Don't Quote Me

Washington, Jan. 25.-UP).- Mrs Henry T. Rainey is achieving a reputation which she doesn't de- serve as a poet. It's beginning to worry her. but since her memory is none too good there's nothing she can do abou 1t.
 The trouble started innocently enough when Mrs Rainey met the young girl who played Alice in onderland in a recent movie. Mrs Rainey thought it would be. nice for Alice to meet her husband, sneaker of the house. at tea. That was arranged and MT mad Mrs Rainey found Alice charming.
 A few weeks later Mrs Rainey ran across an inspirational poem and immediately thought of Alice. so she copied the poem and sent 1t to Hollywood. There Alice took the poem to the newspapers In Los Angeles which credited Mrs Rainey with being it's author. The head- lines make her blush.
 Mrs Rainey can't remember who really wrote the poem or exactly what It's title is. That is hampering her in her efforts to prove she isn't q plagiarlst.
