lecture in the series of free public
school lectures had just shown his au-
dience the beauties of the Cologne ca

thought of an experience he once had
on similar occasion. 1T was at the
conclusion of my lecture he told his
audience, that a woman came to me.
explained that she too was a student
of architecture and thanked me for
enlightening her on one point that she
had never been able to understand
before. I've always wondered she
said to me, where the Colonial style
of architecture came from. Now, of
course, l see that it comes from Co
