U.S.A_ - John Dos Passos [150]
afterwards we went to the Brevoort it was much
nicer everybody who was anybody was there and there was Emma Goldman eating frankfurters and sauerkraut and everybody looked at Emma Goldman and at every-body else that was anybody and everybody was for peace and the coöperative commonwealth and the Russian revo-lution and we talked about red flags and barricades and suitable posts for machineguns
and we had several drinks and welsh rabbits and paid our bil and went home, and opened the door with a
latchkey and put on pajamas and went to bed and it was comfortable in bed NEWSREEL XVIII

WASHINGTON
ELEANOR STODDARD
Eleanor thought that things were very exciting that winter. She and J.W. went out a great deal together, to
-351-al the French operas and to first nights. There was a little French restaurant where they ate hors d'oeuvres way east in Fiftysixth Street. They went to see French paintings in the gal eries up Madison Avenue. J.W. began to get interested in art, and Eleanor loved going round with him because he had such a romantic manner about every-thing and he used to tel her she was his inspiration and that he always got good ideas when he'd been talking to her. They often talked about how sil y people were who said that a man and a woman couldn't have a platonic friendship. They wrote each other little notes in French every day. Eleanor often thought it was a shame J.W. had such a stupid wife who was an invalid too, but she thought that the children were lovely and it was nice that they both had lovely blue eyes like their father.
She had an office now al by herself and had two girls working with her to learn the business and had quite a lot of work to do. The office was in the first block above Madison Square on Madison Avenue and she just had her own name on it. Eveline Hutchins didn't have anything to do with it any more as Dr. Hutchins had retired and the Hutchinses had al moved out to Santa Fe. Eveline sent her an occasional box of Indian curios or pottery and the watercolors the Indian children did in the schools, and Eleanor found they sold very wel . In the afternoon she'd ride downtown in a taxi and look up at the Metropolitan Life tower and the Flatiron Building and the lights against the steely Manhattan sky and think of crystals and artificial flowers and gilt patterns on indigo and claret-colored brocade. The maid would have tea ready for her and often there would be friends waiting for her, young architects or painters. There'd always be flowers, cal a lilies with the texture of icecream or a bowl of freesias. She'd talk a while and before slipping off to dress for dinner. When J.W. phoned that he couldn't come she'd feel very bad.
