Jie had been an admirer of Irish architecture, and when he built his home, he had copied an Irish ra, ;> He took the blueprints with him to Ireland and bought furnishings, light fixtures and ornaments to be in harmony with the architecture. Some time la‘er Mr Reed died in Ireland. Fred Dickson bought the home and in it his daughter. Eleanor, was married to Otto Frenzel, and Mr and Mrv Frenzel own the home now. C eilings Are Vaulted We stepped into the hall, with its vaulted ceilings painted blue, its walls white and the floor pray We imagined now it had once been cold and ausJere and furnished with medieval-styled furniture We shivered with our imaginings, and then relaxed to a comfortable complacence as we looked at the new adornments.

P’rench doors open onto a roof garden. - In the hall a settee is upholstered in turquoise blue moire, rdged in peach fringe. A pair of while lamps stand on pedestals on both sides. One room upstairs is furni hed in eggplant and green, and serves as a lounge where guests may play bridge. Since the Charm House opened a year ago in May, its clientele of discriminating diners has grown to necessitate larger quarters. With larger quarters. Charm House services have increased. Luncheon will bo served from 12 to 2 30; cocktails from 3 to 6; dinner from 5:30 to 9. and after theater service from 9 to 12. Creole dishes still are a specialty and the Kentucky son who mixes the cocktails is loyal to the Kentucky tradition. Mrs. Jensen always is concocting specialties, which are delights to the gourmet's soul. Mr. Jensen greets guests and serves as the hospitable host. Mrs. Jensen's aunt, Mrs. George Ryan, stiU rules over the kitchen, which has earned the Charm House's success.

ences are doubtedly'wearing; his golf takes its toll. The routine of his days is debilitating and his trials are apparently endless as the struggles with the latent NR A codes. Strikes upset his liver; the heat is hard

It seems to me the idea is just one of those things we have taken so long for granted that it has become legend. Yet there's no denying we look with suspicion upon the business man who doesn't profess a warm fondness for dogs, fishing and detective novels.

He hates love stories, despises problem novels and has no time for books that attempt by the medium of fiction to interpret American life to him. He shies at what he calls propaganda literature. Stories about the Soviets bore him. He puts no faith whatever in the perspicacity of those who would translate for him foreign temperaments and belief. No, his tired brain must feed upon murder.
