brings to mind visions of fairwomen—and of masses of gor-geous flowers—flowers with thedew on them, flowers as you gath-er them in your garden, picking ablossom here and there, and thenarranging them in your favoritebowl and placing them in yourchoicest window, and each time youglance at them, it rests your soul.—Women, gracious and beautiful,of a decade ago when skins werelovely and pearl-like and one didnot snatch ten minutes to put ona complexion to match your mood.—(We did not have moods whichwe displayed to the public in thosedays).

Carle Blenner came to WinterPark, saw, and was conquered byour lakes and trees—and is stayingas the guest of Miss Margaret M.Grannis on Osceola avenue, and soagain Winter Park is playing hostto one of our country's truly greatpainters. He has been called the"famed exponent of the conserva-tive school" of American painters,and those interested in honors andtitles can get out their "Who'sWho" and read several inches ofthe honors that have, been heapedupon this painter of "the good, thetrue, and the beautiful."

Mr. Blenner is a portrait painterof men and women, his landscapescatch the sunlight and charm ofthis and foreign countries, and hispaintings of flowers bring the gar-den right into the living rooms of

(Continued from page 1)those fortunate enough to ownthem.—To one who has lived hec-tically through all the modernisticmovements from Eaffaelli on, Mr.Blenner's views are a joy to listento.

"I have seen these modernistmovements come and go. Oneschool is hardly forgotten beforeanother comes into view. Picassoand all the modern school are los-ign ground rapidly in France,where styles in art are set. Mean-while the more conservative workcontinues to live." Such reassur-ing words to a generation that is abit weary of "A nude falling down-stairs"—or a bunch of decayedfruit on a cockeyed table, or theinside view of one's aura in four-teen primitive colors.

Mr. Blenner pioneered in a move-ment which now, certainly to thelay mind, is the outstanding vehi-cle for artistic expression, thepainting of ideal women's heads,the type which today graces thecovers of three-fourths of the na-tion's popular magazines.

Among his best known poitraitsare listed H. E. H, The Duke ofCambridge, Lady Hamilton, Mar-quis Villabor, Senator Lawrence,Rear Admiral Philips, WoodwardPhelps, Lucrezia Bori, and MissHavemeyer. His work is in all theimportant galleries— and it ishoped to have a one-man show atthe Winter Park Woman's Club.See Topics for later details.

Mr. Blenner is a product of theYale Art School. (Dr. Holt pleasenote.)

"END WAR OR IT WILLEND US," SAYS DR. HOLT

(Continued from page 1)to accept the call of destiny andtake action resolutely for peacerather than let the sinister forcesof evil atrophy the spiritual lifeand Christian ideals of modern civ-ilization.

Dr. Holt specifically appealed toRoosevelt to "use his great powerand prestige" to bring the UnitedStates into the World Court andLeague of Nations by joint resolu-tion of Congress. He gave a mas-terly description of the interna-tional relations and the possiblefunctions of the League and de-clared that the United States is to-day the key to the situation. "Ifwe do not conquer war," he de-clared with all the vehemence hepossessed, "war will conquer us."Spontaneous applause broke forthat the conclusion of the address,breaking all precedents.

The service was one that willlong be remembered by those whoattended. The theme of peace wasexpressed beautifully in the re-sponsive readings and the music,Mendelssohn's "How Lovely arethe Messengers of Peace," beingsung with a lofty inspiration bythe choir, and the solo sung byMrs. Charles F. Hammond, so-prano, "Lead Kindly Light," giv-ing a touch of the personal longingfor spiritual direction "amid theencircling gloom" of the world im-passe.

Winter Park Chamber of Commerce Building

MANY AND VARIOUS ARE THE USES OFWINTER PARK'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

A Chamber of Commerce is usu-ally regarded as an association ofbusiness men to further businessinterests solely but in Florida it isa social and a civic feature, visit-ors being the greatest asset.

The Winter Park Chamber ofCommerce undertakes to providehomes, apartments, rooms, roadmaps and traveling information toall who inquire. Letters are re-ceived from every part of theUnited States and some foreigncountries, and they are all an-swered, not by a ready-made print-ed letter, but in such a way that i t 'is ip-peiBonal affair and the recip-ient becomes a friend.

Many hundreds of letters weresent out this season and to date120 families and numerous individ-uals have come in response to thiscourtesy. Files are kept from reg-istration and from electric lightand telephone lists, thus visitorscan find friends located here.

The home-like bungalow, next toCity Hall, buzzes with activitynearly all of the 24 hours. Visitorsmeet friends, play games, writeletters and make general use ofthe rooms.

