AN exchange says of Rhea "She
looks 45 years of age, and is not beauti-
full. However, there is charm in her
personality that wins the admiration of
all with whom she comes in contact.
She is a gifted and fluent conversation
alist. Unlike some of her profession she
dislikes that vulgar sort of nOtoriety won
on the streets and about hotels. She
walked from the station to the hotel in
order to avoid attracting attention, and
in the hotel had her meals served in her
room for the same reason"
