Miss Dora Duty Jones last evening de-
1vered the third Of her lectures on the
general SUBJECT. "The Renaissance OF Art
I'm England" Her special theme ON this
occasion was "Sir Edward Burne-Jones
and the Aesthetic Movement and in
spite of the fact that she has been i'll
for three days past. her audience were
delighted both with the substance of her
paper and the fine stereopicon illustfa-
lion. In order that no confusion 10 the
speaker might arise from the sound OF
voices in the adjoining dining-rooms, the
time for the lecture was changed to If
teen minutes Of O'Clock. and the result
was eminently satisfactory. Like its pre-
decessors. the lecture was characterized
bv fine intuition of the motif and the
methods Of the artist under consideration
and was marked by the analytic power
requisite for just and sympathetic criti-
cism. Its diction was exceptionally beau
tiful.
The audience was a large and discrimi-
mating one.
