Countess Ciano Plans to Visit United States
Daughter of II Duce To|

BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent ' LONDON, Oct. 22.—Unless plans ready made are called off, a pair very black, piercing eyes will surfey the American scene in New ork and Washington -early this
‘coming winter and a pair of little
pick ears will listen carefully to the that is going round, and’in due course what has been seen and heard will reach father—Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. For the owner of these eyes and ears is good-look-ing, dark-haired, magnoliaskinned Edd a, Countess Ciano, wife of the young Count Galeazzo ‘Ciano, who is ‘minister for Foreign Affairs in 11 Duee’s cabinet. T he present is for

From her earliest youth she has been the one being in the world who is not afraid of the Dyce's most savage look. Duce Seeks American Ideas The .Duce is tremendously interested in the United States. America has a very large population of Italjan ancestry. . But aside from the contributions ‘Americans of Italian blood have made to the common American pot, the Duce is interested in mass production. in American industry and the methods of overcoming the depressipn.. And even more than that, he wants to get the feel of life and thought ‘in ' New York and Washington. Edda’s life story is part of the modern fairy tale that is the Duce’s. When she was born 26 ‘years ago, Mussolini and his wife, Rachele, were quite poor, He was editing a Socialist paper which could pay very meager wages and he and his family dwelt in very humble quar-
ters. . As she grew older and as her father mounted the ladder to fame e, her education was Jooked after in part by him, in part by competent teachers. She learned languages, housekeeping, became an

She Eats All Day, Six Days a Week and Is Paid for It
BY LAURA LOU BROOKMAN NEA Sertice Writer
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—She eats all day long—and gets paid for it.
Anna Martin, siender, attractive, is a young woman who isn't hungering for a career. She has one which she likes very much. Miss Martin is a professional All day long, six days a week, she visits restaurants, hotels, eating places of all sorts, orders meals (and eats them, too), making obervations about the food, service, prices and portions. ¢ She is employed by the Childs Restaurant Co. which decided last
January it would, be a good thing to
have some one- ht ‘about, New York “restaurant shopping,” just as department: stores employ shoppers Lo check the prices and quality of various commodities.
Usually Eats 10 Meals
Ten meals a day. is her usual number, although she’s been known
‘to get in as many as 12. She hasn't gained even an ounce
since she took the job. Five feet, four inches tall, Miss Martin weighs 125 pounds, which is just about right according to the health and beauty charts. “People always ask how 1 manage to eat so many meals and keep from gaining weight,” she says. “I guess it’s. because I walk a lot. Of course, I don’t always eat everything I order, but I have to do more than just taste dishes. I do avoid rich desserts.” _ She has eaten in about 800 New York restaurants.
Her working—or “eating”—hours
vary. Some days Miss Martin devotes to breakfasts and luncheons. thers she spends at mid-day and evening meals. On a day that is to include six
breakfasts she is‘ready for work |
by 7:30 a. m.
Breakfast Begins at 8 By 8 o'clock she enters;a restaur-
T. ant, studies the menu and orders
her first breakfast. A series of six usually goes something like this:
neh hour.”
No. 1—Pruit juice, English muffins, ‘coffee. ‘No. 2—Cereal and coffee. No. 3—Poached €gg on toast, coffee. No. 4—Sweet un, coffee. No. 5—Fruit., No. 6—Coffee.
After breakfasts Miss ; Martin isn't
likely ‘to feel like eating until 1 or 2 p. m. Then, for a five-decker luncheon, she would probably order: No. 1—Soup and gy light sandwich. No. 2—Fish or meat with vegetables. No..3—8alad, rolls. No. 4—Dessert, coffee. No. 5—Soup. She isn’t allowed to confine meals to just the dishes she likes best, but doesn’t consider that a handicap. “I like everything,” she says. “Eggplant is about the ‘only thing I ever really disliked and I can eat that now.”
. She’s Held Many. Jobs
Twenty minutes is long enough for Miss Martin to find ‘out all she wants to know about a restaurant. The reason she can make expert observations is because there's not a job—from dishwasher to manager— she hasn’t held. Graduated from Pratt Institute, she spent a year as dietitian at Sydenham- Hospital in
New York. Later she’ was food supervisor for g large corporation operating ‘dining rooms for its employes, worked for several large res taurants, and two years ago’ was
1 employed by Childs.
Miss Martin was born in Housatonic, Mass. 'Her parents still live there and she manages to get home often. ‘She likes sports: though ‘she doesn’t have much time for them, reads a lot, including six newspapers daily. Her “difies keep. her whizzing about the city ‘at all hours. Called at her office headquarters, , a voice on -the.. telephone replied, “Miss Martin isn’t here: now.: It's her

Learning Lines
{ Production and. Supper
- Dance Committee Is Named,
BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor
EVERAL Dramatic Club meme bers are seeking quiet moments to settle down to the serious busie ness of “learning lines.” If they unexpectedly refuse tempting nvie tations for evenings out, they probs. ably have resolved to go into seclu= sion to memorize their lines in the season’s first play, to be presented Nov. 14 at English's. The play itself is to ‘be an-
‘hounced later.
Casting was completed this week, and rehearsals are to bé started next week at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Robert = Scott, president, has appointed Mr. and Mrvs. Richard: Fairbanks Jr... presentation chairmen and their committee includes Miss Jose phine Madden, Mr. and Mrs: David L. Stone and Guernsey Van Riper, They also are to arrange the cuse tomary supper dance following the production. The social season isn't “launched” until the Dramatic Club has opened its season. Guest tickets are scarce and membership is exclusive, Older members: who limit their social ‘activities come to see their children or, perhaps, grandchildren carry the acting honors they once enjoyed. The younger members make ‘the evening very gala with dinner parties preceding the show and dance. : The evening also is an occasion of first appearances for favorite new gowns and new - hairdresses. 'Escorts do their share to make the evening festive - with the corsages they send.
