DMIRAL CARY GRAYSON
"A was fond of telling the fol-
lowing story and because we
heard it from someone who
knew him we'll, and it is anus
ing, we will pass it on. It seemed
that Barney Baruch sent Adni-
raj Grayson a very beautiful
colt, some years ago. The colt
got more beautiful with each
year, and one day Mr.. Baruch
went visiting down to the Gray
son farm and incidentally to
look at some Of the horses there.
One horse he admired par.
ticularly and asked Admiral
Grayson If he would consider
selling the horse to him. Ad-
miral Grayson said a very gen.
tie mo" Within the week, a
note came from Mr.. Baruch ask
ing Admiral Grayson to change
his mind, and offering him sew
eral thousand dollars for the
purchase of this horse. Admiral
Grayson sat right down and an
swered the letter and repeated
his refusal to sell the horse.
Then just at the end Of the let
ter he explained to Mr.. Baruch
that the horse he liked so well
was the very one he had given
him!
T ATE afternoon in Washing
IL ton:
To EVE Roberts to hear about
the Stunt Party" given for the
benefit of the Tail Wagger's
Club and all the newest de-
velopments and finding Mr..
and Mrs. Harold Walker there
and naturally interested since
the stun party is to be given
in their playhouse in the garden
of their house.
&#A/
EDDIE GARDINER also there
IL and being completely amazed
at the announcement from EVE
that he is to be the internis-
sion during the stunt party.
Eddie, who has a dry and droll
wit, sending all of us into gales
of laughter with his comments
as to what an interrnission
should be. No good will ever
come of his acting in the stunt
party-that, we freely predict.

all Of us, as though he wasn't
quite sure just where all these
ideas might eventually go.

IL ing green and looked as
smart as paint, telling everyone
to be quiet while she went over

involved can be present.
