The early years of his manhood were ' devoted to architecture, and his interest in that art today is a keen as ever. If asked what are his greatest pleasures he would probably say visiting cathedrals and hear ing church music His tarourite exercise | in the country is cycling, but in town he is, an indefatigable walker. His so-called pessimism, he declares, is pre rather of reason than of feeling. Certainly, in his ordinary life he “is a person of irenge cheerfulness--one might almost say, of more than average cheerfulness.
