was in charge of the Art committee with
Miss Maude H. Sprague as chairman,
who introduced in graceful manner
the speaker of the afternoon, Miss Eliza
beth Eaton. Miss Eaton took for her
subject, Michelangelo, the four souled
Florentine' and her scholarly paper was
listened to with great interest.
In Michelangelo's time art had a
wonderful development A great deal of
antique architecture was discovered dur
ing this period and the age was ono of
painting and sculpture. Born of pure
but noble family in 1874 he showed a
talent for painting, but his parents
means would not permit his progress in
this line. For few years he studied
law, and finally the noted painter,
Lorenzo, realizing the talent the boy
possessed, offered to teach him and the
offer was most gratefully accepted
Painting, art, sculpture and poetry,
these four he became attached to but in
painting he showed the greatest talent.
He spent years i'll the study of form and
as result his paintings became famous.
His figures are finished with the greatest
care, showing that art and Christian
thought are combined with perfect har-
mony- Having perfect knowledge of his
work he had perfect freedom and he
brought out his original style.
Michelangelo's paintings stand not for
the church alone, but for the world in
general and in regard to sculpture his
breadth of view differs with other artists.
The Sistine Chapel, one of his grandest
works, covered period of four years
aud half In all his pictures there is
warmth, depth and color.
Mrs. Blanche Brockway then rendered
a pleasing solo and the meeting
adjourned.

we looked around it had been raining

AS the walk along the creek is narrow

had very hard time going back.
Some places we had to cling to the
branches and bushes, jump, in the mud
and go down in quicksand. Altogether
