Is called by her friends, "the Christmas Christ-mas poetess," because nearly every magazine In New York publishes something of hers in Its Chilstmas number. Mrs. Garrison Is a tmrprtso to persons per-sons who, having read her poems, meet her the first time. In verse bIio expresses emotion, sentiment, picturesque pic-turesque Imagination, and has a thrilling, vibrant touch that stirs to tears. In real life she twangs a merry lyre, and seems naught but tho embodiment em-bodiment of wild, rollicking Irish wit and humor. On a recent voyage to Bermuda, "Dosla," as she Is called, had her first taste of seasickness. She met It with Incredulity and remonstrance- at tlrst, but finally succumbed and fled to her stateroom. Thoro tho stewardess found her prono and bewildered. "Can I do .anything for you?" asked tho matron. "Oh, yes," gasped Dosla, "bring mo some poison, quick!" After a time she struggled out on deck, to And tho ship tossing horribly. In a "reely" storm. Telling her friends of it afterward, she said: "I hunted up tho captain and asked him what ho thought about It. He said: 'If we have good luck tho boat may hold together a few hours longer.' Then I went and took my seat by tho fattest man I saw among the passengers, passen-gers, because I thought If we wont down ho would bo the most likely to float and I could hang on to him." |
