Mrs. Jules Guthridge as a budding genius
in the literary field. She has just COM
pleted charming story of a recent trip
abroad, which is told in a quaint,
womanly fashion. and which she calls
! From Capitol to Kremlin." 1t is par
ticularly interesting in that it deals with
sights in foreign countries as a woman
sees them, and as Mrs. Guthridge is a
! bright, original woman. she saw things
in an interesting way. Mrs. Guthridge
has heretofore been known as a very
charming and universally popular So
ciety woman. and her literary talent has
hitherto been confined to magazine work.

that freshly laid eggs would sink, and
