ENMILY NEWELL BLAIR, who
II is a famous writer and
therefore should be listened to
with respect, opined the other
night that columnists should be
compelled to do a piece just once
without the aid Of one single
adjective. It is Emily's private
opinion that the results would
be too horrible to even contem-
plate. Well.
DENIAMINO GIGLT, a great
ID tenor, who was in town to
give a concert last Sunday, is q
most unaffected and natural
person. He was staying at the
Raleigh Hotel with his longtime
friend, Col. Curt Schiffeler,
and was occupying the Lily
Pons suite there. All Of which
pleased him, for he and the tiny
PonS are the best Of friends.
It was Gigli who brought her
from South America and intro
duced her to the attention Of
Gatti- Casazza, then director Of
the Metropolitan Opera House.
Gigli has done the amazing feat
Of losing IS pounds in Is months
and will never eat any food that
is. not especially prepared for
him, by his chef.
If his chef is absent and while
he is touring in concerts, his
valet prepares his meals. And
he never accepts, either a lunch
con or dinner invitation. You
see, it is the combination of food
and the way it is prepared that
is the secret Of the loss Of
weight.
In rs years Of singing, Gign
has learned and sung 50 operas.
His favorite opera is Martha"
a fact which surprised us. His
only relaxation from work is an
occasional movie. And-he has

Fontana'S dancing school in
London, he taught many a
pretty lady to curtsy before the
popular King Edward, now the
Duke Of Windsor. Also, Fontana
has the distinction of being the
one person who ught the
beautiful and chic Duchess Of
Kent, the former Princess Ma
rina of Greece, to dance the
tango.
JACK SMITH, son Of the John
d Lewis Smiths, is an attrac-
tive person with a deep and droll
sense of humor. Not so long
ago, Jack discovered that it was
necessary one evening for him to
cash q check. So going up to
the proper person, he told him
that he would like to have a
small check cashed and also
added: 'It may sound strange,
but my name really is John
Smith" The proper person
looked at Jack and laughed,
long and loud. cit doesn't sound
a bit strange to me-" he in

or not, my own name really

TUE Mask and Bauble Club OF
L Georgetown is giving its an

bitiously enough it is to be the

sure that no fine points would
be overlooked, Bill Driscoll, pres

now practically nothing the

Ordinarily when a dog is get

Mrs. HusSey must give Mrs. Blair
six strokes, which she can i'll af-
ford to do If Mrs. Blair repeats

strokes. Mrs. Leo Walper, who
yesterday eliminated one of the

with Mrs. Lloyd Kilkhen, another
