Mrs. M. C. Hinds discussed early American architecture, reviewing in brief a book written by T. Talmadge on "History of Architecture." In that book the author says, "Architecture is like a series of vases, each filled at the river of life by human hands, a few exquisitely fashioned, many broken and rude, but each an expression of the hands that fashioned it ana of the souls that conceived it." "All architectural histories will tell you that the architecture or every age is the perfect reflection and expression of the culture ana life of the time," Mrs.

Hinds said. "Architecture is a language, a in which the artist ex- himself and which the people understand." Mrs. Hinds traced development of architecture in this country, telling that the buildings of colonists 200 years ago were designed to meet the limitations and stern necessities of the day. She classified the New England homes as New England, Colonial, Dutch Colonial and Southern Colonial. Architecture, she continued, advanced at a lively rate with the coming of the eighteenth century owing to the security of the home, rapid settlement of colonies, and increasing ease of communication and trade with the mother Greek revival in America started with the building of the Bank of Mrs.

Hinds said. "National buildings and state capitols were then without an exception in the Greek style as were the churches. Striking exceptions are the Washington Monument and the National Treasury Building." Mrs. Hinds concluded by naming Outstanding works of architecture of the nineteenth century and concluded with a brief discussion ot the American skyscraper, made possible by introduction of the steel frame work. Mrs.

Edwin Carter presented a paper on "Historic American Homes." Describing some of the historic homes as "mementos of the glor- --RUS past," Mrs. Carter presented BGictures as she described the Old 'Witch House in Salem, Aiden House, home of John and Pris- ci'lla Alden, in Dubury. the Hancock House near Lexington, Morris House in New York City Mt. Vernou. on the Potomac; Abingdon, birthplace of Nellie Custis, and Woodlawn, her home after her marriage to Major Lewis; Carlisle House, Alexandria, Va Arlington, old Lee Mansion now in Arlington National Cemetery; Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson; The Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson; the Longfellow homes, his birthplace in Portland and home purchased in Cambridge, in 1836 when he was professor of language and letters in Harvard; Fernside Farm, boyhood home of old Quaker poet, John Greenieaf Whittier; birthplace of Mark Twain in Florida, and later home in Hannibal.
