NEWS AND GOSSIP OF SOCIETY IN THE
‘Of Making Many Books There Is No End
And Capital Authors Contribute Several
Mrs. Richard Parker
Crenshaw Has Story in
■ Timely Thanksgiving
J Volume
“Os making many books
there is no end”—-certainly
not so far as the group of
Washington authors is con
cerned. But happily they do
not bear out the rest of the
quotation that “much study
is a weariness to the flesh. ’ *
Princess Cantacuzene, who has
been figuring in the news of
late as the mother of one of the
season’s most charming brides,
has contributed to “An Outline
of Careers for Women,” just
out. “Fall Flight,” by Eleanor
Gizycka (Mrs. Elmer Schlesin
ger), is being read with interest
by many Washingtonians. Ma
thilde Eiker’s newest novel,
“The Lady of Stainless Rai
ment” is much in demand. The
, earrent magazines are being
eagerly watched to see what
Nancy Hoyt (Mrs. Edward Cur
tus) has to say. Marie Man
ning Mrs. Herman Gasch) has
a new novel, with Washington
as the scdne, in course of pre
paration. And so it goes.
Moreover. In a timely anthology.
“Thanksgiving Day in Modern
Story.” one discovers a short
story by Mary Mayo Crenshaw,
with the appropriate title "Some
thing to Be Thankful For.” It is
reprinted from St. Nicholas, a
charming tale of the celebration
of this famous New England holi
day in the South, the girlhood
home of the author, Mrs. Rich
ard Parker Crenshaw.
Although Mrs. Crenshaw has
been an occasional contributor to
the magazines, her most ambitious
work so far has been the editing
of the diary of her great-grand
mother, Mrs. John Mayo, describ
ing life in Paris back in 1828
when she went a-visiting to the
French capital and met through
the Marquis de Lafayette all the
world of fashion. Lafayette had
visited the Mayos in their Rich
mond home and in the gay Paris
of the Restoration he returned
their hospitality in measure full
and running over. By him Mrs.
Mayo and her daughters, Mrs.
Robert Cabell and Mrs. Winfield
Scott, were introduced to the pic
turesque figures of the era, the
King, Charles V, soon to lose his
throne; the sad oyed Dauphine,
daughter of Marie Antoinette, of
whom Napoleon said "She is the
only man in her family” and the
Due d’Orleans, soon to be Louis
Philippe.
From the witty pages of this
diary. Mrs, Crenshaw has made
a charming’ volume, which was
'"published by subscription.
The new minister of Ecuador.
Senor Zaldumbide, is an impor
tant addition to our colony of
writers. Visiting the Library of
Congress the othar day and asking
modestly for a copy of one of his
works, he was gratified' to find
that it was "out.” So evidently
his reputation as a writer has pre
ceded him to Washington. Senor
Zaldumbide has prose,, poetry and
philosophical essays all to his
credit. His most recent work is
* in essay on Jose Enrique Rodo,
' the famous Uruguayan writer, and
many of his essays are on Span
. ssh-American literature. Outstand
ing works include a volume on
< Gabriel d’Annunzio, and another
pn Henri Barbusee.
