Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-28

Miss Margaret Spaulding of the Los
Angeles chapter, and youngest honor
student at the Peoples university UNI
versity City, ST. Louis, Mo, is tne
first honor student to receive a com
mission to execute a memorlal IN the
head chapter house of the American
Womar's league which Edward Gard- :
ner Lewis is planning to make the most
beautiful building In the world.
Mr.. Lewis Is perfecting elaborate
plans for the erection of the chapter
house to be built on the lines OF the
famous Tai Mahal at Agra, Indla.
Tablets in bronze, marble and porcel-
ain will thus serve as memorials to
loved ones instead of humble grave
stones or a stately sarcophagus. IL
will bring into existence new era,
producing memorials that shall exist
for generations as the entire ornamen-
tation and decoration, both interior and
exterior, sculpture, mosaic, stained
glass, mural painting, metal work and
ceramics will be the work of success
sive classes of honor students in the
several divisions in the Academy OF
Fine Arts. under the most brilliant
and famous masters in the world.
Everything entering into the decora-
tion of this building will be q mas
terpieCe-a memorial not alone to the
giver but to the genius of the design
er. 1t will become the great monument
to women in the world; but about 1T
will also cling a sentiment so beautiful
that it will never die. Every part OF
the most superb structure ever erected
by human hands, will live in its beauty
for a thousand years and the memorial
will be an apotheosis of the fine arts.
APPEAL TO WOMAN'S LEAGUE
Mr. Lewis has made an appeal to the
members of the American Woman's
league to have memorial in this mag
nificent building to some loved one that
has passed out Of this life, and Miss
Spaulding has been commissioned to
execute q memorial to Martin and Mar
tha Van Allen, the parents of Jennie
Van Allen. 1t is expected that there
will be commissions ranging from TO-
900 small memorials to memorials OF
S25, 900, from the members of the Amer
lean Womans league in the United
States.
The six weeks course in ornamental
lettering, under the direction of Miss
Emile S. Perry, closed Saturday, but
will be resumed after the holidays. The
members are delighted with the prog
ress they have made in an art that
will be a delight to them either in
addressing a package or in illuminat-
ing a card. The class in home eco
nomics, held every Thursday afternoon
in the beautiful reception room of DR..
Adolph J. Peter, on the seventh floor
of the Pantages theater building, had
a vacation on Thursday, a legal holi-
day. This class is one that is meet
ing with the unqualified approval of
the husbands of the members of the
Los Angeles chapter. 1t gives scien-
tific methods for the conduct of the
home; it dignifies the most important
professor in the world-that of the
home maker, for as Owens says, "One
may live without books-what is
knowledge but grieving? One may live
without hope; what is hope but de-
ceiving? One may live without love;
what is passion but pining? But
where Is the man that can live with
out dining?" This class will teach a
science of economy in every depart
ment of household matters. as the uni
versity is affiliated with the American
School of home Economics of Chicago.
The most accomplished housekeepers
are delighted to learn methods that
are revolutionizng habits Of a life
time.
