OUR GREAT WHITE WAY

The latest information
obtainable as to the Great
White Way of Alexandria
is to the effect that preGmin-
aries are being vigorously
pushed forward and the ac-
tive work begun at an early
date. Captain Evans, of the
Chamber of Commerce, re-
ports that the project may
reasonably be expected to be
completed by the first Of next
August.
The Gazette has in mind
an excursion from all along
the lower Potomac on the in
augural date, which will
bring several hundred peO-
pie from the Maryland and
Virginia shore to witness
the ceremonies. At the same
time we suggest excursions
from all the sections tribu-
tary to the city, and a pro-
gram that will include dis
tinguished speakers, music,
fireworks a nd all tn e
features of a festal occasion.
With proper efforts several
thousand people can be in
duced to attend, and thus
gladden. the hearts of our
local merchants and the citi-
zenship generally,
New Orleans has its Mardi
GraS, st. Louis its Yelled
Prophets, Los Angeles its
Flower Festival, San An
tonic its Battle of Flowers
why not Alexandria its an
nual Feast Day to attract the
multitudes and spread its
fame throughout the land?
September and October are
glorious months in this lati-
ture and either one would be
appropriate. With our Great
White Way a blaze of ligh.
for a dozen blocks, the stores
open and filled with busy
throngS, street fakirs hawk
ing their wares, bursts of
music, shouts and laughter
of children, the hum of a
thousand voices, the pomp of
pageantry and procession
all this would blazon the
name of our annual festival
till it became nationwide.
Our proximity to Washing
ton would bring hundreds
from that city; and from
other parts of the country,
people would make it a point
to visit the national capital
and Alexandria at the same
time; deferring or fastening
their trip to the capital in
order to visit the Alexandria
celebration.

The unobtrusive Muse is often the
Muse with a fine heritage, and keep
ing up a tradition always keeps the
quality of reverence in its speech and
IN its approach to life. 1t differs from
the obtrusive, from the blatantly self
aSsertiVe sister of modernity. in that
it cares little for gaudy fashions;
that it is so much more concerned with
the inner spiritual grace than for the
outer sensuous effects of emotions.
II has its thrills and raptures, but
they are touched with the faith of in
nocents; its dream is to make the in
ner consciousness reality and OF the
realities Of the outer world the SYM
bols of those spiritual illusions which
flow into the soul from beyond the
visible borders Of experience. Miss
Caroline Giltinan's Music is of this
character. In her little volume Of
lyrics. "The Divine Image" there is a
touch of this inscrutable magic sight.
With her, life is a spiritual adventure;
the earth and ways are an avenue that
opens into eternity; and she travels
along it, impressing with passionate
sympathy upon everything she meets
and sees the Divine Image which she
knows, yet seeks, that is her sus-
tenance and yet in whose shadow her
being moves. Seldom in so brief
compass as this little book have |
met with such passionate and pro-
found sincerity. The lyrics are
scarcely more than flashes of in
stituion, yet they pierce one like
the sound of a birds cry suddenly
breaking on the still air of summer
evening. No poem in the volume
gathers up more illuminatingly all the
delicate and mystical feeling of this
poet, all that are her own special and
Individual gifts. than the rare and
Irresistible song Chips" Slender as
| this little book is, it is capable of a
very full tone. There are, too, series
OF poignant lyrics from the heart of
a woman which, gently as they emerge
scar to the very heart. In these there
is something fine and eternal. Let
me quote this little thing, little only
that it takes but four lines to hold
such deep-sea record Of grief:
All that ! love lies sleeping
Under a new-madc mound.
Tonight | see the sky again:
And the moon is nearly round.
There is a poet, a true poet speak
ing in these lines just as truly as a
poet spoke in Woodsworth's Lucy"
poems or in Blake's "Sunfower."
Miss Giltinan's future is bright
one. Life has enriched her beyond the
privilege Of many; she has the poets
passion to refine experience to the
simplest terms of expression, depend
ing upon that inner substance of sim
cerity and imaginative rapture for the
power to give reality to her dreams
and visions. Through her the light Of
the Divine Image shines and gives to
these lyrics the shapes and glories of
a mystical passion. Tie Boston Fee

The Mount Vernon Highway
Letter From Hon C, c. Carin to NJ.
Il. Harlow

The following is self-eXplanatory.
We print it for two reasons; first,
that it does simple justice to Mr.,
Harlow; and second. that this great
highway will some day be a national
institution, provided for and main
tanned by the United States Govern
ment, and when that day comes, 1t
is but fair that the man whose brain
conceived il, and who started the
movement, should have due recogni-
ton Mr. Harlow has been indefati-
gable in his efforts, and it is due to
him that the matter is now in shape
TO secure timely legislation. We be-
lieve that another year or two will
see the work begun.
