Miss La Toilette. q cousin Of

Toilette was q member Of the

his daughter, Suzanne, received

the Capital.
A gifted writer she is the
author Of several books and
numerous magazine articles.
Her most recent work. Art
in America" was published
several months ago and Is re.
ceivtng enthusiastic praise from
the reviewers.
The New Freeman will have
attached to its staff in the role
of dramatic critic the inimit-
able George Jean Nathan,
whose withdrawal from part
nership with H. l.. Mencken in

Gently announced.
Miss La Toilette was the

The New Freeman is the
legitimate successor to the
Freeman, formerly published
by Miss La Toilette and sus-
pended from publication some
years ago. The periodical
boasted on its staff Of contribu-
tors a list of distinguished
authors but was unable to
make the grade financially.
Miss La Toilette believes
that there is a wider demand
today for this particular type
of magazine and expects her
new literary endeavor will be
more successful.
1t is to be a weekly publica-
ton.

will open their palatial George

Although the Blisses bought

They converted q house

For a number of years Mr..

Just about the time the man
