Miss Claudia Stuart delivered the first
of what from this initial one, promises to
be q most delightful series Of lectures
on English and American Literature
on Saturday afternoon. The parlors OF
the Executive Mansion were filled with an
interested and appreciative audience
composed exclusively Of the culture, re
fnement and elegance Of Richmond. ana
from the outset the gifted young lee
turer secured and sustained the attention
of them all. This initial lecture was
upon James Russell Lowell, and the sub
| iect was logically, originally and attrac-
| lively treated and in addition 10 its in
| trinsic value the charming personality
Of the writer added a piquancy TO its de-
| livery. which was realized by those Tor
| tunate enough TO have secured tickets.
| Miss Stuart is rot only brilliant lee
| turer, but a yoLng, handsome and dis
| tinctly feminine" woman, possessing
| mona Of the vulgar mannerisms and al
| fectations OF many woman lecturers Both
| her personality and her literary work
appeal to the most cOnsummate refine
| ment Of the cities in which she lectures
notably washington, Philadelphia and
| Richmond. The gatherings OF which she
| is the centre never fail to partake quite
| as much of the nature Of exclusive social
| events as Of literary lectures.
