"THE BEAUTIFUL IN ART"
Subject Of Address at the Fortnlshtly
Monday

A very interesting and worthwhile
program was presented at the Fort
nightly meeting on Monday afternoon
under the direction of the program
committee. The speaker, the Rev. j.
Alex Donald of Poultney, this state,
addressed the club on the subject:
"Apprec alton of the Beautiful in Art
His subject was one which would ma
turally appeal to all who love and ap-
preciate any form Of art, but the en-
thusiasm and whole-heartedness of the
speaker made strong appeal to all.
In opening his address, Mr.. Donald
touched upon the great and beneficient
influence of the va ious forms of art
upon the everyday life of the people.
Sordidness, littleness and meanness
must need disappear in the presence
of true beauty. To almost everyone,
beauty in some form makes an appeal.
Likew Sc, most people find some en-
joyment in one or all of the various
forms of art; literature, music, scul-
pture and painting. Each is but form
of expression through which one can
come into close touch with the master
SPIT Us OL IHe WoIlu. FROM Ihe speth-
er's point of view, those lives are
richest which are most truly apprecia-
tive of beauty in all its forms.
A most interesting part of the pro.
gram was an exhibit of paintings from
the speakers personal collection. re-
presenting the work of some of the
ablest American artists, and group of
miniatures of exquisite beauty. Mr..
Donald, in explaining the points of
special artistic value in the various
pictu es. touched upon some of the
vital principles underlying the appreci
alton of all forms of art. The whole
discussion was inspiring and greatly
appreciated by the members and guests
of the Fortnightly.
