Greek and Roman costumes was the
subject of the lecture last night before
the National Society of the Fine Arts.
At Hubbard Memorial Hall. The lee
turer was Francis d. Millet, of New
York. whose accomplishments as a war
correspondent, author, and artist as
well as lecturer are we'll known to all
interested in the fine arts.
Whether the popularity of Mr.. Millet,
or the announcement that his lecture
was to be illustrated by a draped liv-
ing model, or both, proved an unusual
is only matter Of conjecture.
The auditorium was filed TO it's utmost
capacity all standing room was oc-
cupied and many had 10 content
themselves with positions in the corri-
doris, where an occasional word of the
lecturer, or a semi-occaSiOnal view of
the model could be obtained.
The lecture was decidedly informal,
and the material from several lectures
had been rearranged 10 suit the Dur-
poses of a single lecture. Mr.. Mllet
seemed from the first to be in sympathy
with his audience, and spoke in a pleas
ing conversational manner. But little
was said that would be valuable for the
note hook. but volumes were demon
strated concerning the costumes of the
