Nice Things

Mrs. Smith said a lot of very
nice things about Mrs. Andrews
personal and professional careers
and what she has made OF both
and then introducer the latter,
who told some more things about
both, frequently giving a witty
touch by calling on her cousin,
Mr.. Lucien Powell. the artist, to
verify her sallies.
But Miss Janet Richards, she
who gives current events talks,
made perhaps the most direct
remark about Mrs. Andrews when
she compared the latter to new
wine in old bottles" Not that
Mrs. Andrews is so old for she
said herself that she was ap-
preaching her fifty-ninth birth
day and had known Mr.. Powell
So. years-but she has a very
youthful way with her personality
that makes it hard to believe that
she came way up here from way
down yonder in Virginia so long
ago when as she said, decent"
person couldn't be anything but
poor in that country.
However, it's an Ill wind and
80 forth, for Mrs. Andrews has
been less poor since she wrote
her Memories OF a Poor Rela.
ton" and after that From My
Studio Window" And her pub
fishers have three more books for
her to write.
Mrs. Nina Reed took charge
following Mrs. Andrews and intro
duced the remaining celebrities.

did not need a microphone, but l
supposed she did not want the
others to feel bad. And then too
It helped to keep the radio man
awake.
More Celebrities
The other celebrities were
Frances Warner, known in mar.
rted circles as Mrs. Hersey; and
Paul Wilstach, also of Washing
ton like Mrs. Andrews; and Sally
Farnham, the sculptor. The first
mentioned told about the uninten.
tional charm OF men, which she
has named a book after, and
gave five examples.
Mr.. Wilstach did not wish to
tell about himself or his new
book about travel in Italy, so
ne only stood UP second or two
and let everybody ses how nice
and intelligent he looks. The
sculptor was taken by surprise
when Mrs. Reed asked her 10

at the head table sitting instead
with friends at another table.

Right Up Front
Well. l had quite 4 nice seat
right up by the celebrities
table and saw pretty much Of
what was going off and on.
Well, have seen celebrities, or
words to that effect, here, there
and everywhere from time to
time, but I want to say right
here and now that I have never
seen more pleasing lot of
celebrities than those on yes-
terday's program - although
Mrs. Minnigerode Andrews
cIassed them as second-raters,
including herself. That is, she
means that they were not first
rate, not ranking with Mrs.
Mary Roberts Rinehart, or
Zane Grey, or Harold Bell
Wright, or people Of that liter
ary ilk.
However, she made it plain
that they had place in this
world right In between the first
rate and the masses, making a
sort of literature sandwich as
it were, where they could do
lot Of really worthwhile good
for the world and humanity at
large and perhaps get paid
something for it too, for there
is a lot Of circulation in such
writings.

accepted into the home, he had a
feeling that she looked at him
casually. He was just one more

between them was recreated.

turned, indefinitely.
Somehow, 1T was flat. She had
previously urged him. it seemed,
with a kind of desperation to make
something of his life-to elevate
himself above the laborers OF the
field. On that weiI-remembered
night it had appeared that only MS
faltering status as a man had
stood between them.

physical appeal she might have

Invitation. They had been that
near to the elimination of love,
but the delicious madness OF that
night had vanished.
It was as though their lips had
never clung warmly together-as
though she had never implored
him to shoulder his way up to a
plane where she could respect
him as an outstanding man
among men. she smiled and their
hands clasped as she bade him
goodnight, but no electric current
flowed.
with the coming of another
day, Eddie returned to the in
terminable labor of the farm.
With a kind of passion that was
an alchemic result of thWarted
romance he threw himself violent

nights revolved in an alienation

her dark eyes devoured him.
Good God, Eddie, I've been

Not so soon was he able to
think of the complications her de-
scent upon him would bring.

Still he was not definitely think

''You made a mistake"

Its allg.wrong. You can't stay

Bernice Veressi picked at the ends
of her gloves and took them off.
Her eyes were dark, impenetrable

She sat down slowly in chair.
In the oid-fashioned room with

she burned vividly--dark and ex-
otic against the quiet background.
Her smartness transported Eddie's
mind back to New YOrk-to the
flash of Broadway.
She was silken and sinuous In
her trim gray tailored suit; brill
liant contrasts of color intensified
her; red heels lit the gray suede
slipper; her leather bag, and the
small cloth hat, too, were red.
The smooth sweep Of gray
silken legs was revealed inti-

come, Eddie?'
You don't understand" he be-

continue.
"I couldn't help myself-1've

the wanting kept on growing.
