The study hour of the. Twentieth Cen

cipally to the works of Greneze and
David.
Mr. A. d. Jones presented a short study
CT the life and paintings of the former
artist. He was the first French painter
O. Genre, ard his subjects are chosen
tor the most part from humble life. but
enc of Grenze's hits of lowly life as one
critic says, seems like an academic COM

lent by Mrs. Thornton Sargent. One
writer says that this exquisite portrait
is sufficient in itself to immortalize both
artist and sitter.
Mrs. Trotter gave a brief character

the most familiar character in French
history before the revolution. The music
for the day was furnished by Miss Abby
