Mrs. Bandini, on Robespierre. Mrs.
Bandini gave review of his life and
the characteristics that brought him
fame and popularity, maintaining that
it was the fact that he always had
definite purpose, backed by strong
will to carry it out, that carried him
to the great point Of ascendency that
he enjoyed. Her picture OF the condi-
ticn of the French nation at the time
of the revolution was q graphic one,
showing at the same time much study
and research as to the causes leading
up to that crisis.
A paper was read, written by Miss
Emua Lsntz, q member of the club,
who is at present in Denver. It was on
Napoleon, and gave a rather unusual
view Of the great general, showing up
his weak points, which are usually Tor
gotten in the great admiration OF his
biographers for his genius as general.
She cited many instances to show that
he was man destitute of any generous
sentiments and even lacking in COM
mon truth and honesty; in fact, that
he was an unscrupulous tyrRnt, not
caring how he obtained his power, II
only he obtained it. She sent also
paper by Charles W. Everett, lawyer
of Denver, which gave another view or
Napoleon, dealing with his strong
points In an able manner. Miss Lentz
gave extracts from the writings of M.
and Nine. de Remusat in support OF
her position, and also read extracts
from q catechism said to have been
actually printed and used In Spain
with such questions and answers as
tn" following:
C,ild, what art thou?
a Spaniard by the grace Of God.
Who is our enemy?
The emperor of the French.
What is the emperor of the French?
A wicked being, the source of all our
evils and the center of all our vice.
How many natures has her
Two, the human and the diabolicsl.
What are the French?
Apostate Christians turned heretics.
Mrs. Webb read beautifully written
poem, and then the election OF officers
was proceeded with. Mrs. Coleman was
elected president for next year; Mrs.
Bandini and Mrs. Nash vice-presidents;
Mrs. Crilly, secretary; Mrs. Braddock, r,
treasurer; Mrs. Chapin, Mrs. Bandini
and Mrs. Webb we're named as program
committee.
