Miss Anna Seaton- Schmidt, of Boston.
delivered an address yesterday after
noon before the Woman's Club. Her
SUBJECT WAS French Art and the Mod :

expound 1t for her hearers. Miss San

upon the wonderful art of the world.
lnat hcf audience caught a vision of
achievements yet to be.

but simply the capacity to tell the worle.
something through n picture or statue.
IL is as old as tho Oldest civilization in
tho world. and is the thought of every

Tor all countries turn to France for
inspiration. Paris Is the Mecca of art.
and there exist there to-day some won
derful and strange Developments alonr
that line.
Miss Seaton- Schmidt spoke of cubism
and futurism as foam thrown up on a
stormy sea--not an evolution. but n
reVolution-that has grown out OF n
repression OF the older artists. She
made a splendid illustration OF this nov,
phase Of art to the old fairy tale of the

ambition. for 1t Is only those who seek

does not at first condemn. but we take
1t much too seriously. Sincerity is the
very keynote of art. and Miss Seaton-
