. = THE STRANGE thing about Mr. Noble’s reckless romance is that it happens to be true. Every day we learn something

new. Your reviewer has just

learned—and you will, too—that Anne Ella Carroll ‘was the eldest daughter of the Governor of Maryland.

For practically everything Anne does there is‘ documentation. Harry is almost the only major invention, and the author had to have him as a foil for Evans,

Mr. Noble shovels in plenty of both, but I think it is primarily a novel of action. Anne and Lem fence sweetly—she always likes

THE FIRST READER—By Harry Hansen :Roosevelts' Mrs. Nesbitt

Writes of the Homey Side Of White House Homelife

"WHITE HOUSE DIARY, * By, Henriette Nesbitt. New York, Double.

. IF YOU REALLY want the low-down on official life | in Washington, tackle it via the kichen entrance, as related “White House Diary” by Henrietta Nesbitt, who is. described as “F. D. R.’s housekeeper.” The title is inexact; Mrs, Nesbitt was Eleanor Roosevelt's housekeeper.

ion of some of the entourage may be surmised from her anecdotes of the uppity maids and valets; There was a great to-do over a new swimming cap for, the queen and one of the maids became because the original torn cap was not returned.’ Mra. Nesbitt was to be introduced to the royalties, so she asked Mrs. Roosevelt: “What on earth will I say?” “Oh, just say I'm pleased to meet you,’ and mumble something,” Mrs. Roosevelt answered. ts » = » i MRS. NESBITT liked the queen and approved of the king when: he ate everything put .before him--‘clam cocktail, calf’s head soup, terrapin with corn bread sticks, sliced tomatoes, peas and beets, the boned capon with forcemeat and cranberry jelly, sweet potato cones, the frozen cheese : and cress: salad, maple and almond ice cream and coffee, It was a marvel to see one so slim eat so much.” The temperature was 95. Upstairs .the maids were getting blankets out of the moth balls and filling hot water bottles. “My lady likes to sleep warm,” said one of the English’ maids, “and ‘I would like some milk heated for her, too, when she comes up.” This makes Mrs. Neshitt's subsequent comment rather baffling: “During their visit they (the majesties) had not made a single demand. Royal guests take things as they are. The ‘arrogance of some British servants could only be compared to that of some of our American guests who made life a horror for the help.” It was a wild life, as seen the help. But Mrs. Nesbitt tells it with humor and irony. And there must be ‘a glint in her eye that suggests she is getting back at last at some of the eccentric guests who wore her out and took advantage of her ideal man— the President Who footed the bills.
