Reading this day in a book called “The Old Dark House,” the last pages of which have been sealed by the publishers with the statement that the book- seller will give two dollars to all pur- chasers who return the book with the | seal unbroken, but I doubt if even a | Scotchman takes up their offer, so | swift and grim is the tale’s action. February The telephone a-ringing at what seemed the break 1st of day, and Sam said it was a Mistress Gould wishing speech with me, but before I could connect with the instrument she had either hung up or been cut off, so that I was racked with curiosity as to her message, fancying all varieties of bonuses, from tickets for the play to legacies from unknown relatives, .but I ds y it was nought but some poor wretch wanting to sell me a vacuum cleaner or trap me into pos- ing for my photograph. This busi- ness of looking after my throat the biggest bore that I have endured for some time, and I did keep to my | bed, with no small self-pity for miss- ing Lydia Loomis’ luncheon, but ie fixed me what she does call a vegetable steak, which is a thick slice of eggplant topped with a slice of broiled ham and some fine fresh mushrooms, so that the sacrifice of a possible squab meant nought, and I do know that my salad of endive, watercress and grapefruit was better than aught I could have got abroad. Whilst on the subject of food, Kate Harding tells me that her young daughter, asking carte blanche for the last meal eaten with her parents at their hotel before she left for boarding-school, did insist on having oysters for breakfast and arranged with the waiter to blend whipped cream with the maple syrup that covered her waffles. Lord! I do well recall how Edith Hatch and I once ate for breakfast some tripe and ice cream left over from a banquet of our elders, and even now I could do with some pepper relish on my morning tray, to say nought of radishes and tomatoes. Casting up my accounts this day, I did grow so despondent as to think of disappear- ing, but I do be so simple-minded and have so little histrionic ability that I should probably get no farther than the Park Lane, on our corner.
