FLOWER
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Lecture by Miss Mary Averil Under
Auspices of Norwich Art Students.

Miss Mary Averill of New York gave
an interesting lecture at the Slater
Memorial on Friday evening on Japa-
nese Flower Arrangement. This was
given under the auspices of the Nor
witch Art Students association, the
president, Miss Mary Aiken. graceful
ly introducing the speaker. Miss Av-
Grill spent five years studying the art
in Japan, being the only foreigner
who mher teacher had ever consented
to instruct The Japanese are very
wary Of imparting to foreigners any
secrets they have concerning plants.
This is a purely Japanese art-no
trace Of it coming from any other
country. The name for it, translated.
is living flowers, and this idea is the
root of the whole matter. 1t aims at
the preservation Of plant life. The art
was founded by a celebrated general
who wanted better arrangement for
the flowers offered at the shrinas Of
his Buddhist temples. Modern generals
often practice it before going into bat
tie to give them a clam and clear
mind.
There are three elements in each ar
rangement, Stimulating heaven, man,
and earth, and two styles of arrange
ment, the masculine and the feni-
nine. Miss Averill spoke Of the wide
qualification the Japanese derive from
flowers and the way in which they
make the most of their scanty fora.
Of their flower festivals, and Of the va
ried information which each arrange
ment conveys TO the initiated. Their
art is so different from ours. Every
thing is balance and beauty of line to
show motion and force instead of our
mass and color. With them the stems.
must not be hidden as they show
character and strength. Besides, it is
injurious to the flowers to crowd them
or have the stems way under water.
They avoid symmetry for balance and
are adopts in making branches sim
ulate the whole tree. That is the
ground idea-to represent the whole
plant. They have curious devices of
rings and sticks for holding the flow
ers in an upright position. Their re-
ceptacles are always wide at the top
and always in harmony with the flow
ors. Miss Averill showed three typi-
cal arrangements of narcissus, Japa-
nese ounce and fern.
