The Sad Passing
of Miss Cary.
It is not only those who knew
Elisabeth Luther Cary personally, but
thousands of her readers in the New
York Times. and many who enjoyed
her delightful books, who feel in her
passing a lamentable loss. Among
the most beautiful tributes paid her
are from those who worked with her
daily and who were conscious of the
breadth and beauty Of her nature.
There was charming, frank CANA
raderie about her which endeared her
to those with whom she came in con-
tact. The open letters which are said
to have poured into the paper after
her death-and but few of which
could be published-are living tributes
to the love and esteem in which she
was held.
Miss Cary was perhaps better
known as an art critic than a writer,
although one of her intimates said
she never liked to call herself or to
be formally called a critic" She
liked better the terms, reviewer" or
commentator. Her books, The
Art of William Blake" and Artists
Past and Present." are delightful
reading to the layman as well as to
the professional, and her books on
Browning and Emerson reveal the ar
tistic and poetic side of her nature
as much and perhaps more than her
art criticism Her book of recipes
Books and My Food" in which she
collaborated with her friend, Annie
M. Jones. is simply delightful, delec-
table and a little classic that would
satisfy gourmet, whether of food or
wit.

The Art Critic
Is an Epicure.

Miss Cary says, in the preface to
her book of recipes: In making up
| this collection Of recipes suggested
by quotations chiefly from English
novelists and poets, our idea has been
not to provide Bohemian fare for our
| readers or give them unfamiliar or
unrelished diet, but to show what a
varied list might be gathered from
works OF well-known writers of dishes
most Of them equally we'll known"
This book is arranged with recipes
for every day in the year, with some
thing like the heading of the months
in the old almanacS-each has quo
| tation either in prose or verse. A
recipe for mixing mustard-dear to
the Englishman's roast beef-is a
quotation from Shakespeares Tam
| ing of the Shrew' The Mustard
is to hot little" Can one imagine it
being too hot for the shrew, Kath-
arina? And this one from Peg Wof-
| fington" heads the recipe for brandy
cherries: Bless my soul! Our words
used to come out like brandy cher
ries; but now sentence is like rasp-
berry jam, on the stage, and Off"
An eager and sunny and valiant
spirit" as Elisabeth Cary has been
described by one who knew her well,
would be graceful epitaph for her.

yet tastelesS. He could not nor did he
particularly care to relish the food.
Not when he could look into the most
soulful blue eyes he'd ever seen. And
that wavy honey-colored hair. Why, it
was brighter than the real product
on the table. All this had a peculiar
effect on Lewis speech.
II" he stammered, wish you'd
tell me your name"
She looked at him and smiled.
Lewis could have strangled a lion at
that moment.
'Sue-Sue Denies. Now about
your story. You see you have your boy
and girl falling in love too quickly. 1t
just doesn't work out like that in real
life. 8. Are you listening to me?"
And then it happened. Her eyes met
Lewis and before he could turn of
the admiration she knew. He saw it
in the blue eyes that suddenly dropped
and in the confused manner with
which she handled her fork. He'd
have to say something before they'd
both burn up with embarrassment.
Yes" he improvised, you're right.
Go ahead"
She smiled indulgently, like a mo-
ther who loves her child's weaknesses.
Lewis could have strangled another
lion.
You weren't listening. -. was
boring you"
ROR1NG him! This blond Venus
boring him If she only knew. If
she could listen to his heart, hear the
thunderous beats. He himself could
hardly hear his voice.
| Sue" he blurted, suddenly no
longer able to fight the feeling, Il
think you're the loveliest girl I've ever
SEEN"
She blushed and Lewis heart leaped
more madly. Blushing he knew was
| a good sign. If she didn't care she
wouldn't have blushed.
Il can't hip it," he went on reck-
leSsly. "I-oh, confound it, what was
I saying?"
He searched her features, praying
! for some sign to continue. But none
came. She was playing with the des-
sert. her pink face half hidden by
luxurious hair so softly radiant he
fought a temptation to touch it. He
tried drinking coffee.
We'll, why don't you go on?"
Lewis dropped the coffee cup on his
saucer. Had he heard correctly? Was
she truly encouraging him? Had those
wonderful words come from her lips?
They must have. For she was smiling
at him.
Sue" he said louder than he should
have. you feel the same?"
She nodded
But you said it doesn't work out in
real life That young man and girl
can't fall in love so quickly. That"
Il was wrong"

