beauty to it, were the recent produce
lions of the three Memphis poets whom
the Daughters honor as members OF the
society-Mmes. Virginia Frazer Boyie,

lasting peace until the Prince Of Peaot
shall reign was expressed In an can
ticle when Mrs. Boyle gave her famous
poem, Christ in the Argonne,'
Mrs. Boyle, representing the part OF
sorrow and agony In the canticle, was
gowned in a white robe with the purple
Shield, and chanted that part while Mrs,
j. w. Canada, representing the Joy anc
victory, exquisitely sang her part. she
wore a white robe with a scarlet shield
Accompanying them as they stood pc
tween the flags suspended over tnt
platform, was Enoch Walton at tn
piano; Angelo Cotese on the harp, ant
Joseph Cortese on the violin.f
The music for the poem was writer
especially for the occasion by Creighton
Allen, Of Macon, Miss, only IL years q

musical examinations-,a genius Wh'
has recently been discovered and Wh'
has a promising future.
The climax Of the afternoons program
came when the POSTMASTER introduce'
Mrs. Grosvenor, saying only a poet ca
look down the vista of time beholt
the glories that await us.
This beautiful version of the tutur'
was one of Mrs. Grosvenor's best. Sh'
was splendid in reading her lines, clad II
a graceful white crepe robe and wear
ing a laurel wreath OF her head,
