The Art Committee, Miss Margaret Gran- niss, chairman, will hold a recep- tion in honor of the artist at this time. The work of Mary Aldis is the expression of a personality filled with exultation and vitality. It is a proof of her belief that "the knowledge of one art is technically that of another art," for she has published "Flashlights," a book of verse, "Drift," a novel, and two books of plays, "No Curtain" and "Plays for Small Stages." The plays were first produced in "The Playhouse," established on the grounds of Mrs. Aldis' home in Lake Forest, 111., to give an oppor- tunity to amateurs interested in the Little Theatre. Under her pat- ronage the Rojj School of Art was established in Chicago, and by her encouragement many sculptors, painters and writers have been in- spired in their work. For this rea- son Mrs. Aldis has been called "Art's Johnny Appleseed," for wherever she goes artistic effort blossoms. The versatility of Mary Aldis is evident in the pictures included in the exhibit—cartoons for mural decorations, flower "portraits," figure pieces and abstractions. Her humor and playfulness are shown in such subjects as Studio Antics, Naughty Night, and "So this is Paris." Of Horseradish Leaves the artist says, "It looks as though the Maker's helpmate had put a neat shirring string through their mid- dles."

MRS. KENYON COX SAYSART HAS FASHIONS

(Continued from page 1)"Oh, eight years!" was the prompt

reply of the eminent Mrs. Cox."Winter Park sounded high-brow,therefore I secretly mistrusted it.Then, too, I'd never heard of any-thing except the Florida coast cities,Miami, Palm Beach and St. Peters-burg. Sounds ignorant but I scarce-ly knew there was a middle to Flor-ida. I went half-way 'round theworld in one direction and half-way'round it in the other before I everset foot in Winter Park, and hereI am, liking it tremendously."

Naturally the reporter beamedfondly at this point, It was agreedthat the weather was very unusualbut pleasant and that sunsets overLake Maitland were very specialindeed, worthy of the Japanesemasters. In her short stay, Mrs.Cox has become an ardent sup-porter of extending the season tonine months! The reporter beamedeven more fondly upon her.

"Of course," Mrs. Cox continued,"my family are delighted to get meback on a peninsula! My passion isislands and seas, having lived thelast thirty years in Hawaii andItaly. I admit I'm spoiled, but Ifind your scenery here not up tomy demands of a dramatic coun-try." • • •

"My home? Honolulu, I gness.Home is where I pay taxes and Iown a place there. Just now I'mrecuperating from an excess oftravel. Having1 just completedjourneying- from Vancouver to Mon-treal, on a silk-train not unlike anelderly goat leaping from peak topeak, I went on to Egypt.

"You ask if we should have praiseor patience for the modern trend inart t My dear, things of artisticvitality take their proper places;others drop out. There are fashionsin painting as much as in sleeves!Some years ago everyone was do-ing things in black; black here,there and everywhere, and thencame blues and pinks contrasting,and so on. One Fi'enehman evencame along painting all his peoplelike soap-bubbles! He achieved hor-rible effects that were all the ragefor a time. So it goes—yet youcan't altogether blame buyers andart critics for praising most everywork of the new expression. Theyare governed by two feelings: one,the fear of ignoring the work ofsome genius (since it happens sooften), and the other a sincere de-sire to aid genuine talent. Manyof our artists whose work is nowcoming to the front were slightedwhile living. Even. the conserva-tive Whistler was scarcely acceptedor recognized when he was work-ing1. Incidentally, they are scrap-ing Sargent up off the floors ofItalian art galleries! Having fear-fully over-painted, not waiting forthe underpaint to dry, he does dropoff!"

Mrs. Kenyon Cox is charmed withWinter Park. It is reciprocal. Letus hope she may decide to makethis her winter home permanently.A pupil of the National Academyof Design, the Students' Leagueand Kenyon Cox, Mrs. Cox has re-ceived international recognition ofher talents, having been: awardedthe Third Hallgarten Prize of theNational Academy of Design andmedals of distinction from the Par-is, Buffalo and St. Louis exposi-tions.

