Jaly 6-To my Office by noon, and at
my desk an hour, whence away and
played few games Of pool. with slight
success, and II. Candy come for me, and
with him and A. Samuels to dinner, and
! met Mistress Jobyna Rowland, very
CHEEKY and glad of seeing me, and told
me the poem Miss Atkins was said to have
wrote to Miss Barrymore at the age Of
fourteen, she actually did write, which,
as Heaven is my Judge, had never a
doubt Of. Saw Miss l. Corbier at dinner,
looking better than ever saw her. For
ride in my petrol-waggon with 81.
Canby, and SO home early to-bsd.
EARLY up, and all day at my Office,
and SO to see Mistress Kate, and with
NJ. Glass and H. Candy to dinner, which
l payed for, losing the cast at dice. To
see "The Follies of 1920," whose appeal,
save for the comickalities of Fannie
Brice, is wholly visual. A beaker Of
ginger beer, and to home, later than
like, by omnibus, and to-bed.
8-News from my wife how rejoiced
she is that l am to see her on Saturday,
and tells me need not bring the
thermos bottle she. had wrote me about,
which | am glad Of, forasmuch as could
not find it in the place she had told me
it would be. To J. Burgess the dentists,
and 80 to my Office, where till evening,
and with my Cozen Florence to dinner.
Nine-tenths Of the ballades, rondeaus,
and villanelles submitted to this Pillar
Of -Prosody do not conform to the rigid
rules that govern these restricted
forms. That is Why they fail Of pub
lication. If you must write q ballade,
write ballade, not merely three
octets with au envoy.

Mr.. McAdoo, If he had been nomi-
mated, could have made bid for the
Early-to-Bed vote. While the conven-
tion was at what Mr.. F. Scott Fitz-
gerald would call its high point, Mr..
McAdoo was reported as being in bed
by $3.50. And on ordinary evenings he
probably leaps into the fax by s:45.
Philosophers who see sermons in
stones might meditste on the fact that
two Of three candidates for the Presi-
dency are not men who were in the
Army or Navy during the war, and
the third is In Jail for having opposed
the draft.
