FRANCES ROBINSON, known
L during NRA days as "Rop-
bie," has definite and some
times very original ideas about
things. Just recently Robbie
has completed her cunning green
and white cottage at Bethany
and titled it 'Tardy- Nod" Nat
urally nobody within miles of
the place could imagine just
why Robbie had chosen this par
ticular name.
It couldn't be because the At
lantic Ocean practically roared
into its hospitable front door.
Finally, Robbie told the reason.
When she was a wee girl, she
had a sip of egg-nog and toddy
and promptly christened this po-
tent brew, "Tardy-Nod." So, for
remembrance, perhaps, of some
childish happiness associated
with that name, she has called
her cottage, which she loves,
this odd name.

At 1880 it was the professional
Eunice who sat at a white-topped
table in cafeteria and exchanged
office chat with another efficient
young woman in tailored suit
"Oh, my DEAR" said the other eff
ficient one, "have you heard the
latest? Let's see, you covered the
Shelbourne last night, didn't you?
Well that new leading man-hand-
some, isn't he?-he's only been in
town a week, but his wife is here
and is going to sue him for divorce.
Wonderful story. And when I was
coming out of the Rochester little
while ago, after getting the list of
new guests, what do you suppose?
Why, I saw him at a corner table
with that little Simms girl that
works over at the Hoton shoe, and
who was mixed up in that affair
last month. My dear, what's the
matter? Don't you like that salad?
Well, l never liked shrimp, either"
And yet Mr.. Gade, he of the pro-
vocative smile and the friendly
squirt, never quite understood why,
when he called in the afternoon
and invited this young person to
a late lunch following the evening
performance, he was answered by:
Sorry, MIR. Gade. Had to have
the story, you know; so I saw your
manager this afternoon. What?
Lonesome? Then I should recon-
mend you to our Lonely Hearts col
umn. Some people get results that
