 With Royalty Coming, Too
 One dear old lady. whom I had met at Mrs. Guinness house, was H. R. H. Princess Helene Victoria, daughter of Queen Victoria. She had been amused by my songs at the plano. and, to my astonishment, had accepted to comet This, of course, should have put the party on 6 very different basis. Royalty was to be there I did not know in the least how to entertain royalty, but I said to myself:
 T am not going to let this de- feat me. l am going to have a party on the principles that I have always tried to live up to, which are, t the moment my guests cross the threshold, what ever I offer, no matter how sins pie the fare, should be above crlti- cism. The true law of hospitality means only that"
 looked around and saw there were not enough chairs. In fact, there was not enough of any, thing.
 But there were some cushions and a good piano, which always are the only furnishings import tant to me. I had asked Ivor Novello, Nelson Keys and Elsie Janis, who was at the beginning of her career and was so clever that all London was at her feet.
 I remember Lord Arlington came, one of the youngest, fascin- ating bachelors in London. Also his sister, the Honorable Lois Stuart, as she was then, now the wife of Lord Tredegar, e Catholic peer who Is attached in an official capacity to the Vatican. She was jolly and full of good fun.
 And of course, all the Guinness family came. Lowell Guinness, Mrs. Guinness son who was but a boy at that time, is now married to the daughter of the Duke of Rutland.

Lived in Converted Stable


 That season in London was see- ing @ great deal of Mrs. Benjamin Guinness, wife of the international banker, who in turn was descended from that almost hierarchic family of brewers whose name Is famous the world over. Mrs. Guinness was one of the most beloved women in London. She was brilliant and mag netic and cared only for people who could do things-painters, actors, poets and singers.
 Now, I had inherited, thank hea- ven, from my father, @ natural mu- sical gift. played the piano by ear without any instruction or techni- cal knowledge, but played with vim and vitality. And, of course, the music that I played was American rhythms and not the more meticu' lous, suited English style. So, gradually people were drawn to me because of my music, and through them and 1t. Mrs. Guinness. Be- cause I was so hard up she had lent me & couple of rooms in her "mews" in Carlton House Terrace, overlook ing St. James Park. where the great coronation procession passed recent ly.
 Oh, that funny little apartment In the Carlton Mews Everybody who knows London knows those massive stately houses which rise up along the Mall overlooking the park. Magnificent homes since their construction in 1900, they have sheltered more important statesmen, famous hostesses and great families than any other sec- ton of London town.
 Not so many people know the rows of stables with their quaint second stories which are hidden away close by the great terrace. Such were the quarters which my friend lent me when I started my musical career in London. It's interesting that even as an artist, I should have found my habitat, as 1t were, in the most social quarter of the town.
 Inviting Disaster
 Well, as hospitality has always been a vice with me, I was sudden ly seized with desire to entertain, Everywhere I went, and I went a great many places that special day, I heard myself with astonishment inviting people to @ partyl

 In spite of my ambition to reform society and to origi- nate new and vivid standards in party giving, the first par ty I actually gave was almost impromptu, surprising even myself. It was given before the war, in London, where l was then living.
 As I look back at 1t, I realize how daring I must have been, for I broke all the rules then existent in the decidedly plush-upholstered social atmosphere of pre-war May fair.
 My friends tell me I don't lack courage, but I sometimes think that If I hadn't simply plunged into this affair, practically sight A

I was taking a great risk, I was the first one who ever dared mix up royalty, society, and stage. In those days, people in society hud- dled together and never asked outsiders, even though they would have added greatly to so- ciety's famously dull parties.
 Now, what were people to eat2 I had an idea.
 Hard boiled eggs, served cold with salt and pepper, might not be bad. I knew 1t was e picnic dish that people took with them in the woods for Q summer meal outdoors. I had never heard of 1t before as party dish. But I bought a few dozen eggs and boiled them with great care and put them out of the window to get cold - one rarely needs ice in London.
 I then thought that Swiss cheese sandwiches on rye bread would not be c bad idea. had tasted. this in Germany, and knew 1t was a good dish, with German mustard.
 So I made some delicious swiss cheese sandwiches. Then bought some bottles of beer and stout, and brewed great urn of coffee with large cups of hot milk, Bought some stone ginger beer, an English drink something like soda pop, which tastes so strongly of ginger 1t makes you sneeze. And there was my supper. It cost exactly 16 shillingS and 6 pence, which in our money is just under $4! They all came.
 The Princess was Q most de- iightful auditor. Everybody roar ed with laughter as the artists went through their paces and did all their special stunts, something which London society had not ex- perienced before.
 We initiated Grand Opera, played jazz, which was new to English ears, and sang Alcxan- der's Rag Time Band by Irving Berlin.
 Well, everybody but the Princess sat on the hoorl And everybody helped themselves from the buffet table, making 1t, incidentally, the first buffet supper party I had ever seen. Before that, everybody al- ways gave what they called "sit down" suppers.
 Hard boiled eggs today have be- come the most popular smart sup per dish in the houses of the wealthy and important.

Who is this Shakespeare? Since that fellow Shakes peare has become radio dramatst lot of people are curious about him. Properly enough newspaper radio editor has dug up some information Here are few of the fascinating facts he offers his readers "Willam Shakespeare lived between 1864 and 1616 One might say he is doing fairly well 320 years after his death He wrote 3T plays, many poems He never spelled his name the same way twice Ills father was pig politician arouna he ran into some lean days and did his son. Despite Shakespearean writings manuscripts are available The paywrighs business partners brought out the first collection of his works years after he died He had three children before he twenyone He was an actor and reports say good one There is no record of his wanting to play Hamlet. He his hair long and 1t started well back his head In fact might say he more than little bald" There you are, radio fans

The Ideas Spread

It was @ grea success. It was more than that for the little ideas which I had been driven to by my material surroundings and pock- et-book, were destined to bear fruit. It's funny oometimes to see your ideas copied all over the world, but such was to be the fate of that little impromptu party in my news.
 The principle notion, of course, was to do away with bores, which means stuffed shirtiness," and to put people at their ease. And that, by an audacious iningling of several worlds" from royalty to the foot lights, was what I had accom- plished. I slept happily that night, the memory of the thanks of my guests ringing in my dreams like Big Ben.
 Think what party can accom- plish for those who are ambitious, who seek achievement, position, or celebrityl If only they keep their courage, and at the same time, their good sense. Tn those London days, I was one of the poorest white wo- men in the world. worked very hard for my living--and every pet1- ny ever made, I spent on party, working hard for fun.
