SECOND LECTURE
By MISS BROWN
Development Of Homes, Architecture
and Decoration of Homes is
Topic Of Yesterdays
Lecture.
WAS AT MRS. BAKERS
Baker Residence and Power House
Are Used as Examples Of Good
Architecture-Speak
Praises Pictures.

| A very interested and appreciative
audience heard Miss Browns second
lecture in the club extension course
on Saturday afternoon at the home Of
Mrs. Eugene S. Baker. They were
interested in the lecture and appre-
ciative of the kindness Of Mrs. Baker
in sharing with them some of the
treasures of her beautiful home.
In her talk, Miss Brown said:
when at the end Of six days Of
creation. God pronounced the world
as good, He gave it into the hand Of
man as His steward. Mans faithful
ness to that stewardship Is recorded
in the way they have used the ele
ments in the maintenance of life, in
the progress Of civilization and in
creating the comforts and even the
Injuries Of life. We are to speak to-
day on the homes. some of the beau
tiful things which come into them and
how those beautiful things may min
lister to us and enrich our lives.
! 1T is interesting to trace the
sources whence homes came; they at
first only ministered to the needs Of
men to protect them from the ele-
ments and from the possible dangers
which surrounded them. The hus-
bandmen lived in huts, the hunters n
caves and the Arabs on the desert in
tents; where nature provided stone,
the first homes were built of stones,
in the forests they were made OF
wood and on the desert where neither
wood nor stone was available, the
tents were made of the skins of ami
mails"

Fine Architecture Here.


Hiss Brown then traced the develop
ment OF architecture by some of it's
forms and drew a clear distinction
between mechanical arts and fine arts.
Sue explained why America has no
distinctive style of architecture and
said: "The three great principles Of
architecture are stability, utility and
beauty. am told that the builders
of the power house here, built with
no idea Of any particular architectural
design, they built for strength and
utility, along the line of least resist
ance and the result Is building OF
real classic beauty"
She then spoke Of the architectural
value of the Baker residence and said:
This building is perfect example
Of the Italian renaissance. The
straight lines Of the building and win
dows in line. and the balcony all
conform to this style. The inlay OF
brick forming a frieze, and the bal
istrade on the roof line are added to
give grace to what might otherwise
!have been severely plain structure,
lalthough architecturally correct.
Above the entrance the three windows

sance." ,e-
The interior OF the house as Miss
Brown explained is of the Italian
Renaissance, blended with some char
acteristics of the French period Of
Louis XIV. AS illustrative of this
French touch was sited Mrs. Bakers
handsome French parlor. which is
done in rose and soft shade of gray
with the gold furniture characteristic
of that period The room is a perfect
gem with its satin tapestry and eX-
quisite curtains.
Decorations of Walls.
