of the choir, where Louis XI, nervous and sus- picious, came to hear the mass, hidden even from the eyes of the court.
