love affairs. Mr.. Thompson, how.
ever, was determined to go about
his task in thoroughly scientific
way and to gather the required in.
formation as far as possible from
first-hand sources. To do this he had
to become something of an anti.
quarian, for Miss Van Aliens first
sutton. as near as Viewpoints oldest
1nhabitant can remember, entered
the lists back In 1896, two years be.
fore the Spanish-American war.
Harry Lehr was this first sutton.
He was backed by Mrs. Astor, and
was great favorite In Newport
what could have been the reason why
he failed to win Miss Van Allen?
"Lehr was too feminine" That
was "Grizzy's" decision after CLEAN.
ing all the information he could
from Newporters old enough to travel
back In memory to the gay Summers
of 1896.1897-1898.
Score one for efficiency! "Grizzy"
Thompson promptly began to make
his Insecurity as pronounced as
possible. He wore only clothes that
were rampantly mannish. he danced
little and studiously avoided pleasing
Suo iouiOS Wy lcldllluS CluD 6CaUudlS
as Lehr used to do. Soon he was
pleased to note that the more he EN-.
phasized the efficient side of his
nature, the more his favor grew in
Miss Van Aliens eyes.
Bunny" Hawkes. was the next
sutton to claim "Grizzy's" attention.
He had followed on the heels
Of Harry Lehr and had squandered
great sums of money In lavish enter
tainments for her. Some of the most
costly luncheons and dinners ever
given at Sherrys and Delmonicos
were arranged by him in her honor
and yet, May Van Aliens rejection Of
Bunny" Hawkes. was as emphatic
as 1t had been in the case Of Harry
Lehr.
"Ah," said "Grizzy" Thompson, a
great light beginning to dawn on
him. "She doesn't like extravaganza.
/ will be frugal and saving. I'll buy
sandwiches for her at the deltoat-
essen shops and take her to lunch.
con at Childs's."
On second thought, however, this
seemed bit too crude, even for Mr..
