Dinner Is Given By Alumnae Group The Grand Rapids room in the Michigan League was the setting, Wednesday night, for a dinner of the united groups of the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti branch of the American As- sociation of University Women. After the dinner the company adjourned to the Ethel Fountain Hussey lounge for a program in charge of Mrs. Karl D. Malcolm. Mrs. A. A. James sang 'While Shep- herds Watched Their Flocks by Night,' and Neidlinger's 'The Birth- day of a King.' The group then joined in the singing of carols.

Not only is the ruler well sup- plied with ammunition, but with sev- eral servants stationed near, just in case. Although lions were the favorite game of the ancients, other animals were also hunted. Some wall paint- ings and reliefs show boar hunts, some chasing deer, other eagles, and sever-j al from China portray elephant and giraffe hunts. These scenes of hunting are espe- cially suitable to this period of his- tory, for artists then had the ability of picturing the action of animals very vividly, while their attempts on humans were stilted and unnatural.

It was not until the Middle Ages that they realized the futility of their ef- forts and adopted the holiday as a celebration of Christ's birth. The real date of Christ's birth is very uncertain. Historians do not believe, however, that it was in the winter, since this is the rainy season in Palestine, and shepherds undoubt- edly would not have been "watching their flocks in the fields," at this time of year. Germans First To Use Trees The Christmas tree, shining with lights and bright with tinsel and or- naments, is the most striking and relfresentative of our decorations. This custom came to us from Ger- ~ niany, the land of trees. There, every I home, no matter how humble, has its tree, decorated, as has long been the custom with gilded nuts, apples, sweets, goldfoil, and colored paper. Trees were revered in Germany long ago, since they were so closely associated with the agricultural life r s .I z r . 1 J i 1 1 ' L graphs by Josephine Hadley, '36, in a talk prepared for a class period in Islamic art, taught by Prof. Mehemet Aga-Oglu. Hunting Scenes More than any other portrayal of the life of the times, hunting scenes are by far the most prevelent. This is explained by the fact that hunting was a royal occupation in the ancient courts, and day after day was spent in the saddle on the chase. The earliest example of a hunting scene in art is seen in a terra cotta relief from Babylonia, dating back between 2500 to 3000 B.C. Typical of the art of this period, the portrayal is very crude. It shows a man on foot, kneeling on one knee with his bow drawn. Another scene is from the twelfth dynasty in Thebes. Here, an- other man on foot with his bow and arrows is seen. Surrounding him is a variety of animals and a number of hunting dogs . . . the introduction of hounds in the chase. In Mycenian art are a number of very small and intricately designed objects which show the vivid action of the hunting. One gold gem has a great display of action, for the horses of the hunters are in full gallop. An interesting feature is the way in which the horses' legs are pictured, for none of them are in the ground. Another famous art piece from this period is a gold dagger richly inlaid. On the blade of the dagger is a scene of a lion hunt. Assyrian Influence Ashirn'aspial and Ashurbanipal, rulers during the Assyrian period of art, were so fond of hunting that they killed off all of the available game in the nearby vicinity. As a result, lions were sent from the South and kept in cages to be released at the discretion of the king. During the royal hunt, the king rode in a char- riot drawn by four horses and pro- tected from the sun by an attendant carrying an umbrella. One wall re- lief shows a lion being released from a cage. An attendant crouches above GIRL RESERVES A party of more than 80 Girl Re- serves of the Ann Arbor Young Wom- en's Christian Association will go caroling tonight at 7:30.
