he has come on to New York and discussed with Lee the proba bility of his establishing his business here. But Lee Wiley is even more afraid now. She has tasted the thrills of recognition and nothing now is going to interfere with her plans. She says, "I love my work.

She has written several compositions among which are "South of My Soul," "Any Time, Any Day, Anywhere" and "My Indian Love Song" which Miss Wiley dedicated to the Campfire Girls. The day I visited Miss Wiley her 'phone rang continuously. My, how it rang! Did she run to the 'phone to answer it? I should say not.
