A woman whose legs, hips, j ankles, the lines of her face are < pleasant to - the sight Her < ' words are - believable' to the j Ksouhd. She is a fuzzy piece -of i fluff gratifying to the touch. The delicate, delightful, flower-like , % ' fPagrance of her is enchanting, Ths ta*te of her lips is the nec jr~- tar which can make every man Kfe-> god." .. : \ Ellington grows even more ly rical when he comes to describ- ( P '' ing Lena Home as one of the most exciting women? he , -v known. "Lena is beauty and . the ItV, beast, because she is the good in us all and the animal in us W.''. all," sings Ellington. "And her beauty?inside and out?makes the beast she represents?physL cal warmth?beautiful. Lena is LV ~ several women, a 11 exciting.

There is , The Lena1 who can sechxe the mind, who can advertise to -the E world that her people can be P beautiful, inside and out^ She L really is the combination of all . the mysterious things which make up excitement in a woman." ! Mrs. Roosevelt is just as exciting but for entirely different reasons, says the Duke. "She is i exciting because she is so gentle. 8L : You can read her gentleness In very cJear-cut. : noble word of P* her speech, in every uncompll^ oated, sifnple line of her writ . ing. She is exciting not only here^' cause she speaks of what vio-_ TenciTih Cicero means to coolies in China or what bombings in Florida tell the natives of Formosa, but because of HOW' she r apeaks it.
