Another Big Feature Clare Sheridan’s American Diary HE clever diary, from the time of Samuel Pepys to Margot Asquith, has always attracted the largest share of human atten- tion. To come into close contact with remarkable people, with the leaders of society and government, is an experience granted to comparatively few; but of these few, literally not one in a thou- sand has the gift of reporting what he or she has seen. Mrs. Clare Sheridan, as an observer and-diarist, is one of the elect. Her book, “Mayfair to Moscow” proved this to an astonished and highly diverted public, some of whom did not know whether to be shocked or delighted by her engaging narrative of her trip from England to Moscow with Kamenev, her life in the Guest House under the rule of the Bolshevik commissars, her portraits of Lenine, Trotzky and others, whom she sculped in enduring busts, the while she made mental notes of every eccentricity and per- sonal trait they possessed. : “Close-ups” of American Leaders Now Clare Sheridan, after visits in New York, Pittsburgh, Wash- ington and finally Mexico City, writes for Metropolitan her im- pressions of the people she met on this side of the Atlantic. A woman of society in England, a cousin of Winston Churchill, the English statesman, she stepped easily into the higher. social circles in America. With just the right amount of frankness, sparing no detail, she describes her visits into the homes of the Vanderbilts, the Whitneys, the Otto Kahns, the Morgans, and her adventures in Washington society. What Clare Sheridan makes of New York life is worth knowing because it satisfies our curiosity about the metropolis of America. Beginning with the memoirs of Joseph Pulitzer, which were followed by the autobiography of Anna Howard Shaw, then the life of Maria Botch- kareva, Raymond Robins’ Story, and finally the memoirs of Margot As- quith, the Metropolitan has presented within the last few years a brilliant and sparkling list of intimate memoirs of world interest. Clare Sheridan's American Diary is a worthy successor to those which have gone before. In announcing this feature, beginning in October Metropolitan, out Sep- tember 15th, the Metropolitan offers a magazine story which no one who keeps in the current of the affairs of the day can afford ‘to miss. 25 cts. at your newsstand, or send us $3.00 for a year’s subscription.
