CANTERBURY WOMEN'S CLUB LECTURE ON EliVI'T To members of the Canterbury Women's Club who had the pleasure of seeing the lantern slides of Egypt shown by Mr C. H. E. Graham on Saturday night, the slides connected with women in Egypt must have been of great interest. The Egyptian lattices of picturesque mushreboah work, which distmguishes the women's quarters or luuems. wtic shown above stores and on \a.ious buildings, but the most lasting monument shown was that of the_ "* Deir-el Bahari—the valley of the tombs of kings. This was the inspiration of a woman —Queen Hatusu. This Queen, probably one of the first of the suftiagcttes, had deiinite masculine ways, and among other things which she attested was a beard, said Mr Giaham. The valley of tombs, covered for years bv sand, and uncovered in 1!>0/, was -shown with its various passages and carvings. Unlike the carvings in temples, the carvings on the corridors were of every-day life, it having been the belief that the tomb was but a place where the Pharaoh rested 101 «.* time. In the temples everything was invested with divinity, said Mr Graham. . The mummy case of a priestess wno had placed a curse upon the disturbers of her tomb, was also shown, and the lecturer pointed out that by a series of coincidences practically every owner of the case had died a violent death. Close up views of the great pyramid of Cheops, and of Chephren and ot the step pyramid of Sakkhara were shown, the magnitude of Cheops being described by Mr Graham when he explained that its base was almost as lame as Svdenham Park, and its heigh.!, twice the height of the Cathedral and the height of the tower on top of that. Much of the outside casings had been taken oft' and used for building, he said. The Sphinx. 70 feet in height from its paws to its head, and reclining statues of Rameses 11., 08 to 70 leet in length, and the vocal memnoti were examples shown of the monuments. thousands of years old. Mr Graham attributed their preservation to the climate, which he said was kind to stones, for while the varying temperatures of England and other countries had played havoc with stonework, the Egyptian stones fatolder were still fairly well preserved. Valuable old papyri 3000 or 4000 years old, buried in the sand, had not perished, and bodies of ordinary people, not. mummified, had been found in the sand. From old carved stones found there historians had been able to gain an immense amount of information. For that reason, said Mr Graham, more is known of tiie history of Egypt 5000 or 6000 years ago than is known of our own ancestors 900 or 1000 years ago. In the absence of flic president i.Mrs Tosswill) Mrs Stephen Parr expressed the thanks of members to Mr Graham and his assistant for his interesting lecture. Supper was served at the conclusion of the entertainment.
WORK FOR ART MRS ROSA SAWTKI.L HON'ol UKD Mrs F. Rosa Sawtell. who for many j cars has been a prominent contributor to art in Christehurch, will leave pHortlv for England. On Saturday evening. at a meeting of the New Zealand Society of Artists, il was announced that she had presented the society with a tea service. Mr W. Basil Honour, who presided, referred to Mrs Saw', ell's generosity to young students of art and her constant willingness to assist all art institutions. She had assisted the New Zealand Society in many ways, and it was the earnest hope of all members that she would return tc the Dominion. Professor James Shelley, the lecturer for the evening, stated that Mrs Sawtell was one of the most kindly and enthusiastic members of the Christehurch society, and was ever ready to help the cause of art in its many forms. She had been largely responsible for the introduction of community feeling among artists. The society existed to provide mutual inspiration. and for this object Mrs Sawtell had worked whoie-h"artedly. She would be greatly missed in art circles, for she was practically a foundation member of the Society for Imperial Culture. The artists' society could not allow her to leave New Zealand without some token of esteem. $ Professor Sheiley then presented Mrs Sawtell with a book on English \ water-colours. FAREWKLI.
