The Bismarck tribune., 1931-11-24

And wife picks up the phone. Sorry
darling, but I'm busy tonight Can't
you make it Wednesday,"
before it's all over she will have made about
100000.
But it isn't so hard for her to remember that
not-far-away day when $63.l was the reward
of years poems; when $50 was paid for q
short story that passed through the hands Of
about ! 3 editors before it finally found mar
ket. Today she can just about name her own
figures.
By way of introduction: Miss Brush ar
rived in New York from East Liverpool. Ohio.
She had married young man who owned
string of middle west newspapers.
Her immediate background included an cru
dte father, Dr.. Charles D. Ingham, who for
some years was tutor and head master at
Dummer Academy. By6eld. Mass. He is now
connected with the Latin Department at Yale.
Her native heath. therefore, is New England,
although her novel scenes have inclined toward
the Ohio sector.
CHE came to Manhattan with definite chip
~ on her shoulder for type of small town.
But she denies that she used East Liverpool a.
the scene for the beginning of ''Red-Headed
Woman"
It's any small town." she insists.
And because she has auburn hair which
turns slightly golden in the sunlight. many have
thought that she used herself as the red
headed heroine-up to given point, of
course. This she also denies.
At any rate. once she had reached Gotham,
Miss Brush found herself melting into the
scene. Within week she was wearing New
Yorksh apparel and within month she was
more smartly dressed than half the women who
pride themselves on attire. Sophistication came
easy to her; she appears to enjoy cocktails. pre-
ferring them to tea.
All of which is part of surface parade, for
while she enjoys the chic and the Continental,
she also worries about her work. carries sharp
wit about with her. is quite sensitive. has def
mite domestic sense. never goes without mani
cure and is terrific worker when on the job.
Rarely is she seen in the same gown twice.
With the result that she has stated that she
rarely has cent, despite her income.
But had lot of old debts" she once
said laushinsly to friend.
As for Winans. he is quite as colorful in hi.
approach to life. He j. but s.. and ha. dealt
in millions.
THE Winans were on their honeymoon when
1 the market began to collapse, and from
his station on shipboard he could see his for
tune slipping away. Then he got a grand
trade plan" The Wheat Sterilization Com
mittee agreed to swap 25.00O.OOO bushels of
wheat for million bags of Brazil coffee.
He went to Brazil-a change made possible
only by the rather cockeyed condition of trade
in the world. This deal brought him back on
his feet. although just few years before he
had Aoated a $30.000.00O loan for Brazil.
1t was this contact that made his later PROPOSE
hon possible.
Just as impetuous was the honeymoon
The Winans had been planning the decoration
of their ultra-modernistic separate apartments:
had selected the furnishings and the color
scheme. when Miss Brush turned to hubby and
said: We'll. let's start for Europe and get away
from this-let'. forget it for the moment
So of they went. leaving the finishing of their
place to the mercy of the decorators.
But when she arrived in Europe. the new
Mrs. Winans began to have feminine fears
about the mirrors and similar details. She
cabled the workers: Don't hang mirror in my
room until return"
1t SO happens that the place selected a. .
residence was in the course Of construction.
When she returned. Mrs. Winan. phoned
the decorator.
''You didn't hang that mirror. did you,' she
inquired.
Il regret. madame same the reply. There
is yet no wall to hang it on.
A few months later. the new home was
ready for occupancy.
And. as previously mentioned. Miss Brush
has her own living room, servants quarters and
telephone.
I'VE make dates with each other and never
make the tacit assumptions about each other
that often prove so irksome to marriage" adds
the petite writer. "Once / was sure was
through with marriage. was free and it felt
grand to be that way. But this is something
else-I could scarcely have imagined such
perfect arrangement"
