well known in Americas, which gives
an intimate touch to their coming.
An Easter Egg hunt was planned
for Good Friday afternoon al the
Community Club house to which ali
the children of Americas are look
ing forward with keen anticipation.
The Art Exhibit which will be
given the latter part of April at tnr
Community Club house Also came up
for discussion, when plans were com
pleted for thr exhibition Of zoe
beautiful piA,4fes. Art catalogues
will be on <Tef at the club house
which will ,Aylder the showing mors
intelligent those who have studied
pictures cagually. L was piGnncG
to make this event a great occasion
with people from the surrounding
town participating. Children will
be admitted without charge in the
afternoon, if accompanied by a
teacher Or another person interested
in the Art Exhibit. Admission OF
children free for the purpose OF
stimulating interest in the works of
the great masters. 1t is felt that
if children begin early in life the
study of good paintings, the culture
of splendid music and the reading
of good literature, a foundation
has been formed upon which the su
perstructure of life may be per
manent fixture. Already the walls
of the Grammar School are hung
with copies of great masterpieces
which English and reading, which
has inculcated in their youthful
minds a love for the fine and beau
tiful.
Following the unfolding of plan:
connected with the activities of the
club, splendid program was given
with Mrs. Frank Anderson giving
the paper on the correlation OF
Burne-Jones - Representation.
in this paper was portrayed the
very close relationship which exists
between great painters, great poets
and great musicians, and the influ.
ence which these beauties have upon
the human race.
Following this Miss Martha
Whcatley told Of the work of Burno-
Jones in the picture which was dis
played, The Golden Stairs" 1t
was disclosed why the picture was
painted, and q most intimate touch
was brought out by the reading OF
some of BUne-Jones' letters. That
Miss Wheatley is SO deeply student
Of pictures and their creators, and
tells of their work in a charming
manner, makes this feature one OF
the most delightful Of the programs.
Mrs. James w. Harris, Jr., read
excerpts from writings concerning
Sullivan and his dainty musical
writings. "The Mikado," which has
been sung in song and story so long,
grows dearer to the ear as the years
pass. Guests heard gems from this
opera on the Victrola, as well as
others of his celebrated musical
compositions, and all united in sing
ing Onward, Christian Soldiers,
the music of which was composed by
Sullivan.
Rev. James B. Lawrence gave Il
talk on Tennyson. Being deep
student Of the great poets, Mr.. Law.
renee was in possession of facts
which rendered him altogether capa-
Bile of portraying the beauties of
Tennyson's writings, as we'll as call
ing attention to the fact of many Of
his shortcomings. Delightful bits
of poems were read by Mr.. Law
renee in a manner which easily por-
trayed his familiarity with the great
ideas of Tennyson.
A large number of interested
members and friends heard the
splendid program, and evidence
are of enthusiasms are displayed by
the increased attendance at each
program.
