Collection Of Mayan Relics
Found ut Quirigua.
One of the finest collections Of
Mayan relics is found at Quirigua,
where Mrs. Doyle and her husband
spent several days. It was here, she
said, that she saw the native tree
known as "St. Johns Bread" In
reality a locust, on which grow long,
black pods, the seeds of which are
edible. "The tree derived its name"
she explained, from the Biblical
account of st. John eating locusts
in the desert. They were not real
ly insects, as many believe, but seeds
from the pods of this tree"
Mrs. Doyle said she found that
Indian influence predominated over
Spanish in Guatemala, quite Diff
ferent from many of the other
Spanish American countries.
Her travels have taken her into
all the countries on the South Amer
ican east coast.
II have the west coast Of South
America on my future program" she
said.
Mrs. Doyle was invited this year
to direct series of Spanish" nights
at the American Association of Uni
versity Women's Club, where she is
member. and her travels in Guate-
mala added greatly to the interest
Of the recent Guatemala night"
Mrs. Doyle also is fond OF art and
Of flowers, and has combined both
tastes to create clever Christmas
cards. AS a student at the Abbot
School of Art in Washington, she
learned to make her own wood cuts,
which she now puts to practical use.
Many Of her designs feature the
exotic trees and flowers found in
South America.
Her office windows are filled with
numerous plants. and one, a Brazil
ian iris, is displayed with a fragile
and fragrant flower blossoming at
the end Of the leaf stalk, instead Of
in the center of leaves.
In addition to membership In the
