 working here, he has lost exactly as many pounds as his dainty little
 Mexican wife, Frieda, weighs-si
 pounds.
 He still weighs somewhere near
 200, however His whole hearty
 gusto in life shows itself at the
 table. one of eight at a dinner,
 Diego usually eats as much as the
 other seven. His idea of dtetinS

 Dorothy Thompson (Mrs Sin- clair Lewis) is hurrying up to their Vermont farm to get little rest. She is the most feted returned traveller in New York this spring. She comes straight from Germany. At g. luncheon at the Junior League Club, where Suzanne La Toilette, Anna O'Hara McCor-- mick, Evelyn Dewey. members or the Foreign Policy Association and other importants pelted her l with questions, she only managed | to eat one bite of chicken patty and two teaspoonsfuls of chocolate | ice cream between replies.
 Hitler she describes as the per- feet antithesis of hard rd-driving. forceful, dynamic Mussolini. Hit- ler's appeal is feminine, persua- sive, sympathetic. emotional. He | has real sex appeal! At every meeting she attended. the other | leaders shouted to rouse the young l and old to action, harangued them. Then Hitler would stand up l-quiet, graceful-and hush would fall on the crowd. He would lean over. spread out his arms and say, in persuasive, wooing, meas- ured tones, 'I need every one of you. Each of you needs each other. We must all work to- gether." Then the bands would begin to play and everybody would go off singing and marching. "And," says Dorothy ThompsorIs "just get millions of men, women, and children marching, and they all will think they are going somc- where." ss
