FRANCHISE OFFICIAL LECTURER
 IS HEARD HERE

Last evening at the Stratfield, the Alliance Francaise had its third meet M Louis Hourticq. the official Iec- furer this year, and inspector of fine arts for the city of Paris. His s1b- Ject was the art of the 18th century in France This is particularly iru- portant period in the history of French art, for 1t marks the change from the which is of the people. With the death of Louis XIV in 1715 artists were no longer dominated by royalty, but, coming into touch with the peo pie through the medium of the annual salon exhibitions which began to be given i'm Pariss became more and more popular.
 The first artist to represent the new ideals. and one of the best known to- day. is Watteau. As every one knows he presented in more or less fanci- fu1 form the people of the day at their most ueual occupation which was love- making, or better perhaps. flirting.
 For the love of Watteau's canvass ss has nothing of the serious or even sentimental about 1t. It is essentially frivolous and capricio1s. Its scenes are enacted by pretended shepherds and shepherdesses, tending sheep "ds luxe. They are set in fantastic land Escapes whose trees and misty. dist znces have more in common with stage scenery than with reality. Wat teau was very popular. He conse- Quent1y had many imitators and may be said to dominate the early 18th century.
 Toward the middle of the period came a change in tone. Instead of being any longer capricfous, flippant. even de1icately immoral, art became imbued with sentiment and tender ness. and It's subjects were lightly touched with melancholys They be- gan to cease flirting and to play al Virtue. a
 Of this period the most character -fstfc artist is perhaps Grenze. He popu1arized the drama of the bour- weofsie In the little home scenes painted by him and by Chardin we see ns character not the courtierS of Wat temu, but the parents of the coming Revolution
 The lecturer illustrated these paint ers' work as well as others of the period including Fragouard and Mime. Of I,e Brun with delightful views which he accompanied with brilliant and lively comments. His pure Pari- sian French was a delight to the aI1- Sience. which was a large and bril- liant one.

HARD UP, PACKERS
FORMED TRUST TO
NEGOTIATE LOAN

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-That the pack
ing companies were hard up in 1902
and were forced to organize the Ma
tional Packing Company in order to ne
gotiate a loan was the principal point
in the argument of Attorney Ralph
Crews, Of the packers counsel, in his
reply to the charges raised by Assist
ant Attorney General Revelle, of the
state of Missouri.
Crews in his argument, declared that
in 1902 Charles Armour. Edward Nor
ris and Gustavus F. Swift, heads of
the three packing companies whose
Missouri owned concerns the state Is
seeking to GUST were hard up and were
forced to negotiate loan from Kuhn.
Loeb & Co, to meet an obligation OF
$4,000 900 due the First National bank
of New York city. The National Pack
ing Company. which took in the st.
Louis Dressed Beef and Provision
Company and the Hammond Packing
Company of ST. Joseph, was organized
by Armour, Morris and Swift as indi-
viduals, the stock being held by them
and in their names. That the organ
ization Of the National Packing Com
pany was necessary to secure the loan
constituted the chief argument raised
by Mr.. Crews.
