legal Representatives of the holders

Symbolic Doors Found
On Old Spoleto Homes

Sometimes ruin or picture gives
the beholder q deeper insight into an
age that is past than weeks spent in
the perusal of learned tones. Some
mute stone walls in the charming
Umbrian hill town of Spoleto reveal
more of the medieval mind than writ
ten treatise could convey. Here and
there on Spoleto's house fronts one sees
traces of three quite dissimilar door
ways now completely walled in. One is
very high. This was for centaur to
enter upon his horse. One Is very mar
row. That Is for the coffin OF the
dweller within. One is quite wide. That
is for the bride and groom when first
they enter their home. The gate OF
marriage, the gate of death and the
gate of the centaur-each had pro-
found significance for the medieval
Spoletan and he would be as lief have
perished as use the wrong door. His
house had almost no windows, and
there was seldom glass in those win
doWs. 1t was miSerably heated, but
SO compelling were the fears of the age
that these doors had to be maintained
for their respective purposes. When the
Renaissance freed mems minds from the
darkness of medievalism the new oc-
cupants of the houses walled in the
surplus doorways and INDUCED in win
dows The stamp Of medievalism re-
mains in the walls however, mute re-
minder Of the builders and Spoleto

A GROUP of charming water colors
"A by Susan B. Chase of this city Is
now on view in cases in the upper
atrium of the Corcoran Gallery Of Art.
The majority of the "a paintings set
forth are Cintra, Portugal, and were
made in that most romantic little city
last Summer when Mrs. Chase and a
few other accomplished painters worked
there under Henry B. SHELLS criticism
and guidance.
For those who know Cintra these
water colors will undoubtedly bring
back pleasant memories, and for those
who know it only by name they will
serve as more than an introduction.
Mrs Chase shows a most interesting
view of the old fortress on the hill top.
the little town ascending to its base; OF
the famous castle, of the narrow as
cending streets-all seen in the sparkle
of southern sunshine under bright blue
skies heightened in effect by floating
clouds. In these works Mrs. Chase's
manner Is exceedingly assured, her
method direct and forceful, the results
altogether pleasing.
The exhibit will remain on view until
January 6, and is we'll worth seeing.

Professional Women's Clubs here IS step in it's program for edu- eating ambitious girls.
 The plan, as outlined by Hester M. Smith, of Denver, Colo, chair man of the educational committee, would include a survey by clubs to discover resources for svoca- tional training afforded by the city or town, and of possible profess sions and businesses that the com munity could support.
 Groups and individuals would be studied for causes or success or failure. Types Of business and the possibilities of adjustments for success between women and business are other proposed sub iects of study.
 Continuance of it's educational program in behalf of girls who in- tend to enter the business field was recommended in the commit tees report, which suggested that:
 The education work of the na- tionai federation continue to in- elude the consideration of the pro- spect.ye buslne5s woman now in school. and that the standard, "A High School Education for Every Business Girl" be maintained.
 All clubs make a study of the difficulties of their own members and seek to encourage those who are making a supreme effort to advance"
 The problem of the especially promising young woman be studied and means devised whereby she may be found and helped to de- yelop the superior talents she po- sesses.
