Temple Bailey Comes to Town—Lincoln
Ellsworth, the Explorer, Is Vice Presi
dent of Great Britain Poetry Society.
BY ROBERT CRAWFORD
IN THE Springtime when all Wash
ington is gay and vernal, decked
out in foliage of many hues, with
flowering trees and shrubbery in
bloom and great beds of red, yellow
and purple tulips on the White House
lawn and In the parks flaunt them
selves and nod in the breeze. Temple
Bailey comes to town for a breathing
spell. She settles herself in some ho
tel where she can look out on the
trees and green lawns and enjoy her
self In the city she loves best, where
she spent many happy girlhood days
and where many of her dreams came
true. The plots of several of her
most successful novels were laid here.
For the benefit of those devoted
young readers of Miss Bailey, let us
tell you that she is charming looking.
neither short not tall, neither stout
nor thin; her hair is dark, arranged
softly about her face and her eyes
are a greenish blue and full of fun.
She Is not temperamental . . . likes
golf . . . plays bridge . . . likes people
and horses and has but one hobby—
writing books—and dreams of a mas
terpiece in the offing. It must be added
that her mother has always been a
kind of inspiration and incentive to
her and is her boon companion. Dur
ing her father's lifetime she read
with him and was allowed to browse
through his library at will; it being
a fine one, she was reared with a
taste for only the best in literature.
She Typewrites—
With Two Fingers.
Most people like to know how their
favorite author dies the deed ... for
their Information, Miss Bailey says
she does it all on the typewriter . . .
composes as she goes, makes but few
notes, and unravels her plot as she
proceeds. She goes to her typewriter
after her coffee at nine in the morning
and picks away until twelve. Being
blessed with deep concentration, she
is oblivious to the life going on
about her and to interrupt her is not
a crime.
To find any one in these hectic times
so absolutely normal and restful as
Miss Bailey, seems a dream in itself.
She was born down in Petersburg,
Va„ of New England parents and an
cestry; her voice is Southern, her
pronunciation a bit so, and her man
ner wholly of the South. When she
comes forward to shake hands the
cares and worries of the day just na
turally disappear as her infectious
smile radiates peace and content
ment. She is somewhat wary of news
men since an interview she gave up
on Nantucket one Summer when she
was quite taken in, and still laughs
at the joke which was all on her. She
tells a funny story on herself with
as much gusto as if it were on the
other chan.
Miss Baiiev Tells With Gusto
A Joke on Herself.
Coming in from a brisk walk one
morning—she is fond of walking,
too—she found two young reporters
from a Boston paper bent on inter
viewing her. Guests were expected
shortly and she had very little time.
One of the reporters plied questions
volubly, principally on the subject of
‘ her reasons for not hating married;
while the other seemed to be indus
triously taking notes. When she
rose to end the interview she told
them they must bring the copy for
her to blue pencil before it was used.
In an hour or two they returned with
the copy and she found it quite as it
should be—no need of changing. BUt
horror of horrors, when the story ap
peared there were no sensational
headlines, but several most sensa
tional cartoons of her, one which pic
tured her dressed in mannish clothes
with a fedora hat, hands in pockets,
striding along and a “keep-your-dis
tance look" as she eyed the other sex.
As Miss Bailey is extremely feminine
lr dress, liking frou-frou ruffles and
all those gadgets, it was funny.
Said to Be Highe«t
Paid Woman Writer.
Miss Bailey is said to be the highest
paid woman writer in the world for
single stories. All her novels are
serialized before being printed in
book form. There are no strings at
. tached to her serials, however, after
their appearance in the magazines.
It is then entirely with her and her
publishers when they shall appear in
book form. Her novels have been
translated into French, Spanish,
Scandinavian and several other lan
guages, the terms of which she ar
ranges herself. And she will laugh
ingly say that this is where her Yan
kee forebears come in. She makes a
good contract but says she has some
times felt she was offered more than
she deserved. She also says the plots
of her stories are not racks on which
to hang isms, or philosophies or social
problems, but are to entertain and
amuse and put a wholesome taste in
' the reader’s mouth. It really must be
true that men and women after work
ing hard all day like to relax and get
away from the worries and problems
• of their own lives. The miner likes to
get the sound of the drill out of his
ears, and the machinist the whir of
the wheels.
The demand for Miss Bailey's stor
ies among all classes of readers is
shown by the difficulty one finds in
getting them at the public libraries.
