thetic beauty, thus removing the
Mid-Victorian STIFFNESS. A great
deal of the furniture was secured in
Cuba and Guatemala and though
of wicker, is extremely fragile
looking. The various pieces such
as love seat, hat stand, rockers,
etc. which were used during the
late nineteenth century are all
here. And yours truly felt that
there was a great Sturdiness in

In the reception room, beautiful
Renoir flower prints hang on the
walls and are recessed in special
ly designed frames. The unique
note here, is that they lightly pick
up the central color of the picture.
Under one is a shadow box with
a bouquet made of tiny, pastel
colored shells and woven into an
intricate floral pattern.
To the left, on a small table be-
meath truly golden Renoir-is
a glass dome set on a magohany
bowl, with tiny legs and it covers
"a delicate bouquet Of flowers
made of minute shells. This will
recall to many the old-fashioned
meiSsen baskets.
Unusual Gaughin prints in the
same handmade frames (master-
pieces by Paul Kruger of the Ha-
vana Art Galleries) hang on the
walls in the end room. These pic
lures represent the Gaughin of the
almost pastoral school, which was
his early work, before he discover
ed the deep and vibrant cOlOrS of
the South Seas which he was to
employ so successfully later and
which were such a departure from
the prevailing art" at that time.

Going up the stairs, recalled that
many of the Recio family-a fine
and gentle people whose name is
so prominent in the settling of Our
Town-from its earliest history -
had used these steps to-the second
floor.
Here the motif continued, but
prints of Gaughin's later period
hung on the wall. The first room
| entered was not quite so highly
styled-it seemed to be a transi-
ton room-a bridge - and so, il
was that / learned that here many
committees interested in the civic
projects of Our Town met. To the