think? Perhaps she was one OF those
stiff, rait-laced things, would COM
plain of a masher on board.
Still, there must be a way. Some
artifice that wouldn't look obvious.
He had it. He'd go to the door as
If disboarding, then say "Pshaw, wrong
street." or some other fitting eXcla-
nation of annoyance and sit next to
the girl. 1t would look as if he'd
made a perfectly natural mistake.
And since the girl sat in the front
seat nearest the door, that too would
look natural.
1t worked perfectly, and Lewis lost
no time in putting his query. BY
the way," he said offhandedly as if
he'd had a hundred instead Of one
story publiShd, Il see you're reading
my story. Like it?"
She turned her head, regarded him
ouizAcally, as if, Lewis thought, she
didn't think it possible. He blushed
TO the roots Of his thick brown hair.
"I suppose I don't look like an
author"
CHE laughed.
~ "Oh, it isn't that. It's just that
I think-well, it's the first time I
ever saw an author"
He took a deep breath. "Do-do
SOU like my story?"
She glanced back to the magazine,
A little froWn gave her small-girl
appearance.
We'll, I don't think strange boy
and girl can become intimate friends
in eight hcars. You even have
them engaged"
Lewis slumped. She didn't like the
story. And if she didn't, many like
her probably had the same opinion
He'd hoped to sell the editor often
But if this were an index OF reader
interest it looked pretty bad for him.
"Of course, that's only my opinion
It's still a good story, though"
Trying to buck me up, Lewis
thought. Nice of her. But he felt
no better. He'd expected her to rave,
use feminine superlatives like Darling
of story" This sudden letdown had
proved TOO much for him. Especially
after he'd thought it was such a
whale of story, still thought it was.
Doggone it, he'd fight it out! He
affected a superior air and said. "Re-
member this is a modern age. Things
move faster. Even love is stream
lined"
That sounded like an epigram, and
for the moment she felt better. He
hoped she would be properly impressed.
She was not.
You forget that human nature
doesn't change. We're not any differ
ent than our grandparents except in
clothes"
Then my story doesn't ring true?
Because, as you say. human nature
would prevent a young man and girl
from becoming engaged in eight
hours"

NOVEL PLOT TO
 KILL ENGINEER
His Wife Hired Negroes to Wreck Train-Wanted
 to Marry Another

Pensacola, Fla, April 9-(UP)- Railroad detectives charged .attrac- tive Mrs. L. w. Vann today with hiring two negroes to wreck train on which her 70-year -old husband was engineer, hoping he would be killed so that she might marry an- other man with his insurance as dowry. Only the fact that the ne- groes did not understand the action of train wheels flanges on rails thwarted two attempts to execute the plot, near Cantonement, Fla, authorities said.
 Negroes Confessed
 Sheriff H. E. Candy said the negroes, Allen Langston, and Allen Finley, 16, confessed that for $50 in hand and the promise of $500 addi- tional they twice pulled spikes from rails over which Vann's train pass ed. The rails spread and buckled under the train both times but be- cause Langston and Finley remov- ed spikes only from the inside rail on curve, the train passed safely Had the outer rail been loosened, railroad men said, the wheel flanges swinging outward with the weight and centrifugal force of a speeding train would certainly have made the plot success.
 Mrs. Vann Denies It
 Mrs. Vann, middle aged but comedy, denied the negroes story vehemently. But Sheriff Candy held her and Earl Travis of Castle berry, Ala, Mrs. Vann under charges filed by railroad officials and Travis for investigation. A re- port that Vann made to his super iors, without any suspicion that his death was sought. led to discovery of the alleged plot. Although his train roared safely over the Sabo- tagged sections of track, he felt the give in the rails with the surety engenedered by long years in cab. At the second occurance of sabot- age, railroad detectives made a prompt, vigorous investigation that led them to Langston and Finley.

DIVINITY MILLS
 INVESTIGATED

Los Angeles, April g. (UP) - Southern California ministers today urged state investigation of "ordin- atiOn mills" which assertedly grant divinity degrees by mail for nominal suns-even one for Joe Penner's duck. U. L. Di Ghelini, investigator for the Los Angeles Ministerial As- sociation, announced that a mass meeting of more than 400 ministers would be held Tuesday to demand formally that the state end the racket.
 The investigator said he had ob- tained certificate of ordination for radio performer Penner's duck under the name of Drake GooGoo. The comedian consented to the ruse when Di Ghelini said 1t would aid in exposing certain pseudo-church organizations.
 Dr. Isaac P. Ward. Presbyterian pastor who heads the ministerial Associations special Investigating committee, said that the organiza- tion they checked had issued ap- proximately 1000 ordination certifi- cates during the past year.
