It's| taken quite a long time to wrangle that information . . . but “Harriet” it is . “Har- riet” is that small blond bomb- shell at the Mayflower who sells | cigarettes, but who, more important than that, has also started an “Uncle’s Club” . . . At the moment this is by far the most exclusive club in town . .. Tumor has it that even “Chip” Robert is a member, that one after- noon when Mr. Robert hailed “Har- riet” and said, “Cigarettes, please,” she answered with a dainty “Thank you, Uncle ‘Chip,” a term that pleased rather | than vexed him @1""4! | . . . and pleased Harriet so that k’“'-{ } other favored | customers from then on began to be called “Uncle” 2 . ..now if you ¢ | buy a cigarette 3 from this wistful - e | charmer and she doesn't thank you with an *“uncle” youll know how you rate . . . Yesterday Ye Spectator dug into his pockets for his last fifteen | cents called “cigarettes, please,” as loud as he could . . . waited for that “uncle” . . . got his cigarettes « . . but nothing else five minutes later he heard “thank you, uncle!” zooming through the air . . . looking around, he saw a bellboy walking | away wreathed in a grin .. .“Harriet” had scored again! | #ss “Perfect” . . . that’'s what a famous painter has said about Patricia , the Czechoslovakian-American | v _who is making somthing of a sensation out at the Shoreham (this is | her last appearance before she goes to ‘ England to do a film) ... A “perfect” | girl is evidently one who has “golden | blond hair,” weighs 136 pounds (that's | heftier than most Hollywood heroines), | has a 26-inch waist, 36-inch hips; 13- | inch calf, 8-inch ankle, 124 -inch neck and is 21 years old . . . that's the gal ; you'll find, at any rate, being much admired these days over the bridge out at the Shoreham . . . and who | should be dining there the night she first made her appearance but the | Czechoslovakian Minister, Dr. Ferdi- nand Veverka. ¢ + + Priday nights the Heigh-Ho, the Carlton, the Washington Tap Room (still one of the most com- fortable of the night, and day. spots), the Habana and other haunts are getting the cream of the crop after late cinema showings . . . Friday, for instance, has come to be that night when swank customers sit in the loges at the Palace . . . when families go there en masse and then tumble into a glass of beer, etc., afterward . . . last Friday the loges were a pos e gloating place for the social register | ...way in the front was seen | Emergency Hospital's popular chief, Dr. James Mitchell, flanked on the right by Mrs. James Mitchell, who in a week is going off on an Egyptian toot; on the left by daughter Eliza, a beer on skis, and a slim, young dark-eyed beauty who was recently seen roaring down a snow hill with British Diplomat Harold Freese- Pennefather . . . and on the farther left by son “Honeybear” Mitchell, who last Friday took , p; tearful leave dof M /.@M Countess Gladys || = PN Czechenyi over & | i -/%_4‘\ Riggs Bank wick- ' et ...
