auuuuiiucu laici.“LOCAL POETS OF MADISON”Excellent Paper Read by Mrs. Wyatt at Current Events Club Meeting atMrs. Laidley’s.Mrs. M. M. Laidley wlt;is the gra- jtcious hostess to The Current Events jClub at her home last night in Third j/street. Roll call was responded to j by current items of interest. The!paper of the literary hour was given I«bv Mrs. Wyatt. Her subject was Lo- j cal Poets of Madison. Mrs. Wyati is : especially well fitted to speak on this subject as she has been intimately associated with many of these gifted men and women. She said that the local poets were more numerous than one might suppose. Besides giving a sketch of their lives she read ex- * tracls from their poems which prov- j ed the truth of her statement that { they sang rhythmically and sweet. ! The beauty ol poetry is never lost in j Mrs. Wyatt’s interpretation of it. i Among the poets to whom she paid : tribute were Mrs. Sarah T. Bolton, | who for many vears was the most fa-; mous of Indiana poets; Mrs. Bessie : H. Woolford, whose poem, “Fame’s Great Ladder,” was read with much feeling; Mr. Charles L. Holstein, a brilliant writer of prose as well as poetry—his best known poem is “Coming Halfway”; Gavin L. Payne, whose few poems show a high order of genius; Mrs. Hutchings, author of a number of beautiful rhymes. And belonging to a younger generation was Olive Sanxay, whose prose was rare and radiant, and whose poems show wonderful metre and phrasing.After a review of the lives of these brilliant men and women one feels the standard to which the younger generation must aspire is indeed a very high one.PARTIAL ECLIPSEAiacedCia i allmanwlt;aserenHmdi.rofironreth
