Barnard, luncheon committee chairman, will present Miss Kane. Assisting with arrangements are Mrs. Charles J. Van Tassel, League of Women Voters member; Mrs. E. J.

» » » ~ » » History will be brought to life in the 1200 historic lamps illustrating 20,000 years of man-made light to be displayed in L. S. Ayres Auditorium as an attraction of the Children’s Museum Guild exhibit Monday through Saturday. Dr. Charles F. Brown, New York archaeologist, who assembled the amazing museum of lighting devices, chronologically arranged and captioned for study, is to speak at 2 p. m. daily except Saturday on “200 Centuries of Lighting.” Beginning with the crude vessels of the Stone Age the collection follows the course of civilization through rare examples of ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Jewish, Greek aud Roman lighting inventions. Rare pottery pieces of 600 B. C. and exquisite bronzes of 400 B. C. are included along with lamps of the early Christian Era. Shell and stone lamps designed for burning fats with moss, pith and rushes for wicks precede the devices used at the time of Athens’ greatness. Then come the lamps of the first century B. C. and the bronze lamps on tripods Nero's time. The beautiful hanging lanterns of old Spain, German iron lamps, lovely Italian Lucerne lamps and early French types are expressive of their part of the story of man’s progress. The lighting epic traverses the sea to the new world with an unbelievably varied group of illuminating devices introduced into this country by the first settlers — Dutch, French, English and Flemish. Included are the “smutz lomp” of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the iron fire basket used to light the streets of Boston in 1690. The latter was filled with burning brands and gave an uncertain and flickering light. Swing receptacles known as “Iron Betty” and “Phoebe” lamps are flashbacks in the picture. Revolutionary lamps and candlesticks, the gas lights of 1821 and the long line of coal oil lamps, finally dimmed with the arrival of Edison's electric light of 1879, are further incidents in the tale. Benjamin Franklin made an important contribution to the whale oil lamp of the Colonial period by putting two tubes where formerly one had been, thus doubling the light power. His burner made more light from one lamp than could be achieved from two of the older type because he had discovered better combustion. Mrs. Donald Jameson is president of the board of trustees of the Children’s Museum and Miss Catherine Lapenta is Guild president. Patronesses for the “20,000 Years of Lighting and International Dolls” exhibit are Mesdames Jack Adams, Philip Adler Jr, Raymond D. Brown, Ernest C. Barrett, Henry W. Buttolph, Demarchus C. Brown, T. A. Bell, Robert Berner, C. P. Brant, Charles Buschmann, Arthur Baxter, Walter Brant, William S. Eisenlohr, Alfred S. Etcheverry, Cora Fletcher and Mrs. Robert Fulton. Others are Mesdames Theodore B.
