humor which keeps his listeners
on their toes to follow; his hair
is gray and his face is one Of the
most alert and sensitive we've
ever seen. He was telling us an
incident that happened to him
in Antilles a few years ago. Mr..
Forbes and three other men
were sitting in q cafe and a
party of extremely pretty girls
came in. One in particular kept
glancing at him. Mr.. Forbes
commented to one of his COM
panions, "P erhaps have
changed for the better, after
ALL"
Soon this one girl walked over
to the bartender, had a few
words with him, meanwhile look
ing at Mr.. Forbes. Then she
came over to his table and asked
him If he were not Mr.. James
Forbes. He beamed, stood up
and announced that he was.
THE one Forbes who wrote
The Chorus Lady," she per-
sisted. He nodded and then add
ed, But you, my dear, could
not have remembered that play.
You were in your cradle then"
81 don't remember it," she as
sured him brightly, "but it was
one of my grandmother's fa-
vorite plays"
THE Mona Lisa painting dis
l. appearing from The Louvre
could not have created more ex-
element than the absurd and
still unexplained disappearance
Of Mr.. James Farley's photo
graph yesterday afternoon from
the exhibition of Maurice Con-
Stant's photographs. One minute
the picture was in its place,
the next-it was gone. Whether
a devoted admirer of Mr.. Far
ley's or an equally devoted ad-
mirer of Maurice Constants
borrowed" this picture nobody
knows. Frank Scully's photo
graph was among the collection
and was one Of the most fasci-
mating, especially the treatment
Of the eyes. It was Scully who
said of Maurice Constants work,
That he has taken Hollywood
by storm, warts and ALL"

THE Fenton Fadeleys enter
= tanned at a very gala tea yes
terday afternoon at their coun-
try place in honor of the very
brand-new colt who has arrived
at the house of Fenton'S prize
winning horse, Lacquer Lady.
This handsome young fellow is
named Lacquer Lad, and practi-
cally all the guests invited to
tea brought him q present. One
present was especially nice-a
big woolly white blanket, en-
broidered in blue. So he is be-
ginning his life very, very nicely.
MRS. HENRY MARSHALL,
AVA who is so popular with the
younger married crowd, is an
enchanting person. One would
think, to look at her, that she
was from some far away Scan
dinavian country. She has the
exquisite blond hair, very white
skin, high cheekbones and
straight dominant nose that
usually belongs to those coun-
tries, and yet she comes from
upper New York State. And she
has the gentlest' manner and
sweetest speaking voice. Also,
she can, and does occasionally,
read ones palm. provided she is
interested, and she is remark
able in her findings in them.

THO VERNON AND MARGARET
= LOWREY'S house for supper,
and not knowing it was to cele-
brate their nineteenth wedding
anniversary. A huge bouquet OF
white roses, tied with broad,
white satin ribbon, a real bridal
bouquet, which Vernon had sent
Margaret very early that morn
ing, greeted everyone from a
vase in the hall. That sort Of
gave all an idea Of what the
supper was about.

bowl, very, very old, "just to
warm the house with" as Mar