The; Visitors Club has outgrownthe building so holds its meetingsat the Woman's Club' each Fridayevening a t eight o'clock, wheremusic, cards, dancing and otherentertainments are held.

A game room has just been addedto the main building of the Cham-ber, closed off by glass doors sothat any business being held else-where will not be interrupted.

The main building is used formeetings of Kiwanis, Welfare As-

sociation, Bird Club, Boat Club,Community Chorus, and many oth-er groups. In fact the Chamber ofCommerce is a clearing house forall civic projects, being non-polit-ical and working for the generalwelfare of Winter Park. Tenniscourts and shuffleboard alleys sur-round the buildnig and comfortablechairs and benches are abundant.

Mr. Carter Bradford, the Secre-tary, feels such genuine interest ineveryone's problems that he is con-fronted by many difficult andamusing questions, such as, how tostop neighbors' roosters from crow-ing at early dawn; requests to no-tify the garbage man, and even tofinding a wealthy widower withmatrimonial inclinations. Once hewas called by phone and asked tofeed the swans then on the lake,because they looked hungry, andrecently a baby's milk bottle withelectric attachments was brought,to be "plugged in" "for heating."

If you have any questions trou-bling you, ask Mr. Bradford!

Review of Reviews, and RogerShaw, foreign editor of the maga-zine, will return this month fortheir usual stay here.

Robert Herrick, well known nov-elist and formerly head of the Eng-lish department of the Universityof Chicago, has made Winter Parkhis winter home for several years.

Winston Churchill, the famousauthor of "The Crisis" and manyother historical novels, will asusual spend a large part of the sea-son in Winter Park.

Jessie B. Rittenhouse (Mrs. Clin-ton Scollard) is now a permanentresident of Winter Park, having re-cently purchased a home on Os-ceola Court. She is giving at thepresent time at Rollins her annualcourse on the Art of Poetry Writ-ing, which has done much to stim-ulate creative work among the stu-dents. As president of the PoetrySociety of Florida, which will holdits January meeting next Saturdayat the home of Dr. and Mrs. Ham-ilton Holt, she will speak on "Po-etry As an Art."

Mrs. Mary Aldis, whose work asan artist, poet and dramatist iswidely recognized and who alwaysis creatively engaged, is here forthe winter.

Irving Bacheller is again at hisbeautiful home, "Gate o' the lies",and while his new novel has notyet been announced, we are surethat it is in the making.

A number of distinguished col-lege presidents and college profes-sors are spending the season inWinter Park, several of whom areengaged in creative work. Dr.Charles Dabney, formerly chancel-lor of the University of Cincinnati,is seeing through the press his twovolume work on "Education in theSouth."

Dr. William Goodell Frost, formany years president of Berea Col-lege, Kentucky, who has a perma-nent home here, is putting the fin-ishing touches to his autobiogra-phy.

Few colleges in the country haveso many creative artists on itsEnglish faculty as has Rollins.Among these are such well knownwriters as Dr. Richard Burton, theessayist and dramatic critic; Pro-fessor Edwin Grahberry, the nov-


elist and short story writer, whorecently won the 0.

EXCELLENT SEASON FOR HOTELS INDICATED

As the Editor enters upon hissecond season of publication ofWinter Park Topics he sees withmuch pleasure that the old friendsmade last season are again on thesubscription list starting off againwith Subscriber No. 1, Dr. Hamil-ton Holt.

To those who might misconceivethe function of this publication, wewant to disclaim any intention ofrunning a newspaper.

Our thoughts run. more to thepersonality of the community, itsattitudes and enjoyments, its as-pirations and creative effort.

We might call our paper anorgan, not the business man's ideaof the kind of paper that plays justthe one old tune of "how to put itover," but an organ to tell in wide-ly diversified modulations of thebeauty of Winter Park and thecharm of living here, occasionallyperhaps some gentle allegrettos ex-temporized on the foibles of theday, and always ready to give ex-pression to those of us who have a"message."

With such ideals to follow, weexpect to see and tell all that isworthy,—not only the affirmationsthat lead to a comfortable compla-cency but the challenging question-ings that give concern to the mindsand hearts of all thinking folk inthese erratic times.

"Marge Lockman," our specialwriter whose flair for graphic in-terviews was one of the featuresof Winter Park Topics last season,Is busy at the important post ofPublicity Director for the City ofAugusta. To repair the loss, youreditor resorted to her talentedmother, Mrs. Edith Tadd Little,who was prevailed upon, notwith-standing an already full quota ofactivities, to give us in this issuea sketch of our noted Winter Parkguest, artist Carle Blenner. Weare planning further temptationsto keep Mrs. Little's vigorous lit-erary gift in action.
