Brumidi's Capitol frescoes.
Briefly sketched was the life
and background of the man of
great artistic talent, an Italian
political refugee, who came to this
country in 1855 possessed of fer
Vor for freedom and a painting
magic which eliminated in. the
marvellous frescoes which picture
the outstanding moments in u. S.
history in imperishable art.
The technical aspects of murals
were related, and in detail Mrs.
Adair spoke of the "eye of the
dome" in the rotunda on which is
painted the masterpiece showing
the glorification of George Wash
ington. The inner circle has six
sections symbolizing life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" prin-
ciples of our government. The s.
900 square feet in the dome with
the concave, colored frescoe, show
13 maidens Is feet high represent

mes from mythology and highlights
lin American annals. Beneath this
is a frieze nine feet high and 300
feet in circumference in light and
dark technique, only recently fin
ished in imitation of sculpture,
completing the historic chronicle.
Of this picturesque, quiet, hard
working artist who died in Feb
ruary 1880, was said, $50 long
has Brumidi devoted his heart and
strength to the Capitol, that his
love and reverence for it is not
surpassed by even that of Michel

Another tribute was paid by Da-

who remarked, mo one man has
put more of his own reverence for
American liberty into the interior
decoration of our Capitol building
than has Americas adopted son,

Mrs. Whitaker has made many
coats of arms from Family Trees"

'Heraldry" its significance, and
what this type of decoration means
to one interested in her ancesery.
For the second part of her il

with flowers. Another of the speak
er's accomplishments, flower ar
ranging, was most adeptly proved
with her illustration, "A Spring
Wood Scene" in which she employ
ed daffodils, moss and pixies, as
she recited the poem "DaffodilS."
An Oriental touch was given TO
her second flower picture, when
she artistically placed Gala lilies
and white carnations in a large
turquoise cup, narrating the while,
the story of THE Turquoise Cup.
Recital of the poem Snow

Gale for the last of the series of
illustrated pictures, sketching in
