dis and hyacinths. which made an
effective setting for tho lovely poems
Miss Jones' rendered. She selected Sew
cral from TaSorc ana Amy Lowell, two
poets who make their homes In places
widely separated---tho East and tho
West, and are equally beloved. These
two writers seem tn have Il common
meeting ground I'm the hc;St and soul
or child. The poems were pictures
by writer's who are painters OF words,
using pen and ink instead of paint
on their canvas.
The prose poetry from Tagores
crescent Moon and the revelation OF
the child mind IN these was The most
delicate and subtle thing inra g Unable.
revealing many similar traits IN the
children OF both the East and West.
Amy Lowclrs poems arc equally rs
pleasing. She is called the high priest
Of tho free verse, aud her poetry is
praised from coast to coast. Miss

highest order and was given in mos.
Inustcianly manner. Miss Daviaa
technique Is fauitless and she showed
dainty and ciear-cut precision, COM
bincd with an almost masculine power

role in which the strings and the
wood instruments seemed TO minIle
with the more brilliant tones of the
