Written on battlefields, in devas-

Mr.. Towne's characteristic style of
fiuency, feeling and felicitous diction

Poets Tribute to His Wife

In Songs to A. II. r." Gale Young
Rice weaves a garland of poetic tribute
to his wife, the novelist, Alice Hogan
Rice. Mr.. and Mrs Rice were married
in 1902. These love songs. delicate in
lyric touch and rich in sentiment with
out ever a trace of sentimentality, are
a record of the concords of happy mar
riage. They are spontaneous and spirit
ual, bred of the same spirit that pro-
duced Mrs. Browning's and Coventry
Patmore's conjugal poems.

MRS Dorr. we'll known as a Journal

visiting France to ascertain what care
america was taking of Americas sons
She had her personal interest. for her

sent across. She wanted to see how
he was being cared fon what attention
was being paid to his material and
physical interests, what safeguards pro-
Vided for his spiritual interests. She
wanted to be the eyes for millions of
other American mothers, anxious to
learn the same information but without
the opportunity of n newspaper or n

without the training to handle such an
assignment.
or course, since the armistice, condi-

outset that Catarrh is a serious dis
