French Architecture.


In discussing Nthe style of architecture
which is commonly known as the French
renaissance, examples of which have re-
Gently been erected in this city, Mr.. Paul
j. Pelz said:
During the middle ages Italy was the
coveted prize of her northern neigh
bors both the German empire and
the growing kingdom of France were close
competitors for it's possession, and the
fair land Of the sunny CLINE was frequently
overrun by armies of northern invaders.
This had the effect of bringing the chival-
ry of these countries composing the ar
mics into contact with the luXurtes and
refnements of an advanced civilization
which Italy in those times possessed in a
much greater degree than its more barbar-
Gus northern neighbers. In the sixteenth
century. especially when the spirit OF the
renaissance had leavened the life OF the
nation and commenced ito bring forth in
amazing beauty the flowers and fruit of
the early works in the arts OF architec-
ture, sculpture and painting, the effect OF
these lastingly exquisite productions OF the
genius of a gifted race made deep i'm
preston on the rulers OF the French king
dom, and on the cavaliers who yet In those
days wore partial arn7or, and on their re-
turn home they commenced to Shape their
dwellings especially to suit the 1ew ideas
they had formed in the land of }lives and
