Sometimes Love wears a rosy gown.
Her eyes are young and gay,
And, flower-twined lock all tumbling down,
She bids us to come and play.
And then it seems her joyous song
It stilled to mute desire.
She beckons where the hours dream long.
With eyes and lips of fire.
Then like some priestess we have met
With holy words she speaks,
The while we serve with eyelids wet
And tears upon our cheeks.
Spring Festival of Poetry Society

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
. Thar are many peopls In America who
have a great deal of money; there are
nma' people who have beautiful' homes
And surroundings; there are others' who
hare exquisite
taste and refine
ment of feeling.;
thore are others
ho are generous
and bl In their at
titude toward lit
erature and art;
but there are Terr
few people In
Amertaa who com
bine aO these qual
ities. ' It U a pleasure
to state that one
such ' family lives
in Greater New
York and It la a
delight to have
been among the
favored recipients of beautiful hospital
ity bestowed by -such a generous hot
and hostess In "the Spring Festival of
the Poetry Society of America."
The event took place on May . The
jiuene was the superb estate and hofhe of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Untermyer at
tlreystono-on-the-Hudson. The receivers
of the hospitality were the members of
the Poetry Society of New York and
their special friends.
It was lust a year ago that Mr. and
Mrs. Untermyer Issued their first lnvita
'tlon to the Poetry society to come to
(jfreystone-on-the-Hudson as guests of
honor. Each member of the Poetry so
ciety received an engraved Invitation,
and an accompanying card stating that a
special train, provided by Mr,. an Mrs,
tlntermyer. would convey, the party, irom
the GraW Central station to Greystone,
luJf an" hour away.
- The day was ideally perfects the event
a; memorable one. This year the courtesy
was again Tepeated, and the date was
May 26. May and May 26 were bleak
of sky, with falling rain and unkind
winds: hut, as ft In appreciation of the
generous and beautiful spirit . shown by
the great-hearted Untermyers towards
the "Poets of America," the sktos on
May 25 were' like sspphlres; the sun was
a combination of liquid diamonds and
toas, and the breeze seemed blown from
Edun.
The poets. In their best "bibs and tuck
ers." were an astonishingly handsome
congregation of men and women, num
bering more than 300. Automobiles
awaited them at the station and con
veyed them, along scene 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 there was a gathering of the
clans in the great muslo hall to ltMen for
three-quarters of an hour to a musical
program given by Petruccie Busonl. Bo
compelling, so entrancing and so mas
terful was the musio that the proverbial
pin might have been heard to drop while
this great genius entertained his audi
ence with the compositions of Bach,
Chopin and Lisst. After that a
sumptuous repast was served. Special
trains conveyed the poets and their
friends back to the city.
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 appreciated
by people of wealth and leisure. It is
doubtful If in any land In the last cen
tury a parallel event can be cited.
It la to be regretted that a hostess who
has ' shown such thoughtful nees, 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
guests." .
Last year fully half of the members
gave a friend the happiness of partici
pating In this spring festival. So entic
ing and delightful was the occasion that
a few poets this year overstepped their
privileges and ssked 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 hostess.
In consequence, more than twenty-five
unexpected guests appeared when the
covers had .been laid. That was a diffi
cult situation for any hostess, and the
delicacy and poise and tact of Mrs Un
termyer saved the situation-- , ., --
Qreystone-on-the-Hudson seems some
thing of a misnomer In' May time; for
It leaves upon the memory recollections
of brilliant s'inllt skies, sapphire waters,
emerald verdure and a blase 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
ef it ail.
Perhaps among the 2(0 poets there may
be those who will devolop something of
the genius of these masters as the years
pans by- The Poetry Hoclety of America
Is a notable organisation. It has received
notable recognition.

But notwlthstandlnr the alleged sue-.
Ores of the Paris jeweler s experiment-
with his gem, a laonrton expert Is qnottHi
as declaring that a better way to "doc
tor" a pearl Is simply to wesr It. Thi
Is no new legend, but one that has pfiuu
been repeated. In some of its lorms u
myrtle connection with the fortune of
the wearer is assumed. There Is no
doubt that pearls are more subject . to
outside Influences than are stones. Ilk"

The London expert Just referred to
ssys: "A pearl riscklsea that Is worn
once or twice a month will go on for
hslf a century showing no change. Loc
that same necklace up for twenty yesrs
and aH tbe slow and luster are gone,
and the pearls look like wax beads.
In Its manner of origin the pearl dif
fers from an other gem a It Is not a
stone. In the ordinary rente, but a growth
ot mineral matter, mainly calolum car

sisting of a minute grain of sand, or other

capable ot 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 fonnd tn
ordinary oysters are dull, shapeless, and
usually without valus.
The old Persians, who put ths peart
above all other gems, had a legend that
they were formed of crystallsed rainbows
which had ehanced to fall Into tha shells
of oysters as the animals lay airing them
selves on ths beach. Even the Roman
philosopher Pllng could see nothing im
probable In the supposition that the drops
of -water, once Inside the shell of the
oyster, eould 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 ths Bpsnlsh conquests. It
was pearl shaped and ae large as the
largsst pigeon's egg. It was presented to
Philip II and' became known as "Lsv
Pelegrlns," and was regarded as . a
prodigy. It was worn as a hat buckle by
several kings ef Spain, then as an orna
ment for the hair of a quean and finally
It found Its way to Russia, where It seems
to hsve disappeared.
Whatever the real facta mar be as to
the Improvement of the lustre of pearls
by treatment with ultra-violet light or
other rare rays, there seems to be no
doubt that some precious stones yield
readily to ths influence of the bombard
ment of broken atoms shot from radium.
Among these are sapphires. IThen ssp
