The four large spandrils between the arches are tobe fitted with paintings by Mr. Edward COURAGE. Drawn by A. R. Willett. Designed by Elmer E. Garnsey Above these spaces the drum of the rotunda up to thebase of the dome is painted in tones recalling the stonecolor below; the enriched members in the entablatureand the railing of the balcony encircling the dome arerendered in dull gold. The dome is divided into twelve vertical panels,painted in deep blue, the dividine ribs and the crownwhich they support in dull gold; so that the mass ofgrey orange stone color, heightened with gold, findsits- complemjentary in the deep blue dome penetrations at the base of the dome formlunettes over each of the twelve windows, in which arerepresented the signs of the Zodiac, painted on car-touches supported by sturdy boyish figures. The great spherical electrolier, suspended from thecenter of the dome, lends a witchery of light to this in-terior in the early evening; when daylight ahd electric-ity strive for the mastery; when elusive violet shadowsand golden reflections dance
