loves the sun and in the warm
weather endeavors to spend a
great deal of her time in its
golden warmth. So when she
went to Virginia this past sum-
ner she Immediately walked
about and selected an isolated,
but very sunny rock, which was
to be her couch" for morning
sun siestas.
One day Frau Thomson no
ticed that the farther end of
her special rock was occupied
by what seemed to be a bundle
of very dark green. She closed
her eyes then opened them
again-the dark green bundle
was still there. Then she de-
cided to look closer and reach.
ing for her glasses nearby pro-
ceeded to take a good, clear
look. The dark green bundle
was a long. comfortable coiled
snake! How it got there Frau
Thomson has never discovered,
nor did she make the slightest
move to find out-then. And
presently, after she and the
snake had enjoyed the sun to-
eether, so to speak, the snake
slid quietly from the rock and
went its way.
MRS. CLINTON TRIBBY,
U1 who has just returned
from Europe, is nursing a frac.
tured elbow. She broke this el-
bow while she was visiting in
Paris and because she caught
her heel on a stairway. How
ever, it did not prevent her
from doing everything she had
planned to do, including long
stay with friends in London.
The surprising coincidence Of
Mrs. Tribby's accident happened
iE London, when she did not re-
ceive an expected letter from
her daughter, Mrs. John Halli-
DAY, wife of the movie actor,
who at that time was visiting
in Colorado, on a ranch. "I
have a feeling" Mrs. Tribby
told her husband, "that Eleanor
(Mrs. Halliday has had an &C.
cident; likely as not been
thrown from a horse and broken
her own arm" The very next
day, a letter arrived, dictated
by Mrs. Halliday to her mother
and telling her that she had
been thrown from a horse and
that her elbow had been tract
ured and-the elbow which had
been fractured was the same as
that of her mothers!

MRS. EDMUND CAMMACK
AVA is firmly convinced ever
since Thursday that airplane
travel is even safer than she
thought. In fact, at times, too
safe. Having dinner engage
ment in Baltimore, Mrs. Cam
mack motored over, and decid-
ing to save time, to fly back,
which is a mere matter of
fifteen minutes. Taking the
plane back to Washington, all
was we'll until one Of the CO.
pilots advised her and the rest
of the passengers that the fog
was So heavy over the Washing
ton airport, that after one cir
cling over, they were afraid
they would have to land the
passengers at Richmond"
Naturally, landing in Rich
mond, Va, was no time saver
to Mrs. Cammack, but that was
exactly where the plane landed
her and all the rest of those in
the plane. She arrived in Wash
ington the next day by train.
BY the time you read this. Mrs.
Cammack will be in Hollywood,
for she left by plane last night
to visit her sister, Acadia. the
famous portrait painter, who is
making her home in the film
capital at present.
