Mrs. A. V. Shotwell Attends Actors
Equity Ball at Hotel Astor, N. Y.
Just missing a dunce with Rodolph Valentino by a hair's breadth, but
treasuring memories of a measure tripped with Norman Trevor, who is
with Grace George in “In Love,” and with Juan Delacruze, who is with
Henry Miller's ' La Tendresse,” are some of the Interesting things that hap
pened to Mrs. A. V. Shotwell during her month's stay In New Vork, from
•'here she returned Thanksgiving day.
All these delirious delights took place at the A (tors’ Equity ball, held
In the Aator Noverolier 18, where Mrs. Shotwell went as the guest of her
sister, Mrs. Christine Brooks, and where she rubbed elbows with all the
great and near great of the theatrical world.
"Rodolph and his wile, Winifreds
Hudriut, danced the tango In Spanish
costume and, of course, with the bril
liant color of the costumes and the
kaleidoscopic background, it was far
more fascinating even than on the
screen. When he came out someone
shauted ‘Hang on to your girls; hero
comes RolodphV
Ethel Barrymore, as vice president
of the association, led the grand
march anil was her own magnificent
self in a white gown. "That white Is
very smart this year," said Mrs. Khot
weli, "was borne out hy the fact that
it was also worn hy Mme. t'ecile Sorel,
who occupied a box. and was given a
great ovation during the evening.
When the orchestra played the "Mar
seillaise" they throw the spotlight on
her and she stood up to bow and re
ceive a great sheaf of roses. Mme.
Sorel appeared to be almost complete
ly swathed In ivory veils, from head to
feet.”
Afterwards Mrs. Shotwell was for
tunate enough to he introduced to
Mme. Sorel at a reception in her !
honor. "Of course," she said "my
French wouldn't stand much conver
Ration. but we smiled und jabbered
amiably' at each other for a moment, ,
not understanding hut, not caring.
"Tlie Polly sisters gave a specialty
as we all mt around on the floor to
watch. They pretended they weir
Shetland ponies and were costumed in
white georgette with cunning little
plumes as tails down the middle of
their backs from the tops of their
heads. There wore also fluffs of
feathers around their wrists and
ankles. A map held the reins and
they champed at the bit, shook their
pretty heads and pawed the ground
with tiny feet.”
Mrs. Sholiyell had the distinction of
being given a hail by Adolph I.ewisohn
in the ball room of hts home. This
apartment is so perfect iui expression
of the Louis XV period that a replica
of It. exact in every detail, is on exl*i
bitlon in the Metropolitan museum.
Another guest that evening was Mme.
Ellcy Ney, tho great pianist.

What. I'nderwood Suggested in An
aly zing Madge and Dicky.
1 hud no retort to make to Harry
Underwood’s mirthful assertion that
1 was like ull other women, ready to
flare up In defen si of my husband no
matter how badly he had treated mo.
Indeed, too conscious was 1 of the
fact that there was more than a grain
of truth In his absurdity to dispute
his statement, even If 1 had wished
to ront.nue the undignified dispute.
That 1 had dragged Lillian's name
into the controversy was another mat
ter of keen regret to me. ' Why." I
asked myself scathingly, “didn't I
remember Harry Underwood's pen
chant for teasing, and lenvu his stilly
unanswered?”
But there was no use mulling over
v.hut I might have left unsaid. And
there was no recourse for me except
silence, which, I am afraid, was dis
tinctly sullen. Harry Underwood,
however, lost no time ip breaking in
to it.
‘ Look here, old dear.” lie said, sud
denly sober, “let's get this thing
straight. You think I'm tin- devil re
proving sin because I'ni scoring
Dicky on account of this performance
when my own record concerning Lil
isn’t all to the balmy. Well, in one
way you’re probably right! I'm not
hanging any Japanese lanterns on
niystlf for constancy or decency or
any other of the domestic viitues, but
you've pot to remember this—”
He paused as if choosing his words,
and I watched him, fascinated by
an expression of sincerity thut sat
oddly upon his usually mocking face.
"Can I Ever Forget?”
"Lil and I,” he resumed slowly,
"were two battered hulks drifting
downstream when we Jostled each
other, and decided to drift together
for company. I'm not denying that
I was iniinltely the more battered of
the two. and that Lil made a mighty
poor bargain. Hut, remember, that
she was a rftatarc, experienced woman
—a divorcee to boot—when she picked
me off the lemon tree, and she did it
with her eyes fully open to the fact
that I was over ripe and likely to
spoil on her hands. Lll was prepared
for anything I might do, and like the
thoroughbred she is, she never has
ylppcil at anything I've done. But
the fact remains that she married
me knowing exactly what she was
doing, while you—”
He broke off abruptly, and into his
eyes flashed the old Inscrutable ex
pression which always compels me to
turn iny own eyes away from his In
a confusion which maddens me.
"Can I ever forget,” ne began again
after a long pause, “tlib Hist n ght
I ever saw you? It was In the thea

