Sara gets hold of her and tries TO make her over.
She goes shopping with Aunt Jane and makes her buy smart"
hats that look as if they belonged to some highly painted lady some-
where on the Rue de la Paix, in the dear Paris we hear so much
about, and what do you think? She sent Aunt Jane home in a pair
of shoes three sizes too small and a coat that really should belong
to an opera singer.
And Aunt Jane looked too funny for words, but Sara didn't
think so. Sara didn't want her to look like Aunt Jane; she wanted
her to look like Sara And Aunt Jane felt 50 puzzled and confused
and alarmed she didn't know what to do, s. she just bought the
things end when she gets home she'll give the shoes to her niece
and the hat to the little miliner on Main Street and the opera cloak
oh, she'll save that for fancy dress parties and things. She'll lend
ii, she'll never wear it, no, not even once.
Then there's Miriam-Miriam lives in New York, she has q
funny little place in a funny little street in Greenwich Village.
Miriam has studio parties and her guests sit on the floor and
discuss completes and reactions and all the other modern things,
and she reads books in three languages and she knows a good deal
about music, but clothes?-she never even thinks OF them.
Miriam would snatch a curtain down off of the pole and wear it
for an opera coat and never give it a second thought.
And nobody who knows Miriam would give it a second thought,
either.
Well, Sara gave it a second thought all right, when Miriam
came west for a visit. She dressed the poor thing up and had her
hair marcelled and her hands done and Miriam, who really can
talk like a house afire and interest anybody on earth but a dead
fish at the bottom Of he Dead Sea, felt queer and out OF place and
sort Of sat upon and she never said q word beyond chow do you do"
and goodbye"
And the beauty Of it is Aunt Jane and Miriam m both great
successes in their own particular way of life.
And Sara, in spite Of her Smart" ways and smart" ideas is a
bit of a faiure-shes restless and discontinued and doesn't know
what she wants or how to get it or what to do when she doesn't get it.
Yes, / should call her a real failure, yet she tries to show people
who have made a success in their own way how to make a failure
in hers.
Funny. isn't it?
