Darling Muriel,

I have just cabled you that I am sailing in
July. I will go either on the 17th or the 29th, and will
cable you when. I am going to Paris the day after
tomorrow, where I expect to see Paul, who is having a
wonderful time and has got a splendid engagement at the
Boeuf sur le Toit. He has been such a success that
the management want him to go on to Nice at the end of
July after the Boeuf closes in Paris and goes to Nice;
but I don't know what he has decided about that. He is
very happy and simply loving Paris. I shall give him
all the news when I see him.

I cannot tell you how I am longing to see you.
Will you meet the boat when I land? It will be either
the De Grasse or the Lafayette. I will cable you the
instant I decide on my passage. Over here we are again
wavering on the brink of a General Election, because the
Labour and Liberal Parties have had another row, and
no-one can quite tell what will be the outcome and, if
the crisis which is on this week is tided over, there
will be another about July 15th, so I cannot go before I
know whether or not John will be plunged amidst all the
dreariness of a General Election; but, in any event, if
the 17th is impossible, I am sailing on the 29th.

I miss you much too much ever to express, and
I have so much to say to you about everything in the
world that were I even to attempt to put a hundredth part
of it in a letter, nothing like that letter would have
been seen since Clarissa Harlowe unbosomed herself to
the world. Darling Muriel, you do not know what the
prospect of seeing you in about a month's time means to
me. Do meet the ship if you possibly can.

Always devotedly yours,

I was told in Louisville by insiders in the Democratic Party, that it would be almost impossible to beat Smith this time, and that it would be very difficult to beat George of Georgia, as both of them have complete control of the State machine and because the poll tax excludes so many of the underprivileged from voting in South Carolina and Georgia; but Roosevelt was quite right to go out after their hides, and I liked the way he took Smith's reelection. By the way, wasn't that a fine little rally of the Red Shirts that Cotton Ed held to celebrate his victory? As Lawrence Dennis once predicted, "the frustrated and angry Hill-Billies" are on the march. There is that singing Hill-Billy that is going to be Governor of Texas and there's all those Hill-Billies that Cotton Ed gathered round him yesterday. There is no question but that we are in for a coup D'etat of the Hill-Billies, unless the Crooners beat them to it. I fancy also, that we will find Robbie and Mrs. DeLima, as well as Howland Spencer, in the forefront of the movement. Incidentally, I gave your address to a young German Jewish refugee called Hans Straus, who is working in Wall Street and who had a letter of introduction to me from my friend Dick Plummer of London, whom you met at my house in New York. Straus sent me the letter after I had left New York, and I wrote back and gave him your address and suggested that he write to you and ask if you could see him. Plummer wrote me that he is very interesting on the subject of German affairs, but don't put yourself out if you don't have the time to see him. My article on Roosevelt came out in the August Common Sense. I wrote Rodman yesterday and told him to send six copies to you. Dearest Muriel, do write me soon and give me your news and the news of all the uncertified lunatics amongst whom we live. Had a letter from Lorna from Perpignan. She was leaving for Barcelona in a few days, where she must be now. Janet Flanner writes me that Lorna had been doing splendid down at Perpignan. But Janet added "Lorna is waiting for the unresisting wounded. In her arms there will be no armistice." But I think it is perfectly grand that she is really going to get into Spain, and she sounded really happy about it. On our way through Nevada we tried to get in touch with Leo. Reno is her normal headquarters, but she is very well-known in all the sporting bars ther by the nickname Foretop".

But we were told at the bar in Reno where she gets her mail that she had taken her horses down to Stockton in California for the races. We stopped at Stockton on our way to San Francisco, but though we heard news of her at the race-track, we did not have the time to wait and get in touch with her. But she is evidently having a hell of a good time, doing what she pleases and on her own at last. Personally I think it is a very good thing for her to get away from Lorna for a while, and it is probably an equally good thing for Lorna.

I have one more item of news before I close. We went down to Santa Fe for a week-end from Colorado Springs, and the whole place was ringing with it. It concerned you, will not be surprised to hear, Mabel Dodge. Una and Robin Jeffers were on a visit to Mabel earlier in the summer. While they were there, Mabel, who evidently finally despaired of getting Jeffers herself, invited a woman called Mrs. McDonald with whom Jeffers had had a mild flirtation the year before, to come up and stay in Taos. Apparently abandoning the role of courtesan, Mabel played the part of a procuress so efficiently that poor Una Jeffers walked in and surprised Robin and the lady in flagrante delicto. According to Frieda Lawrence who gave us one long version of the affair, Mabel arranged things so that Una would find the guilty couple, but whether or not this is true, I don't know. You know how Frieda hates Mabel. But in any event, whether she wanted to or not, Mabel certainly stirred up plenty of trouble. Una went and took a dose of veronal and then shot herself. Fortunately neither measure was successful, but she was ghastly ill for several days, and rumor in Santa Fe said that Mabel behaved perfectly rottenly to her. However, I gathered that Mabel was badly frightened that the scandal the whole thing caused, in spite of the attempts to hush it up because there is a doctor in Taos who is suing Mabel for criminal libel, and the case was due to come up. Anyway, you can imagine what a mess it all was, and even discounting the fact that every human being I have met in New Mexico hates Mabel's guts, and would welcome a chance to put the worst construction on her motives and actions, she appears to have behaved about as badly and meanly as it was possible to behave, and this time no one whom I have met seems to think the story is funny. Mabel is overreaching herself and pretty soon, like Hoytie Wyborg, she will get out of the uncertified lunatic class and have to be certified as dangerous.

Mary Garden's
Riviera Home
Real Dovecote

From The World's Bureau

PARIS May 8.—Mary Garden has built herself a real dovecote on the Riviera, at Cap Ferrat. This is literally true, for the American diva has filled her garden with doves from every country and of every plumage. She gives them perfect liberty so that there is no impression that they are caged.

Visitors to Miss Garden's home entering from a wall on the road step immediately into the garden which is filled with the low murmur of the doves accompanied by the steady splash of the Mediterranean on the rocks at the foot of the garden. The doves have never made an attempt to fly over into any other garden, which gives the impression of personal attachment.

"Fridays" Natalie Barney will ever have and in an interview which Miss Barney will grant the next day to the Paris Herald she will say, "refuse to give her views on 'feminism' but will say, 'she has always devoted herself to private enterprises rather than to public questions, and so has called the Federation of Women's Clubs that she will be unable to address their convention.' She will then send out invitations for another "Friday" in which she will announce that the plans for the Renée Veren memorial to Elisabeth Barret will be further discussed, and that Mr. Man, Barney will play a song of his own composition entitled "Mrs. Brownings Grave" which words composed by Mr. Ellery Larsen will say by an artist en route for the grave.

will go into the Barney room and see Mr. Ellery and Mr. Man, who will go out and like what I declare to help Remeine. Ellery will go rather alarmed by her symptoms, will go back and tell Miss Barney that Mrs. Brooks is very ill. "What is the matter with her." Miss Barney will say, starting towards the door with an air of real concern.

"I don't know," I say. "Ellery greatly distressed will reply. "She first mutters something about your speech about Renée Veren and then vomits. She can't seem to stop. Your speech about Renée Verens appears to have moved her very much."

"I see." Miss Barney will reply enigmatically.

- But other words it will be # one of the most successful
