...church (except, as a rule, Episcopalians, who usually go to one of Paris' Anglican churches or to the Episcopalian American Cathedral), in 1931 Dr. Joseph Cochran. a Presbyterian (now 90 and on hand for last week's celebrations), replaced the Rue de Berri church with a large Gothic church and a five-story community house on the Quai d'Orsay. When Presbyterian Williams took over in 1933, he busied himself learning the rituals of all Protestant sects, performs baptisms in any style except total immersion, calls in a Baptist missionary when this is required.

Recently London Art Dealer David Carritt, 30, flipping idly through the Bacon Collection catalogue, was struck by a curious resemblance. The lion in the back of the painting was similar to one drawn by Germany's famed Gothic draftsman Albrecht Dürer. Invited down to tea to examine the painting at first hand, Art Dealer Carritt was certain. Other experts were called in, agreed.

The solution is an ingenious example of contemporary Air Force Gothic. Rising tall and bright in its sheath of man-made aluminum against the surrounding peaks of the Rockies, the chapel stands in solitary splendor, its 19 spires soaring in contrast above the flat-roofed buildings spread out on the campus. It is built on two levels, has three naves...
...imaginative, not monetary, values were what drew the crowds. Forty-five dollars bought a century-old bird cage patterned on a Gothic chapel; no amount of money could ever buy the notion of creating such a thing. Eighty-five dollars bought a rocking horse, carved by some boy's loving father, which had doubtless earned over a million dollars in fantasy races. Best in show, perhaps, was an iron weather vane in the shape of a rooster, presented by an appropriately named antiquarian, Myra Tinklepaugh. "They're hard to find," Mrs. Tinklepaugh briskly allowed. "I'm dickering...
