Her first invention was the Gothic form. France has the temperament of the Latin and the mind of the Teuton, Mr. Watson remarked. No French move- ment is ever finished. France has the most universal spirit of any European country. There one has the feeling of | being at home and has joy in self-ex- pression. Three of the French prov- inces, Brittany, Alsace, and Basque, show a marked contrast to the rest of | . . . | France in their character and spirit. | France presents a delightful domestic | landscape, but also excels in its inter- esting court life. While England is a man's world, France is a world, Mr. Watson pointed out. Her most noteworthy contribution to art was the creation of the Gothic cathe- dral. Pictures French Cathedrals Mr. Watson showed interesting slides of a number of French cathedrals and told something of Chartres, Rheims, which withstood eight months' bom- bardment during the war, and Notre Dame, the mother cathedral, which is the most important historically, showing the transition from Romanes- que to Gothic. France had over 65,000 Gothic sculptors. The Gothic work was done during the late tenth, the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Among the French painters, Mr. Watson mentioned Charles Le Brun, Fragonard, and Watteau, who was the most French of the French painters. Among the great masters were Jules Breton, Rosa Bonheur, Corot, Claude Monet, and Montecelli. Among the moderns, Mr. Watson discussed Boutet de Montville and De Chaubin. Mod- ern decorative artists include De Busey and Lalicque. Among her sculptors, Delacroix and Rodin rank as great. Mr. Watson spent some time on great buildings of France, L'Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, Palais Royal, Luxembourg palace, Tuileries, Louvre, and the Madeleine. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Allen of Mel- rose avenue, are absent from Kenil- worth on an extended trip to Cuba. | woman's | Need Is Great for Clothing for War Vets in Hospital (Contributed) Women from the Neighbors of Ken- ilworth visited Great Lakes hospital this week and were met with an over- whelming cry for overcoats, clothes, shoes, and underwear, so we again ap- peal to our generous friends who may read this call. At this time when our thoughts turn to the holiday season, let us make room on our Christmas list for some family who needs us very much. The United States Veterans bureau, 111 North Canal street, has the inform- ation regarding families of disabled veterans drawing no compensation, and will be glad to give us as many names as we agree to care for. The Tenth district of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs urges all members to become Good Fellows to make the sick boys happy by helping their loved ones. Further information may be had from Mrs. M. H. Dement, Kenilworth 1641, Mrs. Gilbert Kelly, Kenilworth 1006, or Mrs. Joseph Joyce, Kenilworth 2134. If convenient please bring clothes, et cetera, to Mrs. Joyce, 530 Essex road, Kenilworth, or phone any of the above named and they will call for articles. The willingness and generosity of the club women can be counted upon always, so surely this Christmas will be a wonderful one for these worthy boys for whom Armistice day is only a date. The war is over for us, but never will be for many of them. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde P.
