noon In Hutchisons hall, Pawtucket, with
the president, Mrs. George NJ. Thornton,
in the chair. The afternoon was in charge
Of the department of foreign languages.
Miss Lavinia Hlll chairman, and the
speaker was Mile. Irene Saniewska of
this city, her subject being "Chateaubri-
and and His Time From 1868 TO 1SlS'
Mile Saniewska was able TO treat her
subject in an unusually original way from
the fact that she had read extensively
from the works of Chateaubriand i'm
French. and had consulted many French
authors OF the great writer's time, from
whose works she had CLEANED much In
formati ton that was new 10 her hearers
and full OF interest. Then, too, her pure
French pronunciation had a distinct and
piquant accent which added immeasur-
ably 10 the charm OF her lecture.
The speaker began by saving that the
story of the life she was going 10 talk
about was so full of events that Ii would
take hours To relate II and that she
had therefore tried to condense her mar
rative as much as possible.
She continued by saying that Chateau
BRAND was the leader and head of the
literary reform of his time. and quoted
what that great French critic--Bernardin
de ST. Pierre-said of him. viz: That
his imagination was strong; his sensibili-
ty most intense and passionate. and that
TO these faculties so To speak. he owed
the brilliant and harmonious qualities of
style and also some of his faults.
"As painter of nature" said Mile.
Sanieyska, "Chateaubriand has more

In expression than st. Pierre.
He surpasses these three writer's" de-
clared the speaker. by his harmony Of
style and brlliancy of thought.
"As a prose writer" she continued.
"Chatesubriand is inferior TO the great
Pascal and the eloquent Bossuet,
