critics hope she will give herself a
chance to devote her ready pen to
some of the problems of the day.
Capt. Calhoun proves a wonderful
support in ali her activities and en-

should he have chosen that as a life

edly made as great a success of that
as he has of the law and banking.

interesting impersonation of a vir-

The mirror is held up to Washing

observe, and the material she draws
upon should be realistic and autnen-

life will contribute types, the
diplomatic, residential and official
circles. All are touched upon with
delicate irony.
