RESEARCH CLUB TOLD ABOUT ‘‘WINTERTHUR” The Research club had its meeting Monday in the I & M social room. Mrs. L. A. Cowens gave a very interesting report on “Winterthur,” a restored colonial home flow opened to the public as a museum by the DuPont family. Winterthur, which is in New Castle county, Delaware, was named by its first occupant, James A. Biderman, for the city of Winterthur, Switzerland, his family home. The house eventually passed to the DuPont family as Mrs. Biderman was Evelina DuPont. The house was the home of the DuPonts through 1950. The estate was deeded to the Winterthur corporation, a charitable and educational foundation, established in 1930. The museum was formally opened to the public in November, 1951. There are 100 rooms of rare antiques, an overwhelming collection of art which offers a share of cultural richness unequalled anywhere for better understanding of U. S. history; giving a broader meaning to early I life at its best and opening new vistas for its enjoyment today. The Winterthur gardens combine vision, patience and an artist’s sense of color which achieve a harmonious blending of color and tones. Although Winterthur gardens are the product of creative effort, they convey the impression of complete naturalness. Something blossoms at Winterthur every month of the year, but it is in the spring that the beauty of, it is at its height. Every wood-1 land tree or plant grown here is found in Delaware. The next meeting will be November 5 with Mrs. A. R. Holthouse. Ward Calland will speak on his trip to Russia. All members are urged to be present. Our Lady of Victory discussion club will meet at the home of Mrs. Elmo Miller, Homestead No. 7, at 8 o’clock Thursday evening.
