Even in the midst of Victoria Sackville-Wesi's highly cultural lecture on "The Modern Spirit in Literature" at the Friday Morning Club. I found my attention wandering to her dashing black kimono coat with its provocative touches of year and heaven knows what for pinch-hitting for Aimee at th Temple, the while her assistant, Kathleen Michael, at around $3000 a year, carries on for feminine humanity on behalf of the State.

I wanted to dance over to her anxious spouse, the Hon. Harold Nicholson, who pulled his moustache and chewed his nails nervously during her talk, tweak his cheek gaily and assure him that everything would be all right. Itnink part of his anxiety was occasioned when Mrs. Louise Watkins, the president, introduced her as "Lady Sackville-West." Not that she isn't a perfect lady, you understand, but, even with a seventh-baron papa, the best Burke's Peerage will allow her is an "Honorable" to match her husband's. At luncheon afterward, Mrs.

Watkins reduced her to a plain "Miss," so just strike a golden mean and you have it. Just as well her talk was not at Ebell, since the lovely lady nonchalently lit a cigarette at lunch. One may well envy Nellie Simmons Meier, that gay clevr old darling who goes in for scientiTio palmistry so profitably.

I've been in a mood myself this week to press a token into a car conductor's hand with a caress. So I was entirely sympathetic when Suzanne Wood, that veteran actress, who was once presented at royal court in England fan entirely honorable episode that has sustained her through the years.) confided that her forthcoming book would be entitled "Two Hundred and Fifty Indecent Episcodes." And that was righ after the Sackville-West "spirit of modern literature" talk, too. Bless their fond Inconsistent feminine hearts! After cheering Mao Copeland Lineman's speech at the county federation convention, anent the urgent necessity of paring State expenditures to the bone, the dear women passed a resolution that there should positively be no reduction in any appropriations affecting women and children!

"No one but this composite wife of Uncle Sam can do these things." declares Mrs. Poole, "and now it is more essential than ever that the wife does her civic duty. Her home work Is taken as a matter of course but the federation is at present emphasizing the duties outside of the home. Only as we make the surroundings right can we hope to have the right life within the home and the home's demands are our first consideration, after all." The board of the Los Angeles District Federation of Women's Clubs will honor Mrs. Poole at a luncheon the 22nd inst.
