The Riviera ..». Instead of shivering through the winter here OUNTAINS behind—with snowcaps far enough away for picturesqueness. The sapphire doormat of the Mediterranean spread in front. Roads smooth as silk, gay with the swiftest motors known to man. Tiny villages perched in the hills like birds’ nests .. . And down along the Cote d'Azur, those jewelled towns whose names have made smart history — Cannes, Juan-les-Pins, Monte Carlo! The Riviera atmosphere of lux- ury and chic may begin in New York—if you cross “the longest gangplank in the world” to the white decks of the France, the Paris or the Ile de France... .

Afterwards to see my favorite comedian, Jimmy Durante, and thrilled to death to find Fred Astaire right at the next table! Jimmy’s “I can get along without Broadway, but can Broadway get along without me” is a classic, => Wednesday—Went to a very wet affair, and wet in both senses of the word, called a “Blind Date” party. Six girls were in- vited to the home of the weak- minded person who thought of the brilliant idea to meet six young men they’d never heard of. With my usual luck I drew a bond salesman just out of New Haven and I knew more about the Racquet and Yale clubs at the end of the evening than the doormen of those institutions. Home and to bed early! oN Coad Thursday — Book review! “Southern Charms” by Isa Glenn —a chance meeting with a way- ward daughter causes a furore in a well-ordered Park Ave. apartment. “Cups, Wands and Swords” by Helen Simpson— Brother and sister stuff deli- cately done. “Aubrey Beardsley” by Haldane MacFall—the tragic life of a grotesque genius.
