Mrs. Seymour Houghton gave the
second of her series of lectures ycster-
day before large number of listeners.
The subject was "The Folk Lore Of the
Hebrew" and it was intensely fasci-
ma ting as delivered in the graceful
manner OF the speaker. Her descrip-
tion Of the story of Elijah was es-
pecially effective,
1t is rather a pity that an art course
is not sustained this Lenten season in
Scranton as it is in many other cities.
Perhaps our ladies have had enough of
ISiArt'' in the famous blue book of the
sAmerican Art League" whose place
of business is a box in the New York
postofticA But a course of lectures, IL
lustrated by views or photographs,
would be very valuable just now.