MISS RUSSELL OFFERSHEDGEROW PLAYERS

With the January 15th perform-ance of Eugene O'Neill's "EmperorJones" by the Hedgerow Players,Miss Annie Russell opens thefourth season of the ProfessionalArtists Seriese.

Without thought of profit or re-muneration save that of apprecia-tion, Miss Eussell lends each yearher wealth of experience in thetheatre as an internationally knownactress, her talents and energies toRollins College and Winter Parkthat they may have and enjoy anarray of the best talent on the re-cital and theatre stage. For thuscontributing so immeasurably tothe cultural life of the college andthe community, all lovers of musicand dramatic art owe Miss Russella debt of gratitude. Beloved bystudents, town and gown, she di-rects this series for. the entertain-ment of all.

In the Hedgerow production ofO'Neill's famous play, Jasper Dee-ter, director of the repertory group,plays the role of Smithers.

MUSSOLINI PRISONER OFHIS OWN PROPAGANDA!

(Continued from page 1)

Ethiopia's dubious ability to pro-duce raw materials could pay forone year of the war!"; "With Fascism repudiating peace,believing in war, how is Mussolinifaring in attempting to re-estab-lish the imperial Rome of the Cae-sars? The best authorities sayItaly has made no progress in theconquest of Abyssinia. Why ? Italyis warring against not only thecourageous native troops butagainst nature! Mussolini is war-ring against climate and geogra-phy! Already he has had to tellhis people to tighten their beltsfor another year of struggle."

"Mussolini is the victim of hisown slogans, the prisoner of hisown propaganda!" he continuedagain.. "With the slow throttlingof the embargoes of the Allies, nofurther sanctions may be neededwith Nature fighting on the sideof Emperor Haile Selassie, Kingof Kings, Lion of Jiidah, and hispeople. The last statement of Se-lassie was to the effect that Ital-ian troop's must be withdrawn fromEthiopian territory and an indem-nity paid: before peace could beagreed upon in the forms of con-cessions and compromises . . . and soa dictatorship draws to its inevita-ble end—red ruin and death!"

Dr. John Martin,, throughout hislecture, held, the attention of. ahouse filled to capacity. He spokewith a clarity of' thought and arare economy of word on a subjectuppermost in the minds of all cit-izens.

TO HONOR 2000thBIRTHDAY OF HORACE

WINTER PARK TOPICS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1936

OUR GARDEN FRIENDS

The Roman poet Horace was bornon the 8th of December, B. C. 65,being of about the same age as theEmperor Augustus and five yearsyounger than his good friend Ver-gil. Some ceremonies were heldin the previous year, and probablymore will occur in 1936. However,the exact date is not material; theimportant matter is to honor thememory of the great poet, one ofthe most human figures in Latinliterature; the singer of the match-less Odea; the wise, witty, urbane,friendly witter, who has beenknown and loved by countless read-ers in many lands for so many gen-erations.

A brief ceremony will be held inhonor of this famous lyric bard onRollins College campus, at 10:30a. m., January 13th. Dr. Helen W,Cole, formerly Professor of Latinat Rollins, -will speak on Horace'senduring fame. George MeasonWhicher will read a short selectionfrom his book "On the Tibur Road,"a collection of verses, serious orhumorous, by himself and his son,George Frisbie Whicher, relatingto Horace. A wreath of ivy willbe placed on Horace's stone in thaWalk of Fame.

An attractive feature of the pro-gram will be the singing in Latinpf the Ode "Integer Vitae," by aquartette made up as follows:•First tenor, Hamilton Holt; secondtenor, Bruce Dougherty; first bass,Christopher Honas; second bass,Malcolm MacLaren.

Mr. and Mrs. Francis Mareliiand little daughter Harriet, ofRockford, 111,, who have been withMrs. Marelli's parents, Mr. andMrs. William H. Pelhahi, on EssexRoad for three weeks, left Wednes-day by motor for their home.

