WALTER 389 Fifth Avenue New York comical picture, a tiny little old lady of some eighty wiry years, wearing a big red cotton rose almost as large as her head. The old darling was in a positive tremor of joy when I introduced myself. She nervously thrust an envelope into my hand. It was addressed in a precise lavender and old lace hand, “To the Secretary of My Adored Madame Elinor Glyn — the woman who is true to her own convictions!” « I had difficulty in keeping the tears back when I read the message. It was as follows: “Dear Miss: — Here is a fifty dollar bill. It's took me fifty years to save it. Please take it and let me look for once upon the face of the most wonderful woman in the world, Elinor Glyn. I've read all her books and lived my life accordingly. I've heard how hard it is to get past her secretary so I knew I had to make a special effort. If you know ho\y much it means to me you’ll manage some way. I’ll only stay five minutes. I just want to look in her eyes and shake that wonderful hand that penned all them writin’s. “I know fifty dollars ain’t much to some folks. I’d give more if I had it and I’d keep on savin’ but I’m afeared the good Lord might take me before I get to see her — an’ I just can’t die without tellin’ her how much she’s done for me. “Please, young woman, help me to meet her, and I’ll be everlastin’ grateful. I ain’t never had the gift of gab — so I’ve brought it all in writin’. Bless you ! “Sara Meriton Gilaspedie.” XTEEDLESS to say, the little old dear got a I hearing— and without a fee of course. What’s more, she got a complete set of autographed copies of Madame’s books and made a lifelong friend. So much for Hollywood. It was simple compared to New York. Here, the technique of getting business by bribery and baits is developed to a high degree. Just lately I was approached by a furrier who wanted to sell Madame an ermine coat, j He was not so crude as to offer me a commission for my services in steering Madame into his shop. He offered me first a card entitling me to buy my dresses at a wholesale house; he next sent his friend who imports Erench chiffon stockings, to see me that I might buy my hose at an attractive discount. He inquired of me if I were married and, when I said no, asked : “Maybe you would like to meet some men, yes? They take you out to dinner and treat you oh, so nice. Do you like him rich and old maybe, or just a plain home man?” And of course he offered me a discount on a coat for myself.

One of the private class offered to do Madame’s lingerie free of charge just so she could see it and handle it and tell her friends that she washed for Madame Elinor Glyn. The hairdressers lure me with promises of free permanent waves for my own naturally curly hair if I will help them to obtain Madame’s custom. People selling shoes, hats, gowns and handbags seek Madame as a customer not only for the sale itself, but to be able to say to other customers: “This is a very smart thing! Madame Glyn bought one exactly like it from us the other day!” Every day some new proposition comes to me — a jeweler, a perfumer, a furniture dealer, a masseuse, all with the idea that if Madame Glyn would patronize them, they would be as popular as “Three Weeks.” But to all such comers my refrain is “No, No, No!” It’s a great life — and you mustn’t weaken.
