THE CONVALESCENT GRIPSTER.
(The new fashioned “flu” is said
to be the old fashioned grip.)
The gods let slip that fiendish grip
Upon me last week Sunday—
No fiercer storm than racked my form
E’er swept the Bay of Fundy;
But now, good-bye to drugs, say I
Good-bye to gnawing sorrow;
I am up today, and, whoop, hooray!
I’m going out to-morrow!
%
What aches and pain in bones and
brain
I had I need not mention;
It seemed to me such pangs must be
Old Satan’s own invention;
Albeit I was sure I’d die,
The doctor reassured me—
And. true enough, with his vile stuff,
He ultimately cured me.
As there I lay in bed al) day,
H. w fair cutside looked to me!
A smile so mild old Nature smile-1
It seemed to warm clean through
me.
In chastened mood the scene I viewed,
Inventing sadly solus,
Fantastic rhymes between the times
I had to take a bolus.
Os quinine slugs and other drugs
I guess I took a million—
Such drugs as serve to set each nerve
To dancing a cotillon;
The doctors say the only way
To rout the grin instanter
Is to pour in all kinds of sin—
Similibus curanter!
*T was hard; and yet I’ll soon forget
Those ills and cures distressing;
One s future lies ’neath gorgeous skies
When one is convalescing!
So now, good-bye to drugs say I
Good-bye thou nhantom sorrow!
I am up today, and, whoop, hooray!
I’m going out tomorrow.

1 graduate of Americus high school in
the class of ’ls and of the Chicago
Columbia College of Expression in
'l7, is one of Americus’ most talent
ed young women. She has scores of
friends here who will learn with pleas
ure of her attainment in dramatic
art circles in New York. She is at
tending the Hawn School of Speech-
Art in the metropolis, and in addition
is doing work at the Chalif School of
Russian Dancing. She recently fin
ished the course at the American
Academy of Dramatic Art.
The Pleiades Club, before which
Miss Stallings recently read, is an or
ganization of leading theatrical, liter
ary and professional men and women,
and only the very best talent is invit
ed to come before them. The au
dience which heard Miss Stallings’
reading was composed entirely of
Pleiades Club members and their
guests, and constituted a distinguish
ed assemblage. The club meeting at
(which Miss. Stallings appeared was
held in historic old Brevoort Hotel
lon Lower Fifth avenue. With her on
: the program were a number of grand
I opera singers of national reputation,
(and hearty encores were given Miss
( Stallings during her group of dramat
! ic readings.
The second occasion on which Miss
(Stallings appeared before a New York
i audience was in Carnegie Hall when
she participated in a program, to
gether with a number of high class
musical artists of the metropolis. On
this appearance, as before, her work
earned for her enthusiastic applause.
Miss Stallings has been in New
York during the past three years per
fecting herself for her chosen career,
but previously she gave dramatic
I readings and interpretations before
numerous Americus audiences.

MISS CLARK SINGS
BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE.
Americus is justly proud of the
splendid work being done by the stu
dents in the various colleges in which
they represent. Another laurel
wreath has been added to the many
I won by girls from this place. Miss
Melva Clark, who is studying voice
culture in the Conservatory of Mu
; sic, Cincinnati, was highly honored by
being invited to sing before a distin-
I guished audience of the Sir Sidney
Johnston chapter, Unted Daughters
of the Confederacy in Cincinnati re
cently. Miss Clark’s selections were
especially adapted to her beautiful
voice, and she received unstinted ap
plause upon this occasion. The audi
ence was a large and critical one, and
Miss Clark’s friends feel that she mer
ited the praise bestowed. She has ap
peared in the Conservatory upon
manv other occasions, always -with
credit to herself.
Miss Claudia Calhoun, of Ameri
-1 cus, is studying piano at the Conser
vatory this season, and is doing splen