Mrs. Robert Skillman entertainedMrs. John Jones, Mrs. W. D. Wardand Mrs. John J. Bell at the Sem-mole oHtel for luncheon and bridgeoh Wednesday. .•: Mrs, C. A. Banister returned toWinter Park the fiist of the weekfrom Yonkers, N. Y., where shehad been called by the death ofher sister, Miss Katherine Haskett.

Over 93,000 letters during theChristmas holidays and the firstfew days of the new year havebeen registered by the cancellingmachine in the Winter Park PostOffice! .

[Ed. Note: The author of thefollowing' inspirational tribute toflowers and their arrangement givesreality to her thought in the charm-ing effectiveness of the floral dec-orations at Perrydell.] .

Those who have flowers to ar-range as one of the tasks whichmake up the day's work find inthem an endless joy. Each speci-men, whether from garden, hothouse, field or woods, is welcomedand catalogued in the list whichadds to our happiness just as ourpersonal friendships do. We feelthat they do have personality, arepositive, that many have a heart.Perhaps the Ancient Mythologistknew more about the life spark ofthe vegetable kingdom than we wisemodems, for they believed thatplant life is ruled by intellect asuseful for them as our intellect isfor us.

One much beloved author wroteof the festive flowers and the spir-itual influence they reflect. Thoseof us who associate closely withour flower friends realize that theyare much like people, they must behandled carefully, they have theirlikes and dislikes. They demandthe right atmosphere in order to beat their best. They are hospitable,but can be snobbish, they will thrivewith all sorts and kinds of culti-vated flowers in their garden home,but will refuse to associate withweeds and will sicken and die un-less the intruders are removed.

When they come to the livingroom, the banquet, or family tablewe find them, exclusive, and smilecontentedly when those of their ownfamily or close relatives are ar-ranged harmoniously with them.

To arrange flowers artisticallyrequires more than the knowledgeof flower arrangement which maybe found in books or in any set Ofrules. Is it a spark of divine lovethat gives one the natural instinctof harmony, as to size and color,which will produce the perfect en-semble—the still life picture whichall too soon fades and is forgottenby all but the one who visualizedit. If is photographed in her mem-ory gallery along with the othermaster pieces.. In making a flower arrangement,one first considers the setting, thesize of the room, the color of thewall decorations, where it is to beplaced, whether in the center of theroom or used to brighten a darkcorner. If it is for the dining room,one must also consider the size ofthe table, the type of linen andchina to be used as well as the colorto be emphasized.

Repeating the colors of wall dec-orations in flower combinationsgives a room unity, or ties themtogether as a whole, while flowersthat contrast with the room willaccent the table decorations.

The type, size and color of thecontainer is quite as important asthe choice of flowers. In selectingthe container choose one that har-monizes with the room or with theflower bowl in scale with the lengthof the stems. It should be beauti-ful, but never outshine the flowers:it is a secondary point in the com-position and acts as a foil enhanc-ing the flower arrangement eitherby harmony of color or by contrast.It must be sympathetic in texture;never use heavy pottery for deli-cate flowers, likewise never placethe coarser flowers in glass or sil-ver containers.

Friday, Jan. 17, MARTHA GRAHAM, Dancer.Wednesday, Jan. 22, ROSE BAMPTON, Mezzo Soprano.

Prices 75c to $1.50; Box office open daily from4 to 6 P. M., beginning Monday, Jan. 13th.

On the holder or standard useddepends much of the success of thearrangement as well as the pleas-ure in arranging. Choose one withlarge openings so that the largestems go in easily, one that doesnot have to be concealed, as thatgives the crowded appearance whichshould be avoided.

Choose flowers that go logicallytogether, either in class or in sea-son. Notice the natural heighth offlowers, never cut the stems of tallvarieties in order to bring themdown to the level of those that growlow. In combining colors, chooseone that is more dominant and ac-cent it with the other hues. Massthe dark, heavy colors low. Thisgives stability to the arrangement.

The heighth of the arrangementshould have no hard and fast rule,especially now that containers giv-ing the flat appearance are avail-able. Detailed consideration offlower-friends brings its own de-lightful reward.
