you could be. Why do you seem
20 different In your pictures?"
John L. looked at her coldly,
and deity replied:
That's my business"
The adoring garden party lady
was probably struggling to define
Mr.. LewiS's almost startling ap-
pearance. There's quality about
the Father of the Sit Down
Strikes that makes most other
men look unimportant.
In Mrs. Meyers home he was
surrounded by people who whirl
the national and the international
world around. Yet most any
stranger coming into the setting
would have seen John L. Lewis
flrst in the crowd and asked:
"WhO Is that mani"
John L. Lewis is like a piece Of
granite roughly, but surely cut.
He's square and immovable and
bulky. Yet he is the personifica-
ton Of irresistible force.
His face is q contradiction. The
Jaws are heavy, the eyebrows war
like. But the thin aristocratic
nose and the pale eyes that look
Tar beyond the immediate present
give him the look of an aScetic, al
most Of Q crusader.
ANY pretty young creature who
can produce play successfully in
the rush Of a school commence
ment delights me. There, for in
stance, are the members Of the
Torch Club Of Holton-Arms School,
about to put on their annual
spring drama with exams, grad
uation events and parties whizzing
around them. On Monday eve
ming, May 81, they are giving Mrs.
Moonlight" at Pierce Hail. :
And giving it well, i guarantee.
The rehearsalS show a really pro
fessional touch. The young
actresses understand the SubtletieS
Of their roles. Their settings are
effective and their costuming is
Skillful.
Miss Betty Lou Jones, who is
likely to take top honors at Holton
graduation day on June /, has
the leading role, Mrs. Moonlight.
Elsie Hill, daughter Of Mrs. John
Philip Hill, is doing Mr.. Moon
light.
Miss Adele Bunker. whose
mother, Madame Augusta RosSo,
now in Moscow with her husband,
the italian Ambassador to the
Soviet, also will have prominent
part.
Miss Barbara Boiling, who is the
niece Of Mrs. woodrow Wilson,
has another important role. Pa
tricia Prochnik, daughter of the
Austrian Minister and Madame
Prochnik, will be the amusing
Percy, Miss Betty Lloyd Hutchi-
son, who is president Of the Torch
Club, has q difficult characteri.
Sation and so has Lucy Claggett.
GAS You Like It" win be the en-.
terprising effort Of the eighth
grade at National Cathedral
School on Friday night. Cos
tunes are being made, lines re-
cited at home and abroad. When
the show goes on Mr.. Shake
speare'S- wisdom will be spoken
with a flourish and an under
standing.
Modern education is fascinating
in its breadth and variety. Look
ing back I wonder if those dear
old three RS weren't a pretty
stupid preparation for the COM
plications Of life.
Presidential encourages are like
sailors. They leave broken hearts
at every port.
Down in Galveston, Tex, there
Is a messenger boy, johnnie
number "a, he is-who's wishing
Mr.. Roosevelt and his gang would
come back again very soon. 1t
was Johnnie'S happy duty to rush
the copy for the gentlemen Of the.
preSg who waited on shore while
Mr. Roosevelt was Keeling in the
bid fish. To Mr.. D. Harold Oil
ven one of the journalists, John
ME \ -ote hopefully as follows:
Mr.. Oliver:
After the gang left, I didn't feel
like I would be at home when I
went back to the maine office.
All the boys start calling me big
shot know that they were mad
because they couldn't come out at
the Galvez and work. Tell Mr..
Hardness and Mr.. Linkins hello
for me viii you. I wish that you
would drop me a few lines and
try to get me q picture Of the
Gentlemen that were working at
the Galvez including yourself, I
write this letter right after every
one caught the train, well maybe
it wasn't right after because I
had to ride to the GalveZ and take
