Prof. Hebrard ectures For French Group "The monestery, the feudal fort- ress, and the fortification of an en- tire city" were the most important forms of architecture during the Mid- dles Ages, according to Prof. Jean Hebrard's lecture to the Cercle Fran- cais group from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. yes- terday. Professor Hebrard began by tracing the history of architecture from primitive days through the Middle Ages. Building, in its first form arose from a dire necessity on the part of the people for shelter. Archi- tecture became more highly de- veloped, however, when it began man- ifesting itself through religion. The architecture inspired by Chris- tianity in Frace reaches its height in the 13th century. At this century, Medevial architecture gained a sud- den impetus at the heart of the king- dom, in the cities of Ile de France, and quickly absorbed the Roman- esque which was the prevailing type of architecture in the 11th and 12th century by the introduction of tech- nical and decorative innovations of considerable importance.I From the technical point of view, the two new features which should be noted are the introduction of the pointed arch and the use of the fly- ing buttresses. The resulting effect from these innovations was that the exterior of the church acquired a majestic beauty; and in the interior the columns, heightened by the ribs of the vaulting, resembled an im- mense forest flooded with light. Professor Hebrard gave this lec- ture in French, addressing a consid- erable number of students as well as professors. He was introduced to the group by Prof. Rene Talamon of the French Department. The illus- trations which he presented along with the lecture heightened the in- terest. This is the third lecture which Professor Hebrard has given before the Cercle Francais. A. A. U. W.

ENTERTAINS AT HOME Miss Alice Lloyd, Dean of women, entertained the members of Pi Lamb- da Theta last night at her home on Washtenaw Avenue. Miss Eunice Wead gave an interesting talk on book collecting. At all times of the year, gloves are a necessary and important ac- cessory but at no time are they more in the limelight than during the late winter season. One of the most popular styles is the pigskin glove. It is attractive in either a light color or a darker dyed shade and blends well with any type of sports coat. They are ex- ceedingly practical as well in that they can be washed innumerable tines without spoiling their texture or shape. In addition to all this, they are warm without being bulky. Another comfortable glove is the leather, fur cuffed one. They may be lined either with fur or with wool. The cuff adds a decorative note as well as being a safeguard against the coldest winds. This style would harmonize nicely with fur- trimmed galoshes. Knit loves Add Color Mittens are always popular both for their possibilities in color and for the ease with which ane can take them off and on in hasty goings and comings from one class to an- allenVdar Of Leag~ue Activity Is D istributed The second League Calendar, a bi- monthly publication of the League, will appear on campus today, accord- ing to Florence Harper, '36, chairman of the publicity committee.

Bartlett, pro- fessor of public nursing, was em- barked upon when she flew during Christmas Vacation to Mexico. Her trip took her from Chicago through Kansas City, San Antonio, Browns- ville, Tampico and on to Mexico City. Her immediate reaction to the new sensation of flying was anything but favorable. She says that she felt as if she "had taken a big drink of something that she might not like." Leaving Chicago the temperature was 2 below zero and to add to the first uneasiness the engine kept miss- ing. They finally turned around after circling above Chicago for half an hour and landed, finding ice on the carburetor. Having cleared up the difficulty they took off again, landing intermittently at Kansas City and Dallas, Texas. Here again they encountered difficulty, for they had missed the San Antonio plane. Forced to take the train they ran into a "Texas Norther". .nd its resulting washouts all along the road. Flies Across Gulf At Brownsville, Mrs. Bartlett again took to the air in the Pan-American' plane which she describes as a "huge silver bird." For some time the route carried them across the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. According to Mrs. Bartlett following the curved shore- line of the tropical forests was one of the most interesting points of the journey. They left the coast at Tampico,. Mexico, and' flew inland over an 11,000-foot mountain range. "There was discomfort connected with cross- ing the range," says Mrs. Bartlett. "At 11,000 feet you could see nothing but clouds above and below you with here and there rocky crags piercing the heavy mist." Soon they dropped to a lower elevation and flew over old silver mines and great expanses of tropical jungle. Two years ago Mrs. Bartlett made the same trip from New York by boat,f taking the train inland from Vera I Cruz to Mexico City over a route L [U.

The contrast of snow capped mountains and tropical for- ests is "beautiful from the train and even more so when viewed from above," according to the professor. Visits Indian Village While in Mexico City Mrs. Bartlett visited many small Indian villages nearby. On market day she went to Taluco, a small village about 50 miles from the city. Each week the Indians come in from miles around to sell their produce.. Their art work she describes as "intricate and beautiful." Innumerable handmade pieces of pottery and complicated designs in brilliant lacquers are displayed for sale. The Indians make their own dyes and use them to color their hand woven textiles. Woolen bed- spreads and wonderful embroidered designs carried out in cotton and linen, are all brought in each week for the tourist trade. Mrs. Bartlett compared the primitive designs to those of the East Indian and Scan- dinavian works of art. In her tour of the market places she also visited the famous Thieves' Market and that of the Carmen Cathedral. Colonies Are Interesting Mrs. Bartlett describes the Amer- ican and English colonies in Mexico as "interesting and entertaining." She spent a few days in Taxco, the famous "artists' paradise." The town she says, clings to the hills at an ele- vation of 7,500 feet. "I was forced to sit down often at that elevation, for the least bit of exertion leaves one breathless," admitted Mrs. Bart- lett. In contrast to the trip down the return flight was uneventful. Leav- ing Mexico at 1 p.m. Saturday she arrived in Chicago at 6 a.m. Sunday. The constant communication withu the ground to insure knowledge of weather conditions, the individual flash lights in the plane, and the tiny individual ventilators were points in the airplane that fascinated Mrs. Bartlett. She found her first airplane trip very enjoyable and now has an- other journey to add to her long list. 6 1_ r' Home 'ivision Will Meet For Discussion Today There will be a meeting of the Home Division of the Ann Arbor Woman's Club in the home of Mrs. F.
