Phllomathea met yesterday afternoon
for one Of the most interesting pro
grams of the year at the home OF Mrs
Russell G., Lowe, who conducted the
lesson Of the afternoon, Christmas in
Art" Mrs. Lowe traced the interesting
growth OF our Christmas celebration
from the r-distant pagan times to
the present customs, showing the rela-
tonShip between many OF the old re-
liglouS celebrations and that of our
own Chrlstan-born customs. She illus
trated her talk with number OF the
masterpieces OF the early renaissance
masters with the aid of the mirror
scope, which made the afternoon unus-
ually interesting and enjoyable. Start
ing with the story Of the nativity from
the Sctlptural standpoint, she connected
the natural events as they came, with
suitable quotations from the Bible.
The pictures as they were presented
were The Angel OF the Annunciation'
Carlo Dolce, "The Immaculate Con
ception" (Murillo), The Madonna of
the Maguificat" (BotticellD Holy
Night (Corregio) The latter was com
pared BY Mrs Lowe to the Nativity"
OF Murillo's, showing how the former
exceled in the wonderful handling of
light and shade
This was followed by four Madon-
naS-"The Madonna OF the Rocks"
(Leonardo da VincD, Madonna of the
Chair (RaphaeD, the most popular OF
the Madonnas; THE Sis,ine Madon-
ma (RaphaeO, the most famous, and
The Madonna OF the Olive Branch
(Niccolo Barabino), the latter not,
so well known as the others Taylor's
we'll known modern picture Of The
Three Wise Men From the East" was
shown with the microscope at the same
time that Mrs Lowe gave an i'm
pressiye quotation from The Glad
Evangel" by Kate Douglas Wiggin,
The program was concluded with the
reading by Mrs, Low OF "rhc Girl Who
Walked Without Fear" touching
Christmas story of immigrant life

tion of twenty-five reproductions Of
