GeOyg Jensen Pieces ShOgCn Al Meeting

oeors Jensen, the famous Danish silver craftsmen who supplied the royal families of Europe, always combined practicability with beauty, Miss Elsie M, Cane, of that New York firm, told meeting of the Junior League yesterday at the El- tom A tea followed her address,
 The speaker, a woman of charm, ing personality gave a short biogra- phy of the well-known craftsmen, his work, ideals ambitions, and suc- cess. The lecture was illustrated by a display of silver, comprising Jew- eiry, various household articles, and flatware, from the Georg Jensen collection.
 Miss Cane Is not unknown to Connecticut residents, An artist of ability, she was In 1898, in charge of the exhibition of the Lime Rock Art Association,
 Georg Jensen, born In Oopenhag- en, Denmark, in le60 did not begin to work with silver until he was S6 years old, Miss Cane told the group Though he reflected a definite ar. tlstic flair In his early youth, his father felt artists were born and not made, and insisted he become an apprentice to master Danish craftsmen. Upon completing his apprenticeship, he studied sculpture, and later opened Q studio in cera- micSg
 During Q trip to England, the Danish artist became interested In Industrial art, and upon his re- urn to his native country turned ut Q few pieces of silver, which ir1- .nediately attracted the attention of Professor Emil Hanover, of Copen- hagen. The Jensen skill and eXecu- ton were deemed so transcendent, even his first pieces were immedi- Ately placed in museums, Miss Cane said.
 Since he was e master of the form, proportion and the art of the curve, Mss Cane pointed out that the fa- nous craftsmen always copied from the nature, using for design the dewdrop, shells, fish, or flowers. He was also the first Silversmlth 10 use the hammered effect.
 Many of the museums in Europe, including the Louvre, and also the Museum of Art and History now exhibit Jensen pieces, the speaker related. At one time, the silver smith worked with 250 collahoratorS, supplying both Europe and Amer lea with his fine silver, He died in 1885 without ever visiting America.
 At a short meeting preceding Miss CAne'S address, 1t was announced that the Marionette show, featuring "The Crow and the Fox" which will take place at the Women'S Club on May 2 and 8, will be open to the public. A nominal fee will be asked, Mrs. Charles Colt heads the com mittee in charge.

The highway commission has adopt
