WILMINGTON: "I am a former New Yorker,
"" who never missed a premiere of the Ziegfeld
shows. What, please, became of all those lovely
creatures who decorated those delightful first

Ina Claire, who started at a showgirl for

has retired and is happily married. Mae Murray,
until last year made personal appearances. She
once had a large fortune. Her name still appears
on all the Hollywood buildings and apartments
she built.

TEXAS: “Aleck Woollcott’s ‘While Rome
Burns,' published in 1929, offered this tip:
* . . . our future war with Japan, which you hear
over there at the bar in the Peking Club—-among
officers of our own army and navy who are
stationed in the Far East. I heard how many
>ears a really satisfactory war would take, how
we would have to begin by frankly yielding up
the Philippines and then spend two years recap
turing them.’—Elbert Shea."

lAETROIT: “I understand that you are the
sJ source for the remark that Thomas A.
Edison, one of America’s greats, started his career
as m gossip-writer and that one of his early sub
jects was so irked over an item he printed that
he threw Mr. Edison into the SL Clair River. I
ran find no authority for this in any of the books
on Mr. Edison.—Mrs. Robert T. Gaylord.”
Ths book in which I rsad if is “Edison, The

If Heaven a draught of Heavenly pleasure spare,
One cordial in thie melancholy vale,
’Tis when a youthful loving, modest pair,
In each other's arms breathe out the tender tale.
—Burn*.
(How, when and where did you first tell the
young woman who became your wife, that you
loved her. Nowadays there are statistics on
everything, and the statistics on love are that in
the past 15 years most first declarations of love
have been made In parked automobiles. Previ

between parlor sofas,
benches in the park and
by garden gates. —

AT A RECENT luncheon at the Grosnevor
* w Hotel, London, the grace was:
“For what we are about to eat, give thanks
and the British fleet."
to Lieut. Gen. H. H. Arnold, com
nnffder of the United States Air Force:
"The Flying Fortress has no peer in Its field
today. Our 825 C medium bombers ran go
farther faster and carry more bombs than the
beat ships of our enemies."
Note one Monsieur Louis of Manhattan claims
lo be the inventor of the upswept, page boy and
pompadour hair-dos. ,
My knowledge of hair-dos is extremely limited.
I don’t even know what an "upswept" hair-do
Is. And am not so sure about that “page boy,”
except that I think it is a style once followed by
G. Garbo.
But when it comes to the "pompadour" I re
member seeing that in pictures painted more than
150 years ago.

On Broadway
CINCINNATI: “I suppose you have many other
things to do without answering silly letters
like this, but I would appreciate your settling
this about a favorite of mine, Merle Oberon.
That she smokes cigars?—H. H.”
Mite Oberon emokee tiny black cheroots.

BROOKLYN: "We were discussing The Great
White Way (before the dimout) and none of
us were sure of its exact location. You
elected to elucidate.—Rosilyn Mayeburg, who is
betting on you.”
It was from Atnd to 51st. It has less than 40
lamp posts undsr city supervision. Without thess
40 strsst lamps ths City Fathers would deem
Broadway “inadequately lighted." The dimout is
costing the electric and neon sign makers about

(CHICAGO: “Who decides whether or not people
J are eligible to the Hall of Fame? I never
heard of several greats In it.—M. Fields."
A board of H. Y. University professors and
others decided. It is easier for a woman to make
it than a man. In the ease of a male 51 votes
are required. For a female only 47. Whq/, l dunno,

NEW YORK: ‘The newspapers tell of an
American General who pulled off a good one
about the Japs at Midway—suggested the slogan
be ‘Keep ’Em Fleeing!” I read it recently, how
ever, in the Billboard.—G. H. J ”
It was used last year about Germans in Russia.

PHILADELPHIA: "Is it a fact that to become
a dramatic crtic for a N. Y. newspaper, one
must be a college graduate? I’ve looked up most
of you birds—and not many have university
training.—H. J. M.”
Pish, tush. Georae Bernard Shaw and H. L.
Mencken weren’t college trained. And William
Hazlitt, greateet of all literary and drama critics,
never went to a university.
Hazlitt’s lectures and essays on Shakespeare,
on ths old English dramatists and their plays,
are classics of English style studied in schools
and universities by lovers of English beautiful
and unafraid.
As dramatic critic of Ths London Times and
other newspapers, he eet the standard of the art.
A new volume of his was reprinted after 100
years and more. And Hazlitt left public school
at 17.

fX)FFEE soon may be rationed We may get
vv only one cup a day. When will you consume
your one cup allotment; at breakfast or after
dinner?
I haven't decided on that, but I am practicing
sipping coffee so I can make a cup last longer.
Have just been studying the Automobile Users’
Guide with wartime suggestions, I’ll be an auto
mechanic before I know it.

rpHERE has been only one bald-headed Presi-
A dent of the United States and that was John
Quincy Adams.
Irene Dunne does not refer to her husband
by his first name, but as "Doctor," same as other
wives of doctors. You know:
"Doctor likes his roast beef medium," “Doctor
loves to play golf,** “Doctor has a delightful seuse
of humor."
Thirteen per cent of United States Army
draftees are rated "superior officer material" and
40 per cent are rated "noncommissioned officer
material." TTtis is a record not equaled by any
other army in the world.

IN GERMANY between 1921 and 1933 no less
than 20 political parties were struggling to get
the upper hand. Three of these parties had
fwivate armies. The Nazis, who won out, had the
argest private army.
“In what part of the Bible are 700 left-handed
men mentioned?" asks a Detroiter. You have me
there, sir. Maybe I don't know as much about
the Bible as I thought I did
“I Can Dance With Anybody but My Wife."
Is title of a popular ditty. I dance all right with
my wife. How about you, sir?
How is it so many men can’t dance all right
with their wives? Are most wives too critical
about their husbands’ dancing? Or what?

AVERAGE wage of a Manhattan stenographer
is $lB a week. No wonder so many of the
dictation takers are quitting offices for work in
defense industry factories.
Mrs. Albert Rankmore of Middlesex, England,
has a husband and eight sons In the armed forces.
This is the record for family participation in
World War 11.

f T , HE most powerful short story I ever read is
the "Monkey’s Paw" by W. W. Jacobs.
Number of Germans killed In World War I
was 2.036,893. And more Germans than that
already have been killed In World War 11.
At a party attended by naval men, Rita Hay
worth proposed the following toast:
“Here’s to the navy. Their arms are our de
fense. Our arras their recompense."
Said Rita modestly:
“It’s not original. I read It In a hook of quo
tations."
