RIDICULES IDEA
OF DUEL OVER
SOCIAL H0N0RS
Alice Longworth Doesn't
Insist on 0utranking
Dolly Gam.
~ Times Special

~ Hfrrfs NDeCtIt
NEW YORK, March 10. - That
widely publicized social duel down
at Washington hasn't been duel
at all, at least so far as one Of its
supposed principals, Alice Roosevelt
Longworth, is concerned. Mrs.
Longworth doesn't care, and never
has cared, whether, as wife Of the
speaker Of the house, she outranks
Mrs. Gam, sister and hostess Of
Vice-President Curtis. at official
social functions. She would be per
fectly happy sitting between our
most obscure congressman and the
Youngest fledgling diplomat.
The first direct word spoken by
Mrs. Longworth on the controversy
that has ker4 Washington society
astir for year is contained in an
interview publish I'D here in the cur
-ent Issue of Smart Set magazine.
Denies Speaking RumOr
ANY one who knows me, knows
Serfectly we'll that 1 don't care In
ne least where I sit at dinner, 3"
she remarks, dismissing the Gam
LongWorth controversy as a thing
that Is non-existent. The rumor
that she and Mrs. Gam are not
on speaking terms is equally with
out foundation, she says.
Mrs. Longworth, whose remark
able poise and charm won for her
the newspaper appellation ~Prin-
cess Alice" when her father was in
the White House, also takes time to
deny the long-lived story that as
WaShington's most sought after
hostess, she has become a silent
power in politics, that her famous
evening salons take the form OF
political round tables where Repub-
hcan leaders, with her counsel, for
mulate the policies they are to pur-
sue in high places.
Idea Ridiculous
1T Is only natural. she will tell
you. that a great number of her
friends are people whose chief in
terest is politics, and that in the
course of an evening, political prob
lens should come in for their share
Of discussion" say her interviewer.
AS for anything more formal than
observation-disclosures she will say"
Since her White House days when
she stood out even among the strik-
ing personalities of the Roosevelt
family, Mrs. Longworth has ap-
pesred periodically in the public
eye. The birth of her only child,
Paulina, after she had reached her
fortieth year, attracted nationwide
interest. And on this, Mrs. Long
worth expresses an interesting opin-
ion in the interview-that the child
OF mature mother is the most for
tunate.
"She came to me at an age when
had no desire to escape from my
responsibilities says Mrs. Long
worth. Had she been born when
1 was a great deal younger, 1 might
have welcomed distractions that
would have taken me away from
her"

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Or. Louis e. Bisch-

BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-
ONE NIGHT as we'll realize
as soon as possible that one
cannot avoid ones own COM
pany.
It is impossible, except for
the briefest time, to get en-.
tirely away from yourself.
True and absolute forgetful-
ness doesn't exist.
Therefore, make your own
company as pleasant and con-
genial as you can!
And at that, it is not so
difficult to make it just about
what you want it to be.
You can despise yourself.
You can make Of yourself a
terrific problem!
You can be content and
happy with yourself!
Try to get outside yourself
and view yourself in an i'm.
personal and disinterested
manner.
A person ought to be able
to get a lot of fun out Of
thinking about what he is do
ing, what he is planning, what
he has already accomplished.
We ought never to be
ashamed or afraid to probe
the innermost receSseS Of our
thoughts and feelings.
If we are, it proves we are
not as good company for our
selves as we ought to be and
might be.
It is often a simple matter to
repair, the little faults Of char
acter that make all the differ
ence in the world.
None of us is a model, and
each of us can improve. And
one of the best reasons for de-
string improvement is that you
may be on as good terms with
yourself as you are with your
dearest friend!
It would be a good idea for
you to begin trying to enhance
the value of your own company
right now.
Give up the notion that you
must continually be on the go,
jumping from one amusement
to another, from one companion
to another.
If you do the best you can
with yourself you really do not
need companionship at all.
Not that I am decrying social
relationship. We all need it ana
should have it, more or less.
But I do condemn the ten
dency so many have Of believ-
ing that they must forever be
running and gadding about
when they might so easily de-
velop themselves and be more
contented with themselves.
So few of us really know our
selves thoroughly. r. d.

grateful to me. But no one but
myself and God know what in

"Pooh!" some cynic will say,
people write you letters like
that on the chance of seeing
their name in print. Just looking
for publicity-that'S ALL"
Guess again, stranger! Never
a day but some unsigned letter
comes to this deSk-Some tired
woman, some busy man, taking
time off to wish me well, telling
me to go on. Never a day but

poor Judge of livestock, bo! No,
man, it's a gift-the greatest
gift on earth.
And how can I pay for that
gift? I can't.
The debt I owe you-always
it goes on, mounting and
mounting. Every laugh and
every tear and every dream you
share with me adds to that
debt. And-in a way-that'S
true of all Of us.
All that we have Is some
