a vibrant scene from the great mod
ern drama, within the Law" This
deals with social problems between
two contending factions of the day.
Into this reading Miss Stalings in
fuses great feeling which compels the
rapt attention of her hearers during
every moment of it's delineation.
Group three contains lovely gems
from the modern poets. Among these
are "The Vision" Cover Night a
Rose" Longing" and Gas Drank
Tea" Each one is of such exquisite
ness, and Miss Stallings portrays
them with such delicacy that the en-
semble constitutes a string of pearls.
Assisting in the program will be
Mrs. Walter D. Tiedeman who has
a voice of sweetest charm.
Her first number is go Had Jub-
,Ps Lyre," a selection from one o.
the most splendid oratorios in must
cal libraries. Handel reached the
perfection of harmony in this bril-
liant aria, and Mrs. Tiedeman inter
prets his spirit with such exactness
of technique that the audience is
thrilled with the beauty of the com
pleted number.
Her second group is composed Of
From the Land of the Sky Blue
Water" by Cadman. Those who
know and love music realize that
Cadman's compositions possess a
delicacy rarely found in other writ
ers.
No less lovely is Come to the
Garden, Love-" by Salter. "a Red,
Red Rose" concludes the second
group, a beautiful finale to beau
tiful group.
Miss Ella Polk, director Of music
will accompany Mrs. Tiedeman, and
as muck depends upon the accuracy
and delicacy of the accompaniment,
Americas music lovers are assured of
the utmost perfection in this pro-
gram.

INTERESTING STORY
OF BLIND PRINCESS.

Miss Stallings will give a reading
Friday evening at the Club house on
"King Rene's Daughter. This is a
Danish drama by Henrick Hertz, and
is one of the most thrilling 'portrayals
of the period from which it is taken.

France, in the middle of the fifteenth
century. The story unfolds about a
blind girl, the daughter of King Rene
who, in infancy, is betrothed to a
court count for state reasons. The
princess learns the beautiful lesson
of love elsewhere, and pleads that
she be permitted to marry where she
will. Royal DEGREES are against the
love match, and King Rene first

ically portrays.

Honorable j. A. Cox
Lakeland, Fla,
My Dear General:
want to thank you and your com
rades for the resolutions passed last
Saturday denouncing Governor Cats
for saying the old Confederate sol
dires were little or no better than the
Russian Bolshevicks. If he said this,
he not only deserves the contempt and
scorn of all decent people, but should
be denied the privilege of spreading
his Bolshevick propaganda on an out
ragged people.
My father WAS a Confederate SOL
der and gave his life on the battle
field of Chicamauga for the cause he
believed right, and no man, be he
governor or what not, can cast one
slur on his honored name and 60 un-
retMked while | live.
While | am writing this april %
Memorial Day.. the good women are
placing flowers on the graves Of those
brave old heroes and watering then
with their tears.
| With best wishes and warm person
al regards, | am,
Sincerely yours,
JOHN A. MOORE.
