anything in his present job to
get excited about. In California
a month or so ago he was dean
of the College of Commerce at
the University Of California.
Worse than that. He was the
business advisor to the oh-so-
active Chamber of Commerce
of California.
He finds his duties at the
State Department restfu con-

Yesterday was one Of those
days that fray out the fine
qualities of any good woman.
For instance, the hasty trip
to the dentist, unhappy child IN
hand. The arrival at Columbia
Medical Building five minutes
late for appointment to find den
lists office is blocks away at
Medical Science Building.
The discovery that moths had
spent a happy summer IN lam
ily's choicest garment OF scotch
tweed.
The revelation that coat pur-
chased in smart Fifth Avenue
shop after hours of weary search
is identically like coat bought by
occasional Cousin Edith last win
ter for $40 less than New YORK
purchase.
The realization that woman
whom you avoided because her
personality irritated you is con-
sidered Every much your own
type, my dear"
Brooding over such surprises
as these, said to a Supreme
Court Justice last night:
SLOW wonderful it must be,
Mr.. Justice, to know absolutely,
as you do, that you are always
right"
always right, my dear
Madam! A member Of the
Supreme Court may want the
country to believe he is always
right in his decisions. Person.

right. Nights before an i'm

! A magnificently human tri.
bunal, the Supreme Court Of the
United States!
! This observation naturally
has nothing to do with Supreme
Court decisions. But the fas-
cinating haircut of the brilliant
Nancy Cook, Mrs. RooSevelt'S
companion on automobile trips
here and there throughout the
country, does somehow remind
me of the way Justice Brandeis
does his hair. If Mr.. Justice
Brandeis would comb his locks
a little more forward and up.

amazing.
When President and Mrs.
Roosevelt look at the revived
Williamsburg today, they will
probably know (being Roose.
velts) that the clay for the re-
production of old English and
Colonial brick was dug up after
great searching from a deposit
20 feet below ground. The de-
pesit covered about a hundred
acres.
In his search for English ball
clay, Mr.. P. M. Grieneauer, who
did much of the excavating, un.
earthed a glass furnace of 1860.
A nearby deposit produces a
glass that, aged under waters
which flow through a certain
sand deposit, takes on a color
and irrideScence like that of the
old wine bottles found at Will
liamsburg, Green Spring and
Jamestown.
