And when saw his name in the news paper in the list of hotel arrivals, l telephoned to the Waldorf. He seemed 50 pleased to hear from me. He said that he was sailing in the morning, 50 we must have Q good visit that afternoon. He said he had an errand down town and would meet me in front of the World building ct 2 o'clock.
 "EIe was waiting for me when I came to the Bridge .. If I had been his own daughter, he couldn't have been kinder. Like a couple of happy children we crossed City Hall Park to Broad- way where he hailed Q cab and ordered the driver to take us to the Cunard Line Pier.

 Continuing she told me that from the Cunard pier they had the cab take them up town to Riv- erside Drive, and dined at the Claremo Restaurant, near Grants Tomb, on the veranda overlooking the Hudson River and from there, she said, they came directly down to a Broadway theater.
 And that when the play was over-they bade each other good bye as they were going out Of the theater-that he helped her on her Broadway car for the Brook lyn Bridge-and then, she said. he started for his hotel--and the last she saw of him from the car win- dow, he was standing on the side- walk waving his hand to her.
