I Remember No One
(Continued from Page 3) "Mother unfortunately had little servant trouble as proved by the fact that she kept one cook for ten years and another one for twenty-one years. The twenty year one was named Lillie." Lillie, I decided, might be played in the movies by Louise Beavers or Hattie McDaniels except that Lillie was thin and not very amusing though she made first rate matzoh ball soup. Maybe if I had her burn the soup and the smoke would rise. . . . No, Lillie would sue me sure. I'd better stick to facts.
RUTH McKENNY wrote amusingly about her sister. And I had a sister! "My sister, Evelyn, went to Wellesley. Sometimes she attended houseparties at Yale. So far as I know she was always popular and behaved herself well. At the age of twenty, she married a well-to-do man from a very fine family. Now she lives in Minneapolis and has two
lovely children. They too will probably to to Wellesley someday, except for the boy He has his application in at Harvard . . ."
About my brother Harry. I placed a second sheet in my typewriter for the twelfth time.
"Harry was always a swell guy. He went to college but did not go in much for sports since he was not very athletic. He did not join any literary clubs either so far as I know since he was not very literary. I think that even if he had played football he would have had sense enough not to run down the field the wrong way. And as for winning the game for his alma mater in the last minute of play, well, believe me, you don't know Harry. When he graduated he went into business with my father because Father wanted him to. He married also. A girl from West Virginia. From a good family. She has made him a wonderful wife and they now have three children, all boys. None will go to Wellesley."
I shook the aspirin box. None left.
Maybe I could write about the things I'd done in my youth. Sure. Then I'd be able to get all the facts right. A lot of odd things must have happened to me.
"I went to the same college my brother went to and I joined the fraternity he was a member of. Mother said if I'd been a girl she would have sent me to Wellesley but I would not have been a member of the same sorority my Sister was since my Sister did not join a sorority. (My mother sometimes says very clever things like that.) She did not, however, go to any college. Not even Wellesley. I think she is what is known as 'a natural wit'."
SUDDENLY my tired gaze fell upon the title of a book in the case. "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay." Gee, I went to Europe when I was sixteen ! And if Emily Kimbrough and Cornelia Otis Skinner could tell about"" their experiences. . . . Yeah, Europe. I could write about that time in Monte Carlo! (Not the night club
