Westminster Abbey,- London's historic church o f I 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 'v is the small Chapel of St. Faith, at the southern end of the South Transept, which is usually reserved I for private devotions. ' "As early as last summer crafta ' '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 this spring high among the ' columns of the nave and tran septs to permit the squeezing of several thousand more spectators ' into space normally seating about J 1 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 i..t ! esses glittering with gems, they will I blaze with brilliant colors like a flower bed against the gloomy aisles of the,' somber building. , ' 7i "The climax of the impressive, ; j centuries - old ceremony will be V - reached when church dignitaries place on George VTs head the his--' toric St. Edward's crown. I Revered by Britons. ' ' , "Other great English churches V may be larger, older, or more im pressively situated, but Westminster Abbey is more revered than any, Molding 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 -j .. l. ...... V. t 4 J !.U their sovereignty there. . - "In the Chapel of St. Edward the Confessor stands the famous coro ' nation chair. To unknowing eyes it i 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 , tiona 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 MiromJ5coUand by Edward I, is the I "Mf imw m wtilnti tha had formerly been ition chair which the was made for Mary. wife of William IB. ' "The spectator who knows his his i tory may well be thinking of the past as he watches George VI pre- tented 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. X royal weddings have filled Westmins- ; ter Abbey with splendid pageantry. George VI, than Duke of York, was married there on April 26, 1923. J "In contrast to such festive occa A sions art 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 monarchs, and contains many of their gilded, or elaborately carved marble tombs. Even little Edward ) v, one oi me princes muruerea in tea . . m . . . m . ,uu lower, nas nis remains pre served here, 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 tM 0CUCUM.MU uvv, w jiuviior tery. For Centuries, abbots and monks thronged its cloisters, and its now are incorporated in adjoining m i 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 0t architecture . employed in t h e 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 I bishop was appointed. Today there is a dean, but neither monks nor bishop." rrrrrien Pick Up Mail ; - . nTc;",..! in Sealed Cam . Miami, JFa. .

The speed (?) bait was "caught" at 1250 seconc at f.6.3. Nc TOW comes .the time of year when according to the poets, "Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil," when "The Joyous book of Spring lies open, writ in blossoms," when "Spring is in the world and all things are made new." In the Spring, according to the meteorologists, the sky grows bright er, the sun stronger. According to the psychologists, the human urge for action also waxes stronger, and, according to the astrologers, Spring Is an auspicious season. Add these all up and the answer Is that it Is a grand time for picture taking. Beauty, light, action and omens of good luck all fresh and new what more promising condi tions can an amateur photographer ask for? So, If that camera has heen hiber nating in the closet all winter, get It out, dust it off, clean the lens, load up and start shooting. With even half an eye at what you are tUoot lng at, you are bound to get pictures that will bring you lasting satis faction. ' Pretty backgrounds of flowers and foliage are waiting.

Have you a good picture of a drum major in your album yet? And once more along comes the circus where, "under the big top," with extra fast film and an ultra fast lens, you may capture thrilling snap shots of that young man on the flying trapeze, not to mention revealing close-ups of the bearded lady and, as the circus press-agent would say, perfectly paralyzing portraits of the ponderous pachyderms. Soon, too, school and college com mencement celebrations will be with us, and June weddings outstanding occasions for taking memory pic tures, always to be cherished. It's true.
