Miss Danforth,s Lecture.

A proof Of the growing sentiment. In
favor Of "Woman's Clubs was evidenced
in the fairly representative crowd, that
assembled in Iryington colltg,, on Fri
day July 23td TO listen TO the lecture "a
Spanish Art" delivered by Miss Dan
forth. True, the masculine element, was
conspicuous by absence, rather than by
representation-but, when one takes in
TO consideration, that this is the season
of harvest, and the section occupied by a
people, having q remote analogy, to
Prof. M ukhams "Man with hoe" this
seeming dereliction, is easily accounted
for.
1t was modern version of Veni vidi
vici, for Miss DaDforth, came, saw and
captured her audience. A woman Of
grave, dignif ID bearing, and wonderful
mag uetic personality, she held her list
eners spell bound, even b.fJre the sub
ieCt matter Of her lecture was fully ,luci-
dated.
The subject, Spanish Art" was chosen
as in line with the course, pursued by
the "Fortnightly Club" for the current
year. Her handling of the subject,
showed deep research-as she delved
back into the distant ages, to show the
influence welded by Celt, Phoenician,
Therian, Roman and Moor, in molding
Spanish Art. VelasqueY and Murillo
were given prominent places, as true ar
fists, and some idea OF the beauty and
granduer OF their works were shown in
the really foe illustrations, depicting
some Of their greatest paintings.
But Spanish Art" was not all OF her
lecture. She had been delegate to the
Federation OF Women's Clubs" recent
ly held in Frankfort, and her talks on
"Clubs and Club work." was listened to
with rapt attention.
She gave allowing account Of the no.
BILE work being done, by the Fedora
tion"-and the desire evidenced by the
ladies to uplift those 'heathens," not far
from our doors.
She spoke Of the really good mission
airy work, that the various clubs were
trying to accomplish, in the mountain
districts, by teaching, in kindly chris
tian way, the domestic and culinary arts,
to those isolated people.
With Miss M. I. Elder, in Donahoe's
Magazine, she believes that "The man
with the hoe" 80 terribly painted, in
Prof Markham's poem, is not a misnomer
but startling nineteenth century reali-
ty, and,
who loosened and let down this jaw,
oh Masters, Lords and Rulers in all lands,
How will you ever straighten up this shapel"
The query will at least, be partially
answered, when club work widens wo-
mans sphere, and her influence for the
good and the pure, in language and in
life makes itself felt throughout the
length and breadth OF the land.
