Hutchinson Meets Lewis

When A. s. M. Hutchinson met Sin.

to own up that he had not read Main
Street" Lewis, however, was able to
retaliate by stating that the perusal Of
'If Winter Comes was a pleasure still
in store for him. Once this confession
was out of the way they became good
friends.

stated: Il am not sure that / think

Hutchinson and Lewis. It is interesting
TO note that ''If Winter Comes" has
succeeded Main Street" as the best
selling book in Ameyica. Published in
the autumn Of 1920. main Street" has

CLARE'S DIARY
A Chatty Record of Experiences
in Philadelphia, New York
and Other Cities

Mrs. Glare Sheridan'S MY Ameri- =
can Diary" (Bondi & Liverisht) will
be found much more interesting to
Americans than her Russian diary pub
lished last year.
Mrs. Sheridan. it will be recalled. is
a member Of the British aristocracy
widowed by the war, who has cast her
lot with the artistic and bohemian
groups and is supporting herself as
a sculptor and a lecturer. She is a
woman throbbing with vitality and. in
A psychoanalyist might make an in :
teresting resume Of the forces at work
within her which have led her so far
afield from the environment in which
she was born.
Her American diary makes no pre-.
tense to be literature. 1t is merely tho
chatty record Of her experiences and
of her Impressions of the people whom
she has met. Her kinship with the
Jerome family of New York. to which
her mother and her aunt, Lady Randolph
Churchill, belonged, gave her the cntree
to New York society, and her artistic
interests attracted to her the painters
and sculptors and literary folk for whom
society with capital "S' has little use.
She is frank in her comments. Mrs.

living in house without grace or
charm. She was delighted with Bernard
Baruch and Mrs. Otto Kahn. and she
liked Haywood Broun.
The Philadelphia Orchestra she found
"heavenly.' She was pleased with her
visits to this city, though she was a
little staggered by the strenuousness of
her entertainment. The person about
whom she grows most enthusiastic Is
Charlie Chaplin. whom she met in Cali
fornia and Of whom she made n bust
which an observer said. suggested Pan.
1t ia a Chaplin little known to the world

his artistic creed to her. and that was
to "make something because it means

nothing so beautiful as to make people
forget their eggs and bacon for break .
fast, he said. and "as for admiration OF
the world-it's not worth anything
there is no end but to please one s
SELF"
The book is full of indiscretions and
perhaps it is the more interesting for
that. Reading it is like listening to this
vital Englishwoman with a wide expert
ence in the world tell frankly what she
saw and did and thought for LONG
period in the United States.

rang. Since he was quite alone,
he had perforce to answer the call.

He sighed as he put down the
receiver and pressed bell, which
was answered by his capable
stenographer, book in hand.

Miss Staverly says she will walk
out unless her song is put back.
Tell him to encourage her"
"To do what?'
"To walk out" said Mr.. Nor
peth in his sad, even tones. "She
has a six months contract, and
she draws like a property magnet"
He tossed a letter across. "An-

a very hard profession, full of dis
appointments and temptations. And

letter, looked up.

other letter to her. "This man
wants three stalls for Thursday

form on which some figures were
scrawled.

THE Office of Mr.. Gallet-Mor-
peth was situated on the top
floor Of very high building.
1t was said that he had chosen this
position in the hope that a time
would come when elevators would
cease to function, so that he might
spend at least one day without in
terviewing indignant and sighted
stars. For Mr.. Morpeth was a
theatrical manager, of considerable
wealth and influence. Except for
two framed play-bills that hung
on the walls, and a scene model
that stood on a table, there was
little in the office, or even in his
appearance to suggest his unhal-
lowed calling. He was a stout,
bald man, mild of face and modest
of demeanor, and he smoked a
pipe that was black and polished
and of respectable size.
That pipe lay on his writing
table and he himself was standing
before the scene model whistling
