Columbus, 0. nd Mrs. Pep’s Diary (Continued from Page 12) the household on my account, and also having my luncheon on a tray— jellied soup, broiled chicken, string beans, popovers, endive and prune souffle, all very fine. A good go at the magazines, too, and in one devoted to fashions I did find an illustrated article on apparel for one’s second mar- riage, as courageous an editorial at. tempt to keep abreast of the times as I have yet discovered, and now it will not surprise me to come upon a piece entitled, “What To Do Until the Bootlegger Comes.” Reading also how some court had ruled that a man in love is not in his right mind, | could not but reflect that Shakespeare proved the same thing long ago when he wrote “Romeo and Juliet”. Up and dressed for dinner, Sam having accused me of coddling my cold solely because of the hot toddies it does rate me, and found in the hall a new photo- graph of Cissy Maxon, very splendid and flattering, which caused Sam to remark that a man who could take such a picture of Cissy ought to be lined up in some connection with Sir Joseph Duveen. Hollywood Pastimes “Really, my dear, we're not like most of the picture people. We live a very quiet and sane existence. Our house isn’t at all large or ornate—just twenty rooms or so. I manage comfortably with five servants and a gardener. We have our little circle of friends and entertain very simply. Why, I don’t believe we've had more than a hun- dred people at a party since we built the new house. These women who are always boasting about how much their husbands make and how much it costs them to live—nauseate me. Frank doesn’t make a huge salary— just fifteen hundred a week—but we get along quite well. At any rate he has a steady job. I think he’s better off than these men who make five thousand a week for awhile and then don’t work for months at a time. Why, my dear, we only run four cars—three Lincolns and an old wreck I use just to hack around in: a 1928 Cadillac. We even found it was costing us too much to keep up our boat. So we sold it and bought a cheap little 75- foot cruiser just to take a few friends out on Sunday afternoons. Thank goodness I’m not the type of woman who needs a lot to be happy. My tastes—and Frank’s—are very plain. Robert Lord. comicbooks.com ee nm
