seething with activity this morn
ing wednesday,. Phones are
jumping with inquiries regarding
the election returns, everybody is
busy writing, or reading proof or
charting things. Have no one with
whom to chat while / wait for the
proofs of "BB."
Sylvia just came In with the
news that today will be "cooler'

ing to the sales and barreling to
the buys - as follows:

The experience the other even
ing of seeing the house of Mrs.
Everesta Stevens and also the ad-
jacent picturesque, spacious one
of her daughter, Miss Hilda Cum
niff was of such vivid enjoyment
and such an admixture Of what
was, what is and the lovely party
then in progress - well, am afraid
the telling Of. it might get con-
fused.
The scenic surroundings, the
lovingly cared for grounds, the
wealth of flowers, the majestic
trees, the sweeping stretch down
to a sea wall where the Atlantic
made murmuring noises lit was
fairly calm that night all prompt
ed me to pry, and Pm afraid that
! did!

shall resume after-)

However, Mrs. Stevens is an ex-
ceedingly gracious person and SO
we went into her house - where
midst a sense of time, she sketch
ed the history involved. Weeds had
at one time nearly obliterated all
this present beauty. The house was
originally a carriage house, and
as she says - she twisted it about
a bit. Then, down near the sea
wall was a shack which she trans
ferred to the front of the main
edifice. This is now the kitchen.
The walls are still of the original
heavy type cardboard and
charming.
The handsome living room with
its high, dark (creosoted) beamed
ceiling, the wide veranda on the
front, the breathtaking view, all
contributed to the feeling that an
automatically humble history was
enlarged upon with fine simplicity,
and restrained grandeur.
Near here, Thelma Strable wrote
"Reap the Wild Wind" - and in.
deed Mrs. Stevens and her daugh-
ter, Miss Curnniff have reaped the
wild weeds into bountiful harvest
of beauty.
