 New York.--There is a pleasant little story connected with the fact that Elizabeth (Mrs Dwight) Nor rows book for children, "Bird, Beast and Fish," is just out, in- stead of being published late last summer as planned.
 Mrs Morrow wanted to dedicate 1t to the little children in the fam fly, so it's printing was held up | until the expected second child of her favorite nephew, Richard J. Scandrett arrived Now it is dedicated to her sisters adopted daughter, her grandson, Jon Lind bergh, and to her nephew Dicks two children, Nancy Day and Dwight Morrow scandrett.
 
 Telling the Author Ben Lucien Burinan tells a tale about how dislllusloning 1t some times is for readers to meet auth ors.
 His new book "steamboat Round the Bend," has been running seri- ally in a monthly magazine and his local newsdealer has taken a par ticular interest in his, patrons who have remarked about liking the story. He often told Burnan in particular about one old man, second hand store dealer. The other day, when Ben was buying some papers, the news dealer said, "Oh, wait minute, here comes that old man who is your greatest ad- | mirer."
 When the newsletter told the old man that Ben was the author of the story he liked so much the former backed off, looked him over from head to foot, and said: believing him he was glad that he had lived down there, been on the boats, knew everybody and so | forth.
 Still unconvlnced, the old man, in wary tone, said, "Well, the man who wrote that story knew what he was talking about" After a little more cDnver. sation, the old man showed
 how completely unconvlnced he was. Leaning close, he be- | gan telling Burnian about the
 plot of Burnian's own story,
 l,art of which has to do with
 a trial.
 ."Ihcy think they are going
 to hang tlmt man," the old
 man cOnflded tO the author.
 "Eut they aren't"
 And with that he walked
 away, leaving Burinan and
 ihe newsdealer feeling rather
 silly.

However, the big brute of Russian captain, instead of the usual pigskin, car ried an enormous bouquet of flow CTS and, midst stirring cheers. rushed over, bowed low and pre- sented 1t to the Turkish captain. l Not to be outdone, the Turk quick ly handed his football to a follow and, lowing low, accepted the bouquet, to tho complete delight of the entire stadiup. |
