Show Immune to Cold. Gouverneur Morris, the New York litterateur, said at a luncheon in Brooklyn: "American society is the most exclusive ex-clusive in the world. Useless, quite useless, for a litterateur to try and force his way into it. "I know a litterateur who, on the strength of a best sellpr, managed to get himself invited to a dinner at Mrs. Van Astorcordt's. " 'Wrell, did Mrs. Van Astorcordt's cordiality stagger you?' I asked him the next day. " 'Oh, no, not at all,' he answered. 'You see, before I took up writing, I worked in an icemaking plant.' " |
