. THE French salon represented the |
best blood. the best breeding, the best |
literary culture of France
If this be so, It is fitting and inspir-
ational to study those women who |
shone in the salons of two hundred |
years ago-to discover, il possible, the !!
secrets of their charm. and analyze |
the sources of their great power. |
Such is the idea behind the salons |
to be held here this week, an idea |
full of meaning for modern society, |
now in process Of reorganization.
Miss Harriet M. Bogardus in |
Wednesdays discourse. the first of the |
series, will speak on the Ethics and |
Aesthetics of Conversation or the !
keynote of the French salon. A mu-
steal prelude and intermission, on the |
harp, and songs by Mrs. Allen Sells
will add to the salon idea Mrs |
George H. Hodges. the first lady of
the state" Mrs George Pritchard, |
president Of the u. and I. club; Mrs |
Silas Porter and Mrs. Bell Swan are |
to be the hostesses, emulating, not a |
modern receiving line but the |
French salon leaders who form the |
themes of the addresses.
Tomorrow's salon, at the governors
house begins at 1890. Guests will !
be welcomed during the musicall
