thority on cooking, was asked this question. Here was not a studied answer but just spon- taneous. thoughts, Here's something of what she said- see if you agree with her:
Of men iz the fews. Mr. Anthony Eden attracts me, perhaps because I like the "Guardsman” look about him, and have a prefer. ence for people who are sparely bazil But first of all it is his energy which appeal to me, particu larly because, in this case, his gifts are expended in ways of which I
approve.
There was a taxicab-driver in Rene Clair's film, "The Fourteenth of July." who especially attracted me, and in an entirely different field Julian Huxley comes to my thoughts. Perhaps the claim there is that he is a man of unprejudiced mind, of wile reading, and catholic interests. He is also an admirable talker with an intensely interest. ing personality, quite apart from his intellectual attainments. Simi- larly, in the scientific field. I must mention Sir William Bragg, with bis fine and sympathetic face and his power of wonderfully lucid ex- pression on any subject. He is a man who gives you the feeling that he would rather be talking to you than to anyone else in the world.
That is always flattering to wo- men, especially when they know nothing of their listener's subject.
Hugh Walpole, of course, has great charm, is a splendid conversa- tionalist and is the best of company. And lastly, an unexpected choice. but one who, to me, admizably fills the bill I refer to B. W. V. Robins, the Middlesex captain and England cricketer. He is extraordinarily
quick and alive to every critical emergeser. I ind him a pleasure to watch, both with bat and ball, and he airst-rate Seld To me his tremendous vital energy is extra- ordinarily fascinating.
I wonder if that generally is an attraction to women?
