derful-that was overcome. Flow CTS were sent not only by those near by, but telegraphed from as far away as California. Impulsively wrote you a note of appreciation for the kindness which your mes- sage had inspired, and, just to amuse you, sent the rarest orchid that could be found. happened to hear afterwards that you were in California and could not have seen the flower and probably never saw the note. (Dat's right, lady. I never seed it.)
 "The story about 1t came out this way: Margaret Hartman in her Saturday Eve'g Post article about me, gave the fact that sent you an orchid and that you had not an- swered my note. Which was left at that--until Hildegarde Dolson, questioning me for her story, asked: Was 1t true that you sent an orchid to Walter Winchellp' And I an- swered, Yes And he didn't thank you?' And I said, ruefully perhaps, 'No-he didn't It's perfectly good story-too good to spoil - but I would like you to knew the fact behind 1t, which is that l did not think you ill-man- nered for failing to say thank you for something you knew nothing about, and that's all there Is to THAT! Very sincerely, Emily Post"

 Incidentally: Tn the June World Digest, Doran Fox has smarticle called:" Ambassadors of the Air" in which the author has this to cay about all the little Hildegarde Dol sons, to wit: Much has been writ ten about Winchell and most of 1t is wholly inaccurate, dished up by boresome scribes who might seek to cash in on the publicity 1t obviously would create"
 Washington Is Talking About Liz Whitney's latest lothario, Win ston Frost, a Middleburg Va, so- cialite The hotel situation which is so tough, the Brazilian ambassador (who arrived in town from w. Va. in the morning and forgot to make reservation) had to walk all night until the Em- bassy opened The talk that South America will be with us" If Hitler loses, but not if he wins The way the Intelligence Dept big gies and F. B. I. "have been fight ing the war for the last seven months" Jesse Jones mot looking so well' The uninipor- tance of the Sing Sing story com pared to what is happening In the world The most delicate proh- lem of the politicians on Capitol tIill--to avoid "the politics of the White House" FDR's form of criticism: He turns off the air-con- ditioning during the stuffy press conferences. Doesn't like air-con- ditioning and some newspaperlnen, anyhow The apprehension of FDR's warmest admirers because he insists on leaving himself so wide open. Such as at the premiere ball game. Only recently his arrival at Port Everglades, Fla, was the signal to keep all persons approaching the scene one mile away. That makes more sensel The wry faces at the State Dept at the mention of the word "rsolationist" well, said one executive to @ notorious phony patriot and appeaser you've won. You and your country were never more isolatedl' .. The lovely romance of Speaker Sam Rayburn and the charming Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, the widow . The plans of a big name actors wife has to dump him. She's more famous in Washington And the fifty miles of bridle path. Which probably explains why 50 many senators and congressmen turn into horses necks.
