John's Lane, at the entrance to which stands a survival from a buried world the embattled and windowed archway which is all that remains above ground of the great Priory of St. John of Jerusalem. Here dwelt the Knights Hospitallers, in days when Clerkenwell was a rural parish, distant by a long stretch of green country from the walls of London. But other and nearer memories are revived by St.
And it is likewise true that the Russians are not content with giving their houses a springlike temperature; some of their rooms are lined with windowed screens, behind which are arranged boxes and pots containing the lovely flowers that the month of May gives to France. In winter the rooms are lighted most elaborately.
Architecturally one of the most beautiful Roman churches, certainly, with its circle of columns surrounding the great central well, where two colossal pillars carry the triumphal arch, carry a great blank windowed wall above it, immensely high up.
All that the ages have contributed of arches, columns, coloring and lighting are utilized and made into palaces of great dignity and beauty. There is something about the arched and windowed walls and the spacious, open look of the buildings that is entirely distinctive and Van Ness.

Surely not venerable Rome nor the green plain that compasses her round about, contrasting its brightness with her gray decay nor the ruined arches that stand apart in the plain and clothe their looped and windowed raggedness with vines. We shall remember St.

Within they are, if not elaborately finished, elaborately fitted up, with a constant regard to health in the plumbing and drainage.
It was a lovely, sunny, many windowed chamber, and Suzanne in a white and blue morning dress was in charming accord with the gay atmosphere of the room. "Well, Suzanne, you know," she said, rather despondently, "I just couldn't help it. I had to go to someone.
Every body knows the picture of the Coliseum; every body recognizes at once that "looped and windowed" band-box with a side bitten out. Being rather isolated, it shows to better advantage than any other of the monuments of ancient Rome.
We had no packing to do, as we possessed nothing in the world but the clothes we stood up in and which, by the way, were now in the very last stage of "looped and windowed raggedness" so we simply nodded a "good-bye" to such of our envious acquaintances as happened to be within saluting range, and at once set off up the road which we were informed would conduct us to our destination.
