Pauline Goode at the Junior Col- tefe Tuesday afternoon, with 21 members present. Mrs. Goode gave a most interesting discussion of "Cultural Latin America." "The work done by Mexico to preserve her indigenous art is of primary importance to the student of Hispanic culture," she sad. "Elsa Rugo's art school in Taxco shows the inherent love for art of the. Mexican children.

This was the forerunner of the Mexican outdoor painting schools. Children are given opportunities for self-expression. The government furnishes materials and the children are encouraged to paint what they see, and they do. "Mexico's work to preserve her national folk-lore is especially interesting," Mrs. Goode continued.

"Cultural missions are sponsored by the government to perpetuate her native customs and art. Professors are sent to learn the different Indian arts, weaving, -painting, pottery, songs and dances. Then they go to the different communities teaching teachers, so that they in furn may instruct the children in the arts of their forefathers, i "The radio is playing an important part in the educational system of Mexico. Radios are Installed in the most remote schools, and programs are broadcast in eighteen different dialects, making it possible for thousands of Indians to be instructed in history, folklore and modern living. "In discussing present artistic currents we cannot 'separate North and South America completely, there is truly only a Pan-America." she said.

"In the upward tiend of South America's creative movement, its indigenous culture, the product of centuries of ancient life is of vital importance. In this regard, Peru holds one of the distinctive places in the life of she Americas and its ancient aridttais will provide a never-ending treasure. The past of Peru is one of the most eloquent expressions of beauty to be found on the American continents. One aspect of modern life which is destined to bring an important new impulse into the cut- ural life of all parts of South America is the strength and ability of women. In Lima women are playing a role of growing importance in artistic development.

"In Chile one finds the intense interest in her artistic development. Distinct importance is being given to the arts in she schools, especially in music. Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil each contributing to the art, music and literature of Pan-America." Speaking of the silver smiths jf South America, Mrs. Goode reminded her fellow club members that while the hand-wrought silver is now treasured, not so long these were not regarded as ments or even is household treasures, but were used for pots, pans, cups and tankards in daily use. Rarely, she saicl, was a piece ot silverware of Spanish-American origin intended as an ornament, since silver was the most common metal.

A number of slides showing South American scenes were displayed on I a screen at the close of the pn gram.

W. Johnson, 611 Levee street. The silver tea was the second annual exhibition of antiques sponsored by the Guild.

Beautiful art objects, some dating as far back as the 16th century, choice examples of early American art, souvenirs remines- cent of early Texas, and handicraft representative of ancient and modem Mexico, vied for attention. A triptych, owned by Mrs. W. E. McDavitt.

which dates probably to the 16th century still legible on the most interesting art objects. The three-paneled picture, with its exquisitely carved figures of ivory, has an inscription written in Latin of the. 16t hcentury still leyible on the heavy parchment fastened to the. back. Fans, valuable aids to the coquette of long ago, were interesting relics included in the display.

An interesting framed fan, belonging to Mrs. Dennett, another which was the wedding fan used by Mr. Dennett's grandmother, were suggestive of romance as were the quaint lap desks, beautifully carved of rich woods. One richly lacquered, which was once used by Sarah Bernhardt formed a part of a highly interesting collection loaned by Mrs. R.

A. Porter. Another lap desk, fascinating in its appointments, was the property of L. W. Cain's grandmother in 1836.

Beautiful antique jewelry, displayed in glass cases on the porch, illustrated workmanship of an earlier era. Attention of guests was particularly attracted to a set of amethysts into which diamonds had been cut to form a delicate design through a skilful process that has been lost to modern lapidaries. Interesting ornaments fashioned from hair are also reminiscent of an art that is no longer followed. Both are possessions of Mrs. Prank Davis as are other interesting.

objects of jewelry including silver handkerchief holder, flower holder, debutante and wedding handkerchiefs which hark back three generations ago. Suggestive of much greater antiquity is the script on yellowed plant leaves found in excavating a Siamese temple and known to be over three centuries old. Real Roman glass, made into a modern necklace, and reproduction of a bracelet worn by an Egyptian princess, the original of which is in the Cairo museum, were other fascinating jewelry objects. An amethyst necklace over 150 years old and delicate miniatures painted on ivory and on porcelain were of special interest among the varied collection loaned by Mrs. R.

B. Creagcr. A 16th century rosary and a French medallion, owned by Mrs. Pauline Goode, and a coral necklace worn by the great-grandmother of L. D.

Cain and R. Loew were among other striking objects in the jewel case. Ancient art of many nations was represented in the various displays including a sword loaned by Mrs. J. T.

Canales which was made in Toledo. Spain, wrought iron from Italy, a chest of silver from Austria-Hungary; and a Russian samovar, the latter the property of Mrs A. Dimmick. 'A shot pouch, testimonial of the esteem in which Gen. Sam Houston held Lieutenant A.

H. Cronkrite, is representative of a romantic era in Texas history. The pouch, loaned by Mrs. John G. Stark, was de by Indians for Houston dur- ing the Civil War to be used as a gift for his aide.

Dishes, glassware and china made up a particularly interesting part of the display, craft of many lands and eras being represented. An especially interesting vegetable dish once belonged to Madame Tarnava daughter of the original grantee of Port Isabel who resided in Matamoros in 1830. A huge platter and spoons made from silver dollars, were interesting among relics loaned by Mrs. J. K.

Wells. Handsome vases, the property of Mrs John Closner, also attracted much interest. Wedding dresses of several gen erations ago. christening robes worn by three generations of 'a Brownsville family, and delicate slipper: were examined, the fine work and voluminous width attracting particular interest. Native -handicraft from Mexico and art objects, largely from cathedrals and churches in the southern republic, were outstanding features of the display.

Beautifullj carved woods, giant canliestlcks lovely glassware, and many othe: objects were much admired. special interest was the woven zarape. made by Indians at San Miguel de Allende near Saltillo, which won the first prize for textiles at a Paris exposition in 1900. The zarape is the property Mrs. Johnson, whose home afforded au ideal background for the display since it is furnished with handsome specimens of antique furniture anc enriched by many valuable art ob jecta.

Winning especial admiration the guests was the porcelain jewe box on the mantelpiece and thi painting above, made on copper am dating to 1V54. Another outstanding painting, also the property of tn hostess, is over three hundred year; old. Mrs. Johnson assisted in recciv ing the guests, wearing a "china polana" costume the national cos turns of Maxico, the red skirt bein entirely covered with flashing len tajueles while the bodice with it Aztec designs was woven entirel; of beads.