A few days ago out of twenty of them
in a branch library there was not one
to be had. Up in Boston they did not
take any particular notice of her be
fore she wrote the ‘‘Tin Soldier.” That
was in 1919, shortly after which she
was invited to become a member of
the Authors' Club. And it was this
story that France requested to have
translated for the war library in Paris.
Miss Bailey receives a large fan mall
from all sorts and conditions of men
and women; some criticizing or com
mending her books, others sending
manuscript to be read or asking ad
vice as to the best way to become
writers. Hearing that she is quite do
mestic they consult her on household
affairs and whether a woman is hap
pier married or single—a question
she turns over to some married friend.
Her Washington
Novel.
She tells an amusing story of an
Incident in her last novel, ' Fair as
the Moon,” the scene of which was
laid in Washington. One of the things
she enjoyed Immensely in days gone
by when she lived here was the old
ferry boat that plied between the Cap
ital and Alexandria. She remembered
moonlight rides on it down the river
when the old Potomac to her romantic
young eyes seemed like the golden
stream of life, so she gave the hero
of "Fair as the Moon,” a trip down
the river on the old boat. The novel
had no sooner appeared than she re
ceived several letters in her fan mall
asking her if she did not know that
that old tub had not run in years.
Right there she told the world, ro
mancing was the privilege of a novel
ist—though frankly she did not know
the ferry was no more. In "En
chanted Ground," which was written
in Florida, is a spotted cat—commonly
known as a calico cat; Miss Bailey
put him quite in the limelight in her
story, only to receive letters from pro
fessors and students of natural his
tory’, telling her that a male cat of
that species was never marked in that
way, and asking why she called the
animal, ‘‘it,” “she" and "he.” all in
the same book. She answered, “just
a bit of poetic license.”
| Thrilled by the
Grelt Explorer.
What would you do if you saw a
conquering hero who had been pro
claimed by the whole world for his
i deeds of bravery and for his contri
butions to science, suddenly appear
I right before your eyes and ask you a
simple question of direction? Your
eyes would certainly open wider. And
that is what happened to a young
woman in the National Geographic
Society not long ago when Mr. Lincoln
Ellsworth, back from the South Pole,
was in Washington to receive the Hub
bard Gold Medal and lecture before
the Geographic Society.
The young woman had to look twice
before she could believe that the un
. assuming—all heroes are that way—
; courteous gentleman, rather tall, with
! graying hair, skin tanned by the sea
; ind hardened by the winds of the Ant
I arctic, and with interesting blue eyes,
was the distinguished explorer In
I whose rescue Americans, particularly,
| had been so interested.
In his delightful book, “Search,”
j published in 1932, Mr. Ellsworth speaks
' of the quickening of the blood he re
j reived as a boy when he read “Ranch
! Life,” “The Hunting Trail” and other
books of the late Theodore Roosevelt
and Dr. Fridjhof Nansen’s “Farthest
! North.” He says his boyhood dream
was, "Exploration beyond the utter
most rim of discovery”—something he
has accomplished in his trips to the
North and South Poles.
By the way, Mme. Slavko Grouitch,
who made a wonderful reputation dur
ing the World War for her war work
in the Central European countries,
and whose husband was sometime
American Minister to Serbia, was, be
fore her marriage, companion to Mr.
Ellsworth and his sister, after the
j death of their mother. As Mabel Dun
lop. she traveled with the two children
and devoted herself to their education
and training. She speaks of the ex
plorer when a small boy of 8 as being
like a Peter Pan. fragile, but most
energetic and determined.
Though Aviator and Explorer,
He Likes Poetry.
Notwithstanding the medals Mr
Ellsworth has received from this and
other countries, he has one honor
which is very near to his heart—he Is
vice president of the Poetry Society of
Great Britain. Many of his boyhood
dreams—his castles in Spain—have
! been realized, but one of his most
| cherished possessions is his chalet in
I Sw itzerland, high up on Mount Pila
! tus. which he Inherited from his
father.
Lansburg Castle is one of the his
toric castles of Europe in which men
have lived for a thousand years. It
is perched high on a butt* which
rises up out of the green hills and is
reached by a tortuous winding rpafl
which passes through tunnels formed
by the dense foliage of trees. One
crosses a drawbridge to enter the court
yard with its green maple and chest
nut trees and gorgeously hued gera
niums relieving the somberness of the
gray battlemented walls. In the cas
tle is the wonderful collection of 72
clocks, which were the hobby of the
senior Mr. Ellsworth.
