H. Gustave Hiller's leaded light,
No. 84, is simpie and pieasing; his
N/. yii/lzz c/ is good, but not
quite so satisfactory as the Bishop in
his panei for reredos. He also has
three good Cartoons for Rgure panels.
A leaded light by E. Fletcher Clayton is
charming in colour, but rather formless ;
some of his small sketches are better in
