By JANE OSBCRNE. “Lucille” was a famous little inter- viewer.

Every one who read the Morning Planet knew her—and the Planet's cir- culation was reckoned in six figures. They knew her name and they knew her breezy, clever style of writing; and they also knew what she looked like from the little photograph that al- ways appearcd at the head of the daily articles from Lucille's pen. She was pretty and sprighily, but a certain rather weary look had come into that | prettiness since the picture was tak- en, two ) The public kucw ker as Lucille—her editors knew her as Miss Do Voe Her friends Knew her but that was the funny thing wbout Lucille.

Mary was not at home but the noble- man graciously assured the little re- porter that no introduction was neces- sary, that Mary had warned him of Lucille’s “‘dreadful habit of writing uown everything that people told her,” <o he would give away no court se- crets. It was the usual beginning, .nd Lucille removed one glove, quiet- ' Iy opened her note book, and made a few jottings. “Engaging smile— typical English aristocrat—magnetic.” Atier a few minutes Lucille had enough for her “story” but still the nobleman delayed her, and Laucille was villinz to leave the atiractive for- er. Still one thing puzzied her. lLord Drandon,” she asked with perplexity, “you must have been in «rica bofore.
