laboratories in Bayonne. This freak botanical creation has become very popular here. (Yes, Lloyd?) Oh—Mrs. Ainscough’s guests are P. Taylor, C. Hayward, Mr. and Mrs, Blair, Mr. and Mrs. Normand, and others who have not yet arrived: B. Hilton, editorial manager of the Savannah ‘Terror.’ Her column is ‘Preserve Savannah's Glory,' in which she discusses the assets and treasures of that city. They say her hobby is writing letters to the lovelorn, which she publishes in the ‘Terror,' but keep that a secret;— and Van Mater, the esteemed woman psychologist. Her latest book is ‘Woman, Sew Your Own,' which advocates that a woman make her own wardrobe ‘to express her personality and to develop her creative genius.’ You'll enjoy it. A very basic and far- reaching treatise. Van Mater also knows child psychology. She has helped the Claw- son-Beardsley Infants' School in New York City with its child-problem program, d'his school is doing a great thing for future America, building and directing the souls of posterity. Its motto is ‘We, Too, Were Once Infants,’ expressing its sympathetic understanding of the young;—and the movie beauty, known to the world as Carol At­ water (I hear her latest marriage was a spectacular fizzle). I am sorry she is not in the audience. I had hoped I would be able to describe to you her newest suit. I have
heard it is vermilion velvet. It is rumored that the trousers have a special pocket for combs of all sizes. By the way. have you seen her in her latest vehicle, ‘Whistle It’? It’s a very superb film, made in Paris, all in French. They say that each time Miss
Atwater must speak French for longer than three minutes, she whistles instead. It has charmed audiences the world over. (What’s that, Lloyd?) Oh, Lloyd just said it’s the only French she ever tmderstood. (Wait a minute, Lloyd; why this delay? You know? Well, tell the radio audience.)”
‘Hello. Newspaper-reporter Llo>^d speaking. I am sorry to deprive you of the voice of Rice, but—(All right. Rice, I won’t waste time.) They will all be here soon now. They straightened it out at last. There was some congestion with the Viviano
taxis on Pennsylvania Avenue—might have been a collision. There were so many of those little gra\}' motors with red spots, all jammed in together that the avenue was too small for all of them. So Joey, driving number l,986,v352—(Oh, but Rice I know Joey personally. All right. I'll hurry.) Friends, Joey spoiled Susie’s right fender, and they had to get R. Viviano herself to pick up the pieces. The first great calamity of the Viviano Taxi Service. We regret it. How we Washingtonians love the gray ‘Vivis’ all over town. You know down here we say ‘Vivi’ and, pronto, anywhere from one to eight of those red and gray joys surround us. If there is no branch of the Viviano Taxi
Service in your town, 1 advise—Cheerio !”
“Rice speaking again. The President-elect enters. I can just see her party being ushered from the lobby. The President-elect is smiling, A thrill of excitement runs through the audience. President-elect Brooke is wearing the new ‘Brooke-green.’ She is breathtaking. I can’t locate the ‘first man of the land.’ Oh, yes, there is Mr. Wilson, also smiling, a bit bravely. Mr. Wilson, you know, is one of the distant relatives of the Philippine Island Taylors, that great family which is now supplying the United
States with so many leaders in foreign affairs. You all know the illustrious daughter of the late Taylors. Polly, who preserved the Peace of the Pacific, preserved it by
her own quiet strength and persistence in dealing with the
