Aside from the stock market, Mr. Laszlo and Mr. Boulton profess an interest in the “American Girl” immortalized in @ nome too fattering way by that Italian humerist Fracarolli by that never forget- table book, “Le Ragazze Americane.” Though all of our fair daughters seem cast in the same mold, they find no trace of the Scott Fitzgerald girl; indeed they find her mo diflerent from her English counterpart with the exception of a few indigenous to New York proper. One of the exceptions attacked ome of our heroes, namely, John, during his first few hours in America at a cocktail party, insisting that he .had accosted her while “in the cups” at a certain dance three nights previous. Johnny replied politely that t'was not he, since his im- maculate spatted boot had just descended to terra firma from the Queen Mary several hours before. The lady persisted and so rudely that he turned and said, “You seem to think in denying you that I am not being gentlemanly, but my dear girl, allow me to point out to you that the only way you'll ever become a lady is by marrying my Jriend Teddy!” With that he fled, which brings us to “Teddy,” son of Sir William Boulton, M. P., and grandson of Lady Milburn, who's Jamily place is at Witham, Essez. Only last week the Corcoran Art Gallery had on exhibition 8ir Phillip Laszlo’s portrait of Crown Prince Umberto of Italy. It has been said of Sir Phillip, who executes his masterpieces with amazing rapidity, that to find a crown head or famous personage in Europe who has not sat for this popular and famous painter (knighted by the late King George V) would be & rarity. In the meantime his younger son is here to see the sights, in his own words, “escorted and welcomed daily by the minions of your press!” Peruvian Ambassador Ranking Guest at Luncheon Today T!fl!
