, exclaimed together for we both admire Mrs. Best sincerely.
 s'So I wired mother to bring a few | friends with her. Midget and Corinne Caryl happened to be coming east ! they're going to the Berkshires for the summer and of course they were per fectly pleased to stop off here for few days restip
 And while the society princesses take note of movie manners the movie queens will take lessons from them That's fair. Everybody will have good time-and profitable one!" Chrys comment pleased us all. What else-thats different-are you planning for your luncheon?s I asked.
 Decorations-ab originai2' Ann replied excitedly. Not a flower to be seen, girls."
 I'd like to know why not?r Chrys asked. sDaddy's gardens are wonder full this summer. Happy, the gardener, couldn't have coal for his greenhouses i last winter, so he has surpassed all his 1 previous out-of-door stunts this year." No flowers Ann persisted with a 1 positive shake of her shining cropped curls. 'Birds!"
 Birds. For color. Oh. Obi oh." exclaimed Chrys and I in concert. I thought to myself that the rules of l human conduct hold good under all | COIlQlllODS- Just aS SOOn dS i being possesses the best of one thing, i it loses it's value and he-or she-must have something else. Ann. having the choicest flowers in the town at her command, refused absolutely to use them at her luncheon, and reached out 1 for something new and strange I've ordered all the tropical birds l that can be collected here, and we've wired east for more. I'm going to have just green foliage and gorgeous plum age. Live birds, you understand, on i poles and brackets and branches-par- rots and cockatoos everywhere-with a pair of dear little love birds in charm | ing Chinese cages of split bamboo-at i each cover. I know the girls will love 1 it alli" Ann seemed quite out Of breath but she managed to add:
 ''If I couldn't have collected enough tropical birds, I would have comprom- ised on canaries-a million of them to complete a yellow color seheme!"
 I'll try that some day. Thank you l for the idea" said ChryS. "CanarieS would make conversation at table so unnecessaryi"
 I liked the idea, too. From my own | practical point of view, I could under stand how a girl in a small town where flowers are often hard to get, ! might borrow all the canaries in the place to decorate for fete, in any sea- son.
 | All the rest IS a surprlSe-1or Doth of you girls" Ann continued. "So I'd like to manage it alone"
 "Of course you do! Go ahead old deari" Chrys and I replied. But if we can help, let us know"
 In the course. of time. Midget and Corinne CaryI atrived at Ann's house with Mrs. Best.
 The welcome we gave Mrs. Best was perfectly sincere. Her judgment in the selection of movie stars to meet society girls provd remarkable.
 Midget was little dear, just a nat ural- born swimmer, who had devel- | oped her talent at a small bathing beach on Lake Erie. She loved to ex- hibit her championship medals-the things which had won her a place in the movies. She was a sweet and wholesome Midget" absorbed in mak- ing her own living, and quite proud of the figures of her salary.
 Corinne Caryl. noted vamp, was rather stupid. Chrys and I thought. vixen she wasn't vamping. She was a stunning widow, and she worked very hard in order to educate her son. We found out that the public didn't know about the son.
 ''The publicity men have an awful time inventing a fitting biography for me" she explained.
