quotations. Among others, sheread the beautiful tribute to ArmeRutledge, "beloved in life by Abra-ham Lincoln and wedded unto him,not through union but separation,"the immortal lines, now carved onher tombstone.

The influence of Lincoln on Mas-ter's Youth was brought out byMrs. Scollard, who told of the au-thor's conversations with her abouthis boyhood days and the high re-gard his father and grandfatherhad for the Great American. Inthis connection she linked Masterswith Carl Sandburg and VachelLindsay, two other poets of South-ern Illinois, who grew up underthe spell of the martyred president.

"'The blot on the 'scutcheon' ofEdgar Lee Masters is," she con-tinued, "that in later life, afteryears of law practice with the fa-mous criminal lawyer, ClarenceDarrow, he repudiated Lincoln, de-nouncing1 him as a thorough poli-tician..'. Contributed verse was read by

Mrs. A. E. Dick, including poemsby Concetta Sylvia, Alice VanVleet, Walter Royall, Rose MillsBowers, Ruth Hill Mitchell, AliceHowe Booth, Elizabeth Schoening,Carl Leggett, Lawrence Lee, Le-onora Speyer, Conrad Aiken andthe unknown writer of "Traveller'sSong," which received the highestvote with Walter Boyall's strikinglines "Protest Against Modernity,"winning second choice.

Out of town poets present wereIsabel Fiske Conant, Boston, Mass.,

Agnes Kendrick Gray, DaytonaBeach, and Theda Kenyon.

Rose Mills Powers won highpraise for her poem "We Are theDead," which we quote by permis-sion:

WE ARE THE DEADWe are the dead, the host that gaveOur life's bright heritage to save

A world gone mad with bloodand fear

That amity may flower hereTo white requital on each grave;That might may never more enslaveMankind, we perished, doomed but

brave,With torch aloft and burning

clear,We are the dead.

But now unto the wind and waveThe fierce unsated war-lords rave,

The armored legions reappearTo haunt our. slumber, far and

near,0, give us back the peace we crave,

We are the dead.—Rose Mills Powers.

A Tribute To TheTrees of Winter Park

Further south in Florida there isa wealth of tropical foliage, but itdoes not always look fresh andgreen. Often it has a neglected,faded, dull appearance.

Here, in the lake region, thetrees are healthy, fresh, luxuriant.There are palms and other tropicaltrees and vines in profusion, butthe most beautiful trees are thepines, water oaks, live oaks, mag-nolias and fruit-bearing trees.

There is something artistic aboutthe forests, groves and individualtrees. The lofty pines are darkand grim and their branches aredraped in Spanish moss. The leavesof the magnolias have a bronzefinish, and the dark green leavesof the orange trees look as if var-nished. The water oaks that archover the roads are shaped like hugeelms and give abundant shade,, andthe live oaks, which are scatteredall about, look like ancient Italianolives, although they are muchlarger, and their leaves are not sil-very but dark in color except whenSpring and Autumn come togetheras those seasons do in NorthernFlorida.

A stranger who is here duringthis Spring-Autumn period sudden-ly discovers that the ground is cov-ered with a deep carpet of leaves.So he looks up expecting to see anetwork of naked limbs. But heis surprised and thrilled: all thebranches are thickly covered withyoung leaves of so delicious a tintof light green that if he has anyappreciation of beauty he will singwith joy. These young leaves havepushed the old leaves off.

This consolidation of the seasonsproduces picturesque effects. Noth-ing1, for example, could be more at-tractive than a grove of orangetrees in full blossom while thebranches are still loaded with gold-en fruit.

There is a stream some ten orfifteen miles from Winter Park,called the Wekiwa River. Its sourceis a great circular basin in which awarm sulphur spring bubbles bus-ily. From its very start the riveris of fair size and is as broad asmany of the famous little rivers of

England, Scotland and France. Thereflections in its smooth surfaceare as clear in outline and vivid incolor as are the trees and hangingvines on either bank. Here andthere are broad carpets of waterlilies and other aquatic plants.Many of the trees are tall andstately, and the contrast in Marchand April between the dark ever-greens and the trees whose leavesare of lighter green is arresting.There is infinite variety and thereare many trees, such as maples,not often seen hereabouts.

