poetry. She has, first, what all women
prize above all things, and that is gen.
uine beauty, and she speaks French,
Italian, and German with fluency.
She is also a harpest Of exceptional
power, her execution being something
notable for woman who has just
passed her teens. She was at school
abroad for six years, in Paris, Berlin
and London, and has travelled over
Europe, besides spending several
months in the Holy Land. All this for
a woman who has not yet gotten be-
void her twenty-frst milestone is a
little unusual, even in this age of rapid
development
One Of Cardinal Gibbons last acts be-
fore en- barking on his late foreign trip
was to write to Miss Cunningham a
letter of praise for her recent book OF
poems, "The Ballad Of La Jeunesse
pleased to say that the work Of the poet
ess displayed ga high order Of literary
merit" Through a large part Of the
products of this gifted and versatile
young American woman there Is vein
Of religious mysticism, as well as a
touch Of metaphysics, but here and there
the genuine womanly sentiment crops
out as in this little GEM
Give me OF thy gold, o Sunshine;
OF thy silver, give me, Moon.
And I'll take them to my sweetheart
She will bid me enter soon.
Then it will not matter, Sunshine;
Then it will not matter, Moon,
That we have no purse between us
Only loves sweet, priceless boon.
That Miss Cunningham's magma
ton has also a sublime and powerful
range is impressively manifested in the
sparkling verse entitled DAWN" which
has been highly praised

An old Colonial Rloekhnnss

Among the attractions Of the town Of
Bourne, Mass, are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures built over them were filed
with goods SO necessary for the comfort
Of the early pilgrims as well as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac-
tured goods such as the Hollander had
for sale and the Dutch required prod
ucts such as the colony could supply.
Governor Bradford, in his diary, states
that this block house was built as early
as 1927, only seven years after the land
