Mrs. Helen Wills Moody of San Francisco is tarrying in New York for a few days before beginning her sai [chances and strokes where heretofore she had been con- tent to play cautiously. Interviewers who found her at the Grand/Central galleries yesterday saw no reason for calling her “Little Miss Poker Face.” Instead of being the reticent, shy girl they have be- come accustomed to, they discovered she would talk freely about tennis, art and her husband, Frederick Moody, the young broker. “You know,” she said, “he never plays tennis, although he is quite good at squash. But I don't play squash so there is little chance for us to have a contest in the fam He is going to take a vacation while I'm here—going sailing down the California coast. “My tennis?
