while strolling around New York;
Flakes OF snow! How I'd like to
coast down Academy Hill back
home Pop corn balls on the street
corners. There's something fssci-
mating about a window full of mu-
steal instruments. Secretly, l be-

signal. I'll appear unconcerned.
OH For lodge in some vast
wilderness. All the women are
craning their necks to see Eugene
o'Brien. Wonder what he makes

Avery Hopwood. Has four plays
running on Broadway. Used to be
a reporter ip Cleveland. A British
officer wearing a monocle Of smoked

steamers drifting out to sea.
