YORK By JULIA BLANSHARD New York, May 12.—Cobina Wright, Social registerite, famous here and abroad for her annual fancy circus Parties in which titled folk and other society celebrities not only have to ‘wear costumes but perform in their own circus “acts,” staged the best one of her life this year for the bene- fit of the Boy Scouts. ‘The performers in the big ring, the side shows, palm reading booths and shooting galleries were a veritable crosssection of New York’s “400,” celebrities of the stage and screen, and famous artists and writers. Francis Lederer who, as a singing Alpine peasant in “Autumn Crocus,” became the town’s matinee idol, fur- nished inspiration for more men’s costumes than any other single char- acter at the circus. There must have been 100 Tyrolean peasants, among the colorful 1500 fancy costumes un- der the “big top” erected in the Wal- dorf-Astoria ballroom. De Wolfe Hopper, one of the pseudo-peasants, looked so native his best friends didn’t recognize him. Marlene Dietrich and other wom- en may have gone back to skirts, but there still seems to be a suppressed yen for trousers among women, judg- ing by the numbers of them who ap- peared as bellhops, gigolos, cowboys, Spanish troubadors, pirates and be- smocked Bohemian artists.

She followed, watching, afraid to believe her eyes. If it only were ... but it couldn’t be! And yet it was! It was! “Tony!” she cried, “Tony Schia- i tever are you doing here! s0 glad—so awfully glad to. see you!’ His lined face lit up. “Lily Lou! It’s you!” “Yes. Oh Tony—I’m’so GLAD!” She kissed him heartily. She was so glad to see him. But he flushed awkwardly, and seemed embar- rassed, so that she wished she hadn’t. She thought, “I’ve been with ‘Nita NahIman so long I’m begin- ning to act like her!” But she clung to his arm. They walked the deck, then found a sheltered corner, and he spread blankets and rolled her up snugly. “Tell me every single thing that has happened since I left New York!” He did not have very much news. He had just spent six weeks abroad. Oh, doing nothing particu- lar. Just traveling around, but he had heard that she sang in Paris— “Yes. The other girl had to break a leg, or an ankle, rather, so that I could get the chance. “I hear you were a lovely Mi- caela. In perfect voice.” “Tony, you DIDN’T ‘hear that? Who told you?” “A man I know. A producer, who may do something for me.” “You’re going to have your chance! To-ny!” “Yes. A fiddle in the orchestra at| the Metropolitan to start. After that, concert master, director, com- poser, and you, Lily Lou; singing in the title role!” He smiled, and she smiled, a lit- tle wistfully, “I don’t think my chance will come that soon.” He laughed. One of his rare, hearty laughs. “But you think mine will?” She squeezed his hand. “I’m sure of it, Tony.” The staunch vessel made her way gallantly, surely over the waves. The wind blew strongly, freshly, from the salty sea. : He began to sing softly, beating time gently with his pencil. ... “You like it? The aria... . It is from my opera, Balkis. And Lily Lou, one day you will sing it... yes—no one else. Listen again...” “Pardon, Madame,” the steward said. His white coat wag like aj i¢ signal in the darkness near the boat rail. “The baby, he sings, too. He wants that his mama—” Lily Lou sprang to her feet. “Oh! I forgot—” She ran into the cabin, clattered down the stairs, down the flights and flights of stairs, to the baby. “Bubchen, darling! Was he for- gotten! The poor, precious bub- chen!
