And still they chatter about Marion
Talley, and why she did It! Which
reminds us of Marion's mother who
mildly commented that she didn't
know just why Marion was doing It,
but whatever she wanted to do was
okay with her. At first thought, one
might make q crack at the supinesS
Of the maternal spirit exhibited here.
Still, when q swan child has raised q
parent to fame and fortune, 1t is
rather meet and seemly that the child,
who happens to be an adult, has
something to say about how and
where the family which she is sup
porting shall live. This is typically
American belief. Many a foreign
parent lives on its children, dictates
their lives. and get away with 1t.

ANNA'S SNUB
Anna Pavlowa, famous dancer, has
been sending back to Moscow about
$500 q year to help members Of the
Moscow grand opera ballet who are
rather destitute. This year the money
was sent back. Anna was called
darling Of capitalists" and COM
manded to take back her gold"
That might be principle and COM
mand our respect. Again, it might
merely be sour grapes because one of
them had prospered and they had
not.
Most Of US prefer the dramatic
gesture which makes q person whom
we envy feel small rather than re-
ceiving from them any Of the things
we need.

Queen Mary who Is about to Of
ficiate at the spring royal presenta-
tions, has sent out word that dresses
must be a little longer than last
year: trains not extend more than II
inches; q fan or bouquet must be car.
ried: plumeS must be worn in the
hair, the middle one higher than thu
other two, and that arms must not bt
too bare.
These rules certainly simplif.
things for the ladies favored to at.
tend. But we would favor less uni.
forimity from the viewpoint Of ths
innocent spectator.
