1924.26 March 25 1924

Regular Meeting. Mar. 25, 1894.

The regular meeting of the Tuesday Club was held March twenty fifth in upper Eliot Hall, at the usual hour. The President opened the meeting, and in the absence of Miss Annie Seaverns, Chairman of the Art Committee, introduced the speaker Mr. Charles Howard Walker. Mr. Walker is a well known architect, and the President of the Society of Arts and Crafts, and his lecture on "Our Minor Arts" was a masterpiece. Not only did he speak of the artistic and financial value of the work done in silver, metal, pottery, weaving, and jewelry, but also of the psychological benefit derived from working with the hands and mind on something that one loves to do. There is no chance for introspection, for strict attention to the job is necessary for perfect results. In regard to color, his explanation of the difference between contrast and conflict was especially clever. An exhibition of handiwork done by club members gave a great deal of pleasure and brought a surprising amount of

unsuspected talent to light. Beautiful embroideries, drawn work, hand made lace, bead bags, crocheted and appliqued bed spreads, hand painted china, pictures in oil and water colors, portrait and color photography, uniquely dressed dolls, novelty place cards, and colored lantern slides, made a truly remarkable display. Tea was served in the lower hall and the room was unusually attractive with a large bunch of forsythia on the piano, a center piece of lavender and pale pink stocks on the large tea table, and jonquils on the smaller tables. The pourers were Mrs. Channing Souther, Miss Carolyn David, Mrs. Sydney R. Blakely, Mrs. Walter C. Durfee*, and Mrs. Joseph A. Locke.

Respectfully submitted, Lucy E. Henderson. Rec. Sec.
