lated to the Duke of st. Adams, though
she does not use this fact for publicity,
had her first printed story published in
French. She was trained to be a musi-

bobbed hair straight and with fringe.
The other young novelist is Mrs.
Lorna Rea, daughter Of Glasgow
notable, wife of a Liverpool shipping
employer and niece of Alec Rea, theater
manager and play producer. The book
which has brought her fame is called
1.-The Six Mrs. Greenes" and concerns
three generations of women.
Mrs. Rea, who is fair and energetic,
distinguished herself at Cambridge.
She took good place in her exanina-

so deeply that she sometimes wept as

also to keep these people in more or less sympathy
with the republican party. Some had predicted that
one of the important posts in the cabinet would be
given to a strictly southern man.
The Manufacturers Record, a strong supporter Of
prohibition all these years and a Hoover advocate,
believes that the republican congress will give more
attention to the south during the Hoover administra-
ton than ever before. This belief holds that the re-
publicans will be more in sympathy with the devel-
opment of the south and legislation passed will have
that in mind. This does not mean that the south is
expected to get any more than is due, it is pointed
out, but that this section will be placed on a par with
other parts Of the nation.
Other journals, however, do not believe that the
south Will receive any more consideration in this re-
spect than heretofore for the reason that, If the south
were to receive more, the pork barrel would have to
ment is concerned, it is declared that there have been
no sectional lines and there will not be.
If Mr.. Hoover was expected to name to the cabi-
net a southern man, there must be disappointment If
advance notices Of the personnel Of the cabinet are
true. William Howard Taft picked a Tennessee man
for his cabinet and Mr.. Hoover was declared to have
it in mind to do as much.
After all, however, MIR. Hoover's relations with the
south need not bring up all these things. If he picks
a southern man for his cabinet, those who know him
best declare it will be because the man is qualified
rather than because he happens to be a southerner.
AS for aiding the south's growth, Mr.. Hoover is GER
tain to do all he can just as he will for every other
section. His friends believe he can best retain the
friendship of the south without any obvious catering
and by being a president of the whole country, as he
was elected to be.
