Miss Garden can do things which other people
accomplish clumsy, and yet she retains her
grace. She showed this in dieting, for apparent
ly she enjoyed breakfasts and dinners quite as
much as other people, and only those close to
her knew of this new treatment
Nevertheless, the fact remained that Miss Gar
den ate only one neal day. That, she said,
was sufficient, because it kept her weight at 125
pounds, which she considered ideal.
What was the reason for all this? Those who
frequent the Cote d'Azure, well those in
other walks of life. have learned to look for
reasons. Surely there must be something behind
all this dieting and sun bathing and exercising.
And perhaps-iust perhaps-it wasn't musical.
Suddenly the scene shifted. and those who
really had the ''inside track let appraisng
glances enfold a young Frenchman NJ Pierre
Piesses. After they had scrutinized him they
gave grunts of satisfaction. For M. Pesses
altogether a pleasing figure of man, and

NJ. Plesses has the plaudts Of his fellows in the
profession. He is known among them for the
keenness Of his perception and the veor with
which he works. whether It be at routine journal
istic endeavor or along critical lines. One Incl
dent in his life to reveal something of his
dashng bravery.
Some years ago there was much trouble in
France with smugglers. Apparently the situa-
ton was out of hand. for the authorities seemed
unable to stem the tide Of alien goods which
flowed into the country duty free. Just what
was the situation? Everybody was asking and
NJ Plesses decided to supply the answer.

it is rumored that more than one OF
these gifts bore the name of Mary Garden.
Then, when he was up and about again, he was
frequently seen in company with her Finally,
from Mediterranean resort came the news OF
an engagement luncheon which had been held
aboard yacht lying off the resort. The engaged
couple, the report said, were Mary Garden and
Pierre Plesses.
~ told you So" said the wiseacres. And there
was quite a stir in Paris and New York. But
then came a second report, and this time it was
from Miss Garden. She didn't deny the engage
ment, but she said: 'l'm not ready to marry yet"
This peculiarly worded statement led to con-
lecture along another line. 1t was recalled that
Miss Garden once delivered long and idealistic
statement regarding the Prince of Wales and
the proper solution to his marital problem. The
Prince of Wales should never marry, said Miss
Garden and she summed up the whole matter
as follows
'Now | think. as Bernhadt and La valliere
the perfect man. The ideal career for the Prince
would he to give the world splendid example
of cethacy--to marry no one.
His brothers can look after the matter Of
royal succession. Young George is handsomer
than the Prince anyway, although perhaps not
SO charming.
The Prince can be our example of perfect
love by being, man who denies himself to all
women while loving all THERE is carcer,'
Now, reasoned some of Miss Gardens friends,
this might be perfect for the Prince Of
Wales but what is the matter with it also be-
ing perfect for Mary Garden? And
then they began to see daylight. For even while
devoting herself entirely to her music Miss
Garden could undertake this second career which
she was kind enough to map out for the Prince.
That. her friends felt sure had been her in
tention before she met NJ. Plesses. OF course
she had met scores of men, and many fond at
tachments had been formed. They remembered
for instance. her love for Oscar Hammerstein
Miss Garden made bones about it. but in
stead boasted of their beautiful friendship Oc-
casionally there had been clashes of tempera-
ment. but these served only to cement their
friendship. and the intimate little notes ex-
changed between the two were source Of de-
light to the star.
And then there had been others Some one
even started rumor that Miss Garden would
like to make a concert tour with Gene Tunney,
having heard of the champions celestial rendi-
tons on the harp. But this rumor was not taken
seriously by those who knew Miss Garden.
Yet, everything seemed to point toward de-
sire, on Miss Gardens part to emulate the
career which she marked out for the Prince of
Wales. That is. everything pointed that way
until Miss Gardens 'yes-no" statement about
her engagement I'm not ready to marry yet"
Why the vet" asked some For while they
remembered her attitude toward love and mar
rage, perhaps they forgot another very i'm
portant thing. and that the warning of the

to raise their eyebrows
and exchange inquiring
glances. They could UNI

beautiful and graceful.
But, after all, was it
worth a lot of really hard
work?

has 80 much dash and verve that he might well
have stepped from the romantic pages Of some
thrilling novel Of the French Foreign Legion, and
his colorful background and personality blend
beautifully with the thoroughly individual ideas
which Miss Garden has often expressed on the
subjects Of love and marriage.
Many men, strong and able, have tried TO win
through the narrow pass to the opera stars At
fections, but they failed. Then along came Mary's
black-eyed hero-and thereby hangs the tale!
"Love? Yes! Marriage! Nov'
Thus succinctly has Miss Garden summed up
her attitude toward the love and marriage ques-
ton. And then, very recently, she elaborated:
"Love is wonderful-there is nothing like it.
What would the world be without it? Certainly
no woman can accomplish big things unless she
knows love. It broadens and sweetens her nature
as nothing else can. Good work is not possible
without it,
But then Miss Garden added few remarks
from a professional standpoint She chose early,
she said, to devote her life to her career. Mar
riage, as she interrrets it, is serious business
