Spring Festival of Poetry Society of America Copyright, 1915, Star Company By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX, ‘There are many people in America who have & great deal of money; there are some people who have beautiful homes @nd surroundings; there are others who have exquisite taste and refine- ment of feelina: there are others Wwho are generous and big in theirat- titude toward lit- erature and art; but there are very few people in Amertca who com- bine all these qual- itles. It is a pleasure to state that one such family lives in Greater New York and it is a delight ‘to have been among the favored reciplents of beautiful hospital- ity bestowed by such a generous host and hostess in “the Spring Festival of the Poetry Soclety of America.’” The ovent took place on May 2. The scene was the superb estate and home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Untermyer at Greystone-on-the-Hudson. The recelvers of the hospitality were the members of the Poetry Soclety of New York and their speclal friends. 1t was just a year ago that Mr. and Mrs. Untermyer issued their first invita- tlon to the Poetry soclety to come to Greystone-on-the-Hudson as guests of honor. Bach member of the Poetry so- elety recelved @n engraved invitation, and an sccompanying card stattng that a special train, provided by Mr..and Mrs, tntermyer, would convey.the party.from the Grand Central station to Greystone, half an hour away. The day was ideally perfect; the event & memorable one. This year the courtesy was again repeated, and the date was May %. May 24 and May 2 were bleak of sky, with falling rain and unkind wirds; but, as ff in appreciation of the generous and beautiful spirit shown by the great-heartéd Untermyers towards the “Poets of America,” the skies on May 25 were lke sapphires; the sun was a combination of liquid diamonds and topaz, and the breeze seemed blown from Eden. The poets, in their best “bibs and tuck- ers,”” were an astonishingly handsome congregation of men and women, num- bering more than 200. Automobiles awalted them at the station and con- veyod them, along scenes of bewildering beauty which distinguish the Untermyer grounds, to the palatial mansion over- looking the Hudson. Tea was served on the balconies. Then there were visits through the grounds and through the conservatories, which cannot be rivaled in America.

After that a sumptuous repast was eerved. Speclal trains conveyed the poets and their friends back to the ecity. It was a scene and an occasion which must remain as long as memory lasts in the mind of every fortunate guest. Not since the days of old Greece have poets been so honored and so appreclated by people of wealth and lefsure. It is doubtful if in any land In the last cen- tury & parallel event can be cited. It is to be regretted that a hostess who has shown such thoughtfuiness, such courtesy, such consideration and such liberality should have one embarrassed moment, due to the thoughtlessness of a few of the guests. On each card of in- vitation, following the name of the one Invited, was written the words, “‘and guest Last year fully half of the members gave a friend the happiness of particl- pating in this spring festival. So entic- ing and delightful was the oocasion that a few poets this year overstopped their privileges and asked two, three and even four guests to accompany them to Grey- stone instead of the one the card of in- vitation indicated; and no forewarning was sent to tho hostesa In consequence, more than twenty-five unexpected guests appeared when the covers had been laid. That was a diffi- oult situation for any hostess, and the delicdcy and poise and tact of Mrs Un. termyer saved the situation.. Greystone-on-the-Hudson seems some- thing of a misnomer in May time; for it leaves upon the memory recollections of brilliant sunlit skies, sapphire waters, emerald verdure and a blaze of rhodo- dendrons. So much beauty and splendor of nature and art were given that it needed the greatness of Shakespeare, Homer and Milton to seem really worthy of It all Perhaps among the 20 poets there may be those who will develop something of the genlus of these masters as the years pass by.

The word ‘“orfent.’” which is currentl employed among pearl merchanta, is poatic trope based upon the idea of sun- wise, and refers to the peculiar irides cenne of the pearl. It is analogous to the word “water” ax used to express the relative luster of diamonds. Put notwithstanding the alleged suc- cess of the Paris jewelers experiment with his gem, a London expert is quoted a8 declaring that a better way (o “doc- tor" a pearl is simply to wear it.

Various species of oyster are capable of forming pearls, but they be- come true gems only when secreted in the bodies of species whose shells are lined with a nacreous, or pearly sub- stance. The pearls sometimes found in |ordinary oysters are dull, shapeless, and | usually without value. ! The old Persiana, who put the pearl above ali other gems, had a legend that they were formed of crystalized rainbows which had ehanced to fall into the shells of oysters as the animals lay alring them- selves on the beach. Even the Roman philosopher Pling could see nothing im- probeble in the supposition that the drops of “water, once inside the wshell of the oyster, could be hardened by mingling ‘with the secretions of the animal. One of the most famous pearls in history was found by a negro boy at Panama in the days of the Spanish conquests. It was pearl shaped and as large as the largest pigeon’'s exy. It was presented to Philip 1T ana/ became known as “la Pelegrine,” and was regarded as a prodigy.
