Maria Grever is a person upon
whom fame and popular acclaim
rest lightly and exceedingly well.
She is short and plump with
dark hair sprinkled with gray
and worn in a coronet about her
beautifully shaped head. Her
eyes are long with thick lashes.
She possesses a determined
nose, a kind mouth and the most
intriguing throaty laugh.
She Is a Mexican and speaks
English with the slightest accent
and five other languages, as
readily as her own native
tongue. She admits, frankly that
she can imagine nothing more
dull than to have the whole day
in which to do nothing conStruc-

give up a great deal for the arts,
but NOT, how they could give up
their art, for anything else. Sev-

Grever for her autograph, sew

"After all, if it were not for the
