House Gives Dern Airport Road Control
BY HELEN EsSARY

# Mrs. James Hamilton Lewis,
who is q genius at palmistry, had
read the hand Of Mr.. Justice Stone
after the charming dinner Of the
Argentinian Ambassador and Nine.
Espil the other night, the fate Of
the TVA might've say might
have been discovered in advance
Of some Monday noon Supreme
Court decision.
Mrs. Lewis said she would in.
deed be happy to find indication
Of the future of the universe in the
hand Of one of those Olympians
who make and unmake civilization
.(or words to that effect).
Mr.. Justice Stone, his eyes
twinkling, said he would enjoy
having his personal future told.
Also, he would like to know in ad.
vance about that decision. But
Somebody then remarked that q
cross on the Mount of Hope would
mean the death Of the iva. And
somebody else said that although
the cross might mean the death Of
the iva, it would indicate the
birth Of freedom.
But that was that. The judicial
palm unfortunately was not read.
Mrs. Swanson, wife Of the Sec
retary Of the Navy, was disap-
pointed. She said she would have
liked to tell Claude, who was
sick in the hospital, about it.
During these nghthearted in
situations Mr.. Curtis B. Munson,
who has Just arrived to help on
the Republican national commit
tee, was discreetly silent. But
bright-eyed.
Senator Lewis was not present
ct Madame Espil's dinner.
Mrs. Lewis said the Senator
had just remembered or somebody
had remembered for him, that he
hadn't filed notice out in Chicago
of his intention to run again for
the Senate.
His Illinois friends called him
on the phone the day before yes
terday and exclaimed:
'sFor heavens sake, don't you
/ realize that we are holding back
. petition signed by 5000 Tor
/. maybe it was $4,000 or even
500,OO0) voters Of the Common
wealth Of Illinois? These citizens
demand that you represent
them in the Senate. II you
don't file your intentions within
the next two days, it will be too
late and you wiH be out Of the
Senate"
So Senator Lewis dashed off in
q hurry and arrived in the nick Of

Mrs. Homer s. Cummings, wife
Of the Attorney General, and wit
Of the Cabinet ladies, says that
women all around town are so brisk
and enterprising that she is afraid
to say she is tired.
IF she happens to mention that
she thinks one luncheon, one muSi-
Gale, six At Homes, one dinner and
one. ball are almost more than
enough social responsibilities in
one day, they say:
whats the matter? Can't
yOu take it?"
There are times, Mrs. Cummings
says, when she wishes she might
have the "vaporS." Her grand.
mother had the "vapors" whenever
she didn't want to do anything
that people told her she should.
Personally, I think the modern
method Of running away has its
advantages over "the vapors." Mrs
Cummings probably does, too
with the Attorney General she is
leaving for long rest in Florida
