Stopped at Marge Boothby’s, and we did gossip about this and that until I did arrive home with barely time to dress for dinner, and Lord! the house was completely black save for a few candles glimmering here and there, with Katie even going about the kitchen with a torch, for Samuel, having bought an electrical picture machine for his godson, had been unable to resist trying it himself and had blown out all the fuses. Whereupon I did berate him roundly and with just cause, too, for it is bad enough to sit with the Bixbys in the room which I call a bit of old Ver- sailles because of its chandelier, but to do them in the dark would be ter- rible.

Much surprised to find Sam home at noon, but he had remembered during the morning that this is the date on which the rye whiskey he is making from a preparation that was given him must be opened, and was so eager to view the results that he could not keep away from them. So he did mix up an old-fashioned cock- tayle, which I drank, like a fool, forasmuch as I was so drowsy after luncheon that I did fall asleep over a book, a privilege I have been re- serving for my anility. But I do recall one sentence from the Hard- Boiled Virgin’s animadversions that pleased me highly: “Even Nathaniel Hawthorne was obliged to admit that sometimes men and women are hap- pily married.” Baird Leonard.

Doctor Recommends This Tobacco to Pipe-Smoking Patients There seems to be an_unwritten law among pipe-smokers. When one man discovers a way to get more enjoyment out of his pipe, he feels obligated to tell the “pipe-smoking fraternity” about it, So it is not surprising that when Doe. tor Gardiner of Florida found a tobacco that really enabled him to enjoy a pipe for the first time, he made a point of recommending it to all his pipe-smoking patients.
