At this | point there isn't a spot in Europe on which Andrew has not experienced | the sensation of planting his respective foot—Russia, Persia, etc., have all | been taken in. When our wandering hero leaves this time it is as general handy man for a special group, under the auspices of Harvard University— bound for the wilds of Siam. The expedition is in the nature of a biological, anthropological and other “icals” jaunt. Like all good biologists, they will keep their eyes open for the “missing link.” Re- membering that silent horror of our youthful cinema days, “The Lost World,” by Sir Conan Doyle, we picture Andrew stranded on a forgotten peak, hunted and pursued by grotesque creatures of the Mesozoic age! However, if a convenient brontosaurus is not to be found, Andrew suge gested perhaps a specimen from the Early Palaezoic age might do for a souvenir One knowing debutante within earshot of this conversation, one who is well versed in “modification and differentiation of the species,” etc., knew well that the Early Palaezoic age was before the appearance of vertebrated or spine creatures, and remarked that “she’d prefer the brontosaurus as she had already come in contact with specimens of the spineless group— often found on debutantes’ stage lines” ! ! | * k¥ % T A cocktail party last week we were astonished to run into Mr. and Mrs. Douglas MacArthur, 2d, who we thought were still representing our Foreign Service Department in the region of Vancouver, Canada. Doug MacArthur is the son of Mrs. Arthur MacArthur, and his wife is the former Laura “Wawie” Barkley, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Alben Barkley from Kentucky. While the young MacArthurs are in town, and they expect to remain from three to four months, they will stay in the Barkley home on Cleveland avenue. “Wawie" MacArthur made her debut here several years ago, after which she alternated between trying her hand as her father's secretary 2s well as taking a course in law, After having acquired her cap and gown with seeming ease, the young MacArthurs were married, almost two years ago, leaving ime mediately for Doug’s post in Vancouver. Extremely intelligent and with a degree to lend legality to her arguments, it would seem that the piccadilos of wedded life will be short lived in their household, * ox x hdR. AND MRS.
