speech OF the Consul General Mrs. Ralston,
1t will be remembered was the author Of that
graceful production, "The Queens Jewels"
an international poem recently recited at the
Woman's National Press Association reception
to the delegates of the International Confer
ence. DR.. 7. S. Verdi, OF this city, a distin-
guished member OF the Society of Italian Vet

is due the suggestion of "The White Cross OF

Miss Muratore 1t was received with the greatest
enthusiasm by the veterans. Next week it will
