Just Watches

DOES SHE take any notes? Not a word. She Just watches. As Earl told me earlier, Mrs. Wilson wants to be the girl he goes home with, not to. “You know,” Earl sald, “people might talk, especially my wife.” : Well, I wanted to know, what do you do when

some glamorous creature makes with the eyes?«

“I make friends with her,” answered Mrs, Wilson, “That's the best thing to do.” Mrs. Wilson never dreamed, when she married Earl, that she would someday meet the celebrities and be admitted to the inner circles of the capitols of thie world. She frankly admitted she was only a poor stenographer when she and Earl decided to become partners for life. But she had an inkling that life with him would be exciting. Night ‘before they were married, for. instance, Earl covered five’ executions at Sing Sing. The big: break finally came and the doors to the places where people in the news gather opened wide. : “I'd be a lug if I said. I didn’t like to talk and ! meet the people that make news,” sald Mrs. Wilson. Joan Crawford is the nicest person with the celebrity tag on that Mrs, Wilson ever met, She

she does. The intenseness mixed with generosity, sincerity and kindliness make the movie star tops in the estimation of Earl's B. W, ° She told of the times Miss Crawford had in-

vited the columnist and her to lunch. Help trouble

developed in Miss Crawford's. home, That was during the war. When they arrived, Miss Crawford had just finished scrubbing the house and was busy preparing luncheon. The salad dressing rang a bell with Mrs. Wilson. She mentioned how well she liked it. Before the couple left, Miss Crawford mixed a new batch and presented them with a jar. Mrs. Wilson is of the opinion that when anyone speaks disparagingly of a celebrity, nine times out of 10 they don't know the person théy ‘are speaking about, My ears perked up when I heard Mrs. Wilson say that every "girl should marry a newspaperman. She claims they lead such interesting lives. No two days are the same. Something is happening all the time. “When you ask a newspaperman what hap-

NEW YORK, Nov. 5—The annual October itch

having done its evil work, despite a month-long battle with his better self, little Buster here is off on another one of those things. Ordinarily I know where I'm going, having thought up a beau-.-tiful and noble itinerary to impress my masters,

but this is open rebellion and I will tell them

nothing at all. . They can take that old expense account and they #n ., . oops ... what am I saying? - 9 Usually the business of travel is simple. You mince into the master’s platinum-floored office wearing a look. of sly self-sacrifice, You toss in a few waste pitches about the weather and what a fine editorial that was the other day, make a couple. of innocuous confession of unimportant sins he knows about anyhow and then mutter that New York is wearing a little thin and maybe . . . Then comes the real technique. If it’s winter, you never chqose a trip that will be warm, You say that Montreal needs looking at and the man agrees that maybe it does, If it's summer, you say maybe we better check St. Louis or something classy In Kansas and the man says fine, as long as it isn’t too much fun you can do it. ~

Distance Always Melts "FROM THERE ON, it's a cinch. Once you're out of town it is-practically no distance at all to New Orleans or San Francisco or Acapulco or Denver or some other pleasant place. As long as you don't answer the phones or read letters the office can't, get at you and you can generally bum eating money from the editors as you go along, editors being pretty easy to flimflam if it ain't . their dough. 9 ’ When you come back a couple months later the office is reasonably. testy, especially when the expense account is rendered unto Caesar, But if you keep out of- sight for a few days, some new crisis usually bobs up and takes the heat off you. This has been the technique for some time, and always workable until now, . When I hinted shyly at my three. keepers, the other day, that travel was broadening, they all 3 ) yowled. “Not New Orleans’ they screamed, wounded horse. ‘“Not Havana!”

Fur Flies

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—You want a rabbit skin, tax free, to wrap your: Baby Bunting in? Thanks to somie nervous foxes.and S0me senatorial gobbledesupergook, this can’ be -arrariged.

“It's against the law to buy-a fur coat. without

paying a 20 per cent tax on it, but you can do it anyhow. : This sorry tale of the. conscientious tax collector, name of George J. Schoeneman, and his ¢ollision with the lawgivers who had forgotten how to write plain English, had Its beginnings in Wisconsin a couple of years ago en an Army flying machine soared over a fox farm. The noise scared the foxes. They got into a fight. This ruined a numbep ‘of Incipient fur coats. and Congress. got a bill for damage done, The boys ‘paid off; they also passed a law prohibiting federal fliers’ from frightening foxes. It was obvious to the masters of the foxes that Congress was in a sympathetic mood and they, goodness knows, had andther problem. :

Senator Takes Up Cudgels THE GOVERNMENT not only was taxing fur coats, but also cloth coats trimmed in fur. Fox skins mostly were going into the trimmings, or would, if there were any. The ladies weren't

buying fur-trimmed coats because they could buy

plain ones 20 per cent cheaper. The fox farmers demfinded action. i x * Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, Republican from the fox country surrounding Appleton, Wis., took up the-cudgeis....Abalish the tax on fur-trimmed coats, cried he. ¥ : That sounded simple enough. His fellow 18gislators were sympathetic, but they also were suspicious of the fur-coat makers. They tried to write a law whereby a fellow couldn't make a fur coat . trimmed in cloth, say it was vice versa, and sell ‘it tax free. The more they thoiighit about this the complicateder it got. They called in their legislative experts. .

Thesé would be furtrimmed. coats, obviously, and hence taxless. An unnamed city slicker in the fur trade had another idea. He took the cheapest fur he could buy, namely rabbit skin (which has at least 50 different names each fancier than the next), and lined it with the de luxiest satin on the market. The lining cost almost as much as the fur. So, said he and his lawyer, it was tax free.

Mink Coat Makers Sore |

HE STARTED his assembly line on cheap furs with costly linings. So did numerous competitors and this fall all over the land the fur merchants advertised genuine fur coats without taxes. This made the manufacturers of mink coats sore. Try as they would, they couldnt find a coat lining a third as costly as thé-outer covering. They protested to Washington. Commissioner Schoeneman ruled that fur coats were fur coats and subject to tax, no. matter if they were lined with spun gold. That was last Tuesday. The fur began to fly, mostly by wiré and. longdistance phone. Fur men, coast to coast, said ~ he was crucifying ‘em.