married. The Dickybird introduced
you to Lil and me, strutting like a
young rooster who has just won his
first barnyard fight. I expected to
hear him crow every second. And, by
George. I didn't blame him when you
lifted those lamps of yours and logked
up at me! It was like looking into
deep pools of water where the sun
light is trying to chase the shadows
away.
Madge Is Amused.
"Not that you turned any sunlight
in my direction,” he smiled. “You
might have been Galatea before—

iiis voice trailed off into silence,
and I realized that for a second or
two he was actually lost in the remin
iscence of that long-past time, which
I remembered ns vividly ns he. Then
ho spoke again, more briskly.
“But I’m getting away from my

too much for me, and I laughed un

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
_ BEATRICE FAIRFAX_
The Unwelcome Kiss.
Dear Miss Fairfax: When a girl
is suddenly kissed by her department
head, and when a few minutes later
he kisses her again, she makes only
a slight effort to stop him, what does
the man think of her?
Does he think her reputation for
bring a quiet, stay-at-home kind is
not true? Did he kiss her because he
liked her personally or because he
wanted to kiss any girl and she was
the nearest?
He flirts with all the girls, lots of
women call him up and we tlnnk he
is married.
Should the girl leave her position
or should she forget the incident?
A PUZZLED QUARTET.
The man was probably expressing
the emotion of the moment. It is
likely he takes himself and his emo
tions lightly and that he is not stop
ping to analyze what the girl thought
or meant. The girl has learned a
bit about herself in that she did not
resist or start analyzing and wonder
ing until it was over—and the man
made no further move. The thing for
her to do Is to put the Incident out of
her mind as far as regret or self-con
sciousness is concerned, and to try to
gain poise and serenity through rec
ognizing how little such a cheap and
cnsual moment means to a man. Let
her show her real dignity by acting
ns if nothing had happened and think
ing of other things so she will actual
ly forget the whole incident.
M. G. G.: In that case, I should
step right up and tell the girl to ask
the questions direct of you and you
will answer them, so she will not be
forced to inquire of your character
In roundabout and annoying ways.
Freddy: You may reasonably sus
pect she likes your company when
she has been accepting it readily for
three months. If you continue to
treat her well, undoubtedly one of
these days she will give you a hint
that you are the one young man in
the world for her. If you.get a good
three months’ start, from there on it
depends pretty much on just how
nicely you treat a girl to have it blos
some into a genuine romance.

Tommy Fox Asks Too Many Ques
tions. I
“Pop!" Tommy Fox said to Ids
father one day. "What business are
you in?"
Mr. Fox gave his son a sharp look.
"What put that idea into your
head?” he asked.
“L heard old Mr. Crow talking—“
Tommy began.
"Ah, ha!” cried Mr. Fox. “Ah, ha!
And did Mr. Crow mention what his
business is?”
"He said he guarded the cornfield
for Farmer Green.”
Mr. F'ox smiled widely and wisely
at this answer.
“Well, I'm one of Farmer Green’s
helpers, too,” he deelored. “I rid
the fields of mice that eat the grain.
That's what my business is.” Ms.
Fox looked at Mrs. Fox as if some
thing amused him. But Tommy
couldn’t guess where the joke was.
9
'So h« docs — when he makes
himself," Fox replied.
"But, Pop!” he said once more, to
get his father's attention. “Does it
help Farmer Green when you take a
hen front the henhouse?”
And now Mrs. Fox shot a merry
look at her husband, f*he seemed to
see something funny, which Mr. Fox
must have missed.
"Why doesn’t it help Farmo
Green when I rid him of a hen?” he
demanded somewhat tartly. "Would
n't lie have to feed that hen if I
didn't carry it'off?”
••yes, father.” said Tommy Fox.
"Vee, indeed!” said his father. "Cet
tainly! Of course!"
Meanwhile it seemed as it Mrs. Fox
couldn’t stop laughing. Her merry
mood must Have annoyed Mr. Fox
Anyhow, he ucted sadly bored ami
remarked in a sour tone that some
people would laugh at anything. -
“Is your business good this sea
son?” Tommy asked his father sud
denly.
"Very!” said Mr. Fox. "I’ve never
seen the tnico more plentiful.” The
very thought of tine families of fat
mice pul him into better spirits. "Tim
hens are doing well this season, too,”
he added.
And then his son asked him an

Well, that sent Mrs. Fox off into
another gale of laughter. Mr. Fox
tried to answer Tommy's question.
Isut he couldn't make himself heard.

wife. "What is the joke?"
"Oh! oh! oh!” Mrs. Fox soreumed.

"Don't ask any more foolish ques

he put on his hat and left the house.

“So he does—when he makes them

There are many grades of

Naturally, he wants you
to specify the kind you like, but if
you don’t, how is he to know what grade
you desire ?
