The Art of Listening.

WE HAD a party at which there
w appeared what may call the
dumb poets-Sam Hoffenstein and
Ogden Nash. At the studios where
they're both turning out epics,
there's a rule that neither shall
burst forth into poetry while he's
under contract-no thumbing of the
harp, no sounding of the lutte. Cine
mas gain is creations loss.
Maybe that explains why they
made such good listeners the other
night. And isn't good listener a
boon! 1 don't mind being interrupt
ed, provided the interrupter chooses
the right subject. Mute and rapt, I
can harken for hours on hours if
someone is talking about me, say,
or even reading from my published
works. But these two ininnesingers
only broke in to ask that the picked
shrimp be passed or gently to sug-
gest that another little drink or two
wouldn't do any harm.
Ogden Nash has attained the high
est peak of distinction attainable for
a writer. His chief initator has an
initator who is bringing up his old
est boy to be an initator.
