PI-IOTOGRAPI-IER GETS FIRST PICTURE OF MISS NANCY DAVIS IN TWENTY YEARS To ,lohn jones, staff photographer, goes the distinction, and a fat bonus, for having snapped the first picture in twenty years of that famed recluse of science, Miss Nancy Davis. This is Mr. jones' personal story. 'KWell, I had an inside tip-I go steady with Miss Davis, coolcfs grand-daughter -that Miss Davis was all set to malce one of her rare trips down town this morning. She wanted to see Tyrone I3ower's son, who is appearing at the Chicago. So I I went down to cover the Loop . . . Sure, it was a cinch to spot her. She came wallcing down State Street, jabbing with her umbrella everybody that got in her wayi She certainly stood out from the crowd in that old-fashioned grey suit she always wears. You could tell right away she wasn't the feminine type of woman and that clothes meant nothing to her. UAnyways, I tooI4 one gander at her, and said, KThere's my manl' I pulled out my shutter and got a beauty ofa picture just as she Iool4ed up and saw me. Boy, the expression she hadlu From a special dispatch it has just been learned that Miss Davis was considering leaving the United States and going to England Hwhere she would not be subjected to such outragesf' I-Iowever, the faculty and students of Chicago University have signed a petition, trying to persuade her against such a mistake. They are eager that she should first announce to the world her manufacturing of the ninety-fourth atom. Miss Davis, although she made it ten years ago, has refused to tell the public for fear she would be given the Nobel Prize and have to submit to being photograph- ed in her laboratory. Miss Davis has never married. When Albert Einstein's son proposed to her by a series of ingenious formulas, commonly used only in the application of higher mathematics, she promptly sent him an autographed copy of her bool4, The Atom Has no Love Life. MAROUISE D'ARCY GUEST OF HONOR AT ROUND OF RIVIERA PARTIES Marquise d'Arcy, the former Catherine f'landley of Chicago, has been dazzling international society on the French Riviera during the last few weelqs. In Paris, the French government dedicated a monument to the Marquis for services rendered to his country. Marquis d,Arcy, you may recall, died two years ago at Nice under mysterious circumstances which have never been satisfactorily explained. The Marquise, a well-lcnown figure in Continental Society, has since been rumored engaged to Count Carlo, the armaments Czar, and also to the Earl of Winchester, but she has appeared at each of the various parties given here in her honor with a different escort. Teasing the gossips, eh, Marquise? At the Deauville Casino last night, she was hostess to a large party including several old American friends. l'ler entrance was sensational, for she wore the magnificent collection of rubies given to her by the Rajah of Nahdah, which everyone has been hoping to see. When the season here is over, Marquise d'Arcy is planning a London holiday- just in time for the brilliant court affairs scheduled. Afterwards, she will come to the United States, she says, and may even visit Chicago for a few days and see old friends. 63
