An Unprintable Interview With Miss Cowl ELL, girls, you won’t have to write to me any more about that. I’m doing it now — I’m interviewing your beloved Jane Cowl for you. And, my dears, you should see the setting! Private dining room on floor A of Blackstone. Nuts and ferns and everything on a round table big enough for ten. Eight gold chairs idling against the walls. Two gold chairs side by each at the east sector of the table, and in ’em Jane and me — just Jane and me. It is dinner and she wears her pearls, and is as pretty as any lucent one of them. Yours devotedly wears nocturnal patent leathers and what he fancies goes with them — and hopes, he fondly hopes, that the pressed suit doesn’t emit an odor of recent gassing. But there is an odor — the tell-tale fume of a pipe. In the excitement I’ve declined a cigaret at the hands of the master waiter and unpocketed my plebeian smoking instrument. Now what to do with the infernal thing! I try to laugh like a man of the world, but it is very hollow. “Forgive me,” I say in a voice that mother wouldn’t know, “forgive me,” I say with arch humor, “if I appear to put my pipe on one of your gold chairs.” And I do the terrible thing.