I have visited many notable riv-ers, but I assert without any reser-vation whatsoever that when thetrees that shed their leaves areclothed in fresh and tender green,the Wekiwa River is of its kind themost beautiful I have ever seen. Itought not to be missed by thosewho are in Florida at that season.• But I suppose there is a fly inevery ointment. Here, at least,there are a multitude. The warmair about this sulphur spring at-tracts an army of gnats, or sandflies. And they assail all thosewho venture to sail on the shiningwaters of the Wekiwa River—andtheir swords are sharp. But thereare times when the flies are ab-sent, and when this sparkling homeof turtles, alligators, water snakes,storks and herons can be exploredin peace and quiet by the naturelovers who come that way.

New Bungalow for Mr . and Mrs. David S. Sehaff

The Schaff Residence

On Golfview Terrace in WinterPark is being built this attractivebungalow for Mr. and Mrs. DavidS. Schaff of Washington, D. C.The plans were prepared in theoffice of Harold Hair, Winter Parkarchitect, and are being executedby B. D. Holden, local general con-tractor. Following, in the main,the Colonial precedents of NewEngland, the exterior shows manycontemporary touches that placethe. house among the residences oftoday. The delicate wrought ironentrance and the breaks of the pro-jecting bays pull this home outof the realm of the ordinary bun-galow.

' The house is of frame construc-• tion throughout and employs a V-joint flush siding on the exterior.The street front is distinguishedby a spacious brick terrace raisedslightly above the ground. Insidethe commodious living-room thereis a novel arrangement of recessedbook shelves at either side of thefireplace. Straight to the rear is

I

the screened living porch, reachedby two pairs of French doors andfloored in weather-proof asphalttile. On one side are two largebedrooms, each with a bath andeach with best exposures to theprevailing southeast breezes. Onthe other side are the den, diningroom (with its ingenious built-inbuffet), butler's pantry and kit-chen. This last room is a fineexample of careful designing forcabinet space and step saving. Thehouse has ample closet space, in-cluding a large trunk room.

Dr. Schaff is a church historianof note. For many years he wasa professor at Western TheologicalSeminary in Pittsburg. His wife,Mrs. Schaff, is a sister of Mrs. W.A. Kinter, whose home is adjacentto this residence. Mrs. Kinter'shome was completed last Augustby Mr. Holden. The two homesare designed to conform with eachother, while varying details giveeach an individual character.

The public is invited to watchthis home as it is in construction,Careful workmanship is apparent

"Widdecombe Fair"Well Done By Students

"Widdecombe Pair", an old Eng-lish folk festival, was held Tues-day evening in the High SchoolAuditorium, under the auspices ofthe Winter Park High School P.T. A. by students of the School andof Rollins College.

Thoughsuccessful as an enter-tainment, the Fair should be con-sidered primarily from the point ofview of the sixty students who tookpart in it. Those familiar withthe poor quality of school enter-tainments given throughout thecountry under the supervision ofcommercial producing companies,realize that "Widdecombe Fair"was a project that had both inform-ative and social value for thoseyoung people.

Instead of giving a loosely con-structed, silly play, interspersedwith tap and ballet dancing, a playin which the actors are trained fortwo weeks by a representative ofthe producing company, these boysand girls have been under the in-struction of Mrs, Helen Rae of theRollins College faculty, who has

More than a dozen country danc-es were given in the program, in-cluding Butterfly, Lads a Bunchum,Rufty Tufty, Morris , dances, BeanSetting and Gathering Peascods,dances in which English rusticstook part as far back as. 1350, asin the case of the Kirkby Malzeardsword dance. The program withnotes was an historical commen-tary on the varied activities andCostumes of English folk on plea-sure bent. Old ballads, sung withspirit by Walter Royall, addedgaiety to the lively scene.

The persons chiefly responsiblefor the success of Widdecombe Fairare Mr. and Mrs. John Rae. Mrs.Rae was coach, stage manager,and producer, and Mr. Rae design-er of the setting, which showed awealth of detail and resourceful-ness that only an artist with skilland originality could achieve.There were greenwood trees, hob-by-horses, booths, and an inimit-able Punch and Judy show in thebackground.

The community has a deep ap-preciation of the fact that the tal-ents of Mr. and Mrs. Rae are sounselfishly devoted to the interestsof its young people, and withoutrecompense. The proceeds will adda considerable sum to the treasuryof the High School P. T. A.
