Any One Can Live Alone—and Like It—Miss Hillis Insists|

BY ERIZABETH CARR Marjorie Hillis, who transformed the old maid into the extra woman, in her book, “Live Alone and Like It,” believes there is no reason the woman who lives alone should look different, act different or be different from the woman who doesn’t

live alone. If a woman doesn’t enjoy a solo existence, it’s nobody's. fault but her own, the writer says. Any one can live alone and like it, she insists. Some do it rather poorly, and some do it rather well. These observations she has incorporated in her first book. The charmingly natural Miss Hillis, at a luncheon given in her honor yesterday by L. S. Ayres & Co. officials, further defined her. 1936 cutlook for the extra women whose presence, she said, “is a problem, even though she may be as alluring as Joyce.” a BY who = autographed books here yesterday and confessed being thrilled by the excitement and the work of being a celebrity (although she’s not so sure she is one), has left for Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington to tell others about her survey. The author was a dinner. guest of D. Laurence Chambers, president of Bobbs-Merrill Co., who published the book, and Mrs. Chambers, last night. Poems Written to Fit! “Being Spartan is pointless without an audience, and you can’t be selfish without an opponent, so you might as/well have a thoroughiy good time being as comfortable and

gay as possible. The more you en- |

joy yourself, the more of a person you are,” shé said. Miss Hillis wrote her book more than a year ago, at which time several members of her family and he: friends offered suggestions “and of course they were right,” she admitted. She shows all her work to her brother, saying she wouldn't feel right unless she did. This is her first book, although she wrote poetry “when she was very young on the subjects of life and love.” When she first joined the Vogue magazine staff, of which she now is an editorial member, some one rushed up to her: “You write poetry, don’t you?” Miss Hillis agreed rather reluc-

tly. “Well,” she was informed, “we're just going to press and we've lost a poem. Write one five and a half inches long and two and a half inches wig. One of her short stories is to appear soon in Delineator, and her

book is being adapted by Faith Baldwin for the movies. “I don’t know just how it will turn out. I suppose it will have a romance,” she said. “Anyway, I have been forewarned—I won’t be surprised if it’s about a boys’ school or the life

of a fish.” Another Book? Perhans

“Another book? Why, yes, I hope to write some fiction some day,” she said. “But, you know, the longer you. put it off the more it helps your ego. For you always have the thought that some day when you have time, you will do another book. ‘Wouldn't it be awful if it. flopped?” : Her fan mail, she admitted, has carried no proposals of marriage, but has included three very indignant letters—two on. the budget she outlines and one on the liquor question. “The author of the letter objecting to liquor not only voiced her opinion, but ripped the whole chapter from the book and sent it along, with the “objectional” passages deleted, she said. ‘I live alone and have for sik

years,” she concluded, “and I like it.”
