alone with one who was called an
| intellectual woman, his friends
hoping that he might marry her,
for he had expressed a willingness
to marry any woman VINO had a
sufficiently great mind, he emerged
from the interview with the re-
mark that she would not do at all.

she had ga small mind in constant
activity" From Gas | Like IT., by

Miss Edna Ferber has learned
that there is such thing as being
| too popular She has been trying
for several months to get down to
serious work on her new novel, but
there We're SO many Interruptions
and SO many invitations that she
found she was making very little
Roadway. In desperation she
| packed up her writing paraphernal-
ia and sailed for Europe, where she
hopes to be able to work undisturb-
ed, On the very day of her de-
| parture she telegraphed her pub
fishers, 81 am sailing tonight at
midnight, and am just as much sur
prised as You are.'
