MONTHS LATER the second sécretary in the British) Embassy in Washington answered, saying Princess Margaret appreciates the “kind inS vitation,” but will be unable to accept. My nose was out of joint for a few days. Nothing serious. The only beef was that a second secretary in Washington should handle something that was none of his business. Princess Margaret's personal secretary wouldn't have been too bad. The first secretary in Washington would have been tolerable. The second secretary

at that time and I used the melody. The words’ were specially written for Princess Margaret. Thousands of radio listeners heard it on its premier presentation over WFBM. The record was packed and sent by registered mail to Buckingham Palace. I'm still waiting for a reply. At this point I'll take a letter from the second secretary. No I won't. We're through. Last May the boss sent me to Europe. I thought it might be a fine gesture if the King were taken a gift. He wasn't feeling well and a book seemed appropriate. It was decided that James Whitcomb Riley's book of poems, “The Ol’ Swimmin’ Hole and 'Leven Other Poems” was just the ticket. GOVERNOR Schricker liked the idea and wrote a letter of introduction to the King. I hauled the gift and the letter to London. The plan fell flat mainly because His Majesty was ill. He couldn't even take part in the Trooping of the Color ceremony which takes place on his birthday. S80 I wandered around Engiand until I happened to meet the Lord Mayor of Coventry, Harry Weston. Mayor Weston was delighted when he heard about the book of poems and offered to

No need of getting mad at Australia and Canada, for example. But if they want to get tough, I'll take them on. In the words of that great American patriot, Patrick Henry, speaking in the Virginia House of Burgesses: “If this be treason, make the most of it.” Case closed, file burned.
Conscience Comes— With a Piano Tuner
to tell you how good he likes it, but this is what you are doing wrong and if you will only write his way you will be a second Ernie or Heywood or Peg or Farrell when all you want to be is you, and quiet, and gently unhappy on vour own time, TUNING a piano-is unnecessary anvhow, and especially in the morning, because I am tone-deaf for a start and when pianos are played nobody sever stops talking so how can they say it is in or out of tune? But like dying and a few other demands on a man’s time it seems that you have to have the tuner in, but why morning? (Crash! Bang!) And with vacuum cleaners, too (Purrrr.)
