A gossiping column notes recurring mis spelling of Miss Mele's name as she sings with Johnny Johnson's orchestra and mentions Paquita Madriguera and Andres Segovia.

The piece cites flying hours for Andrews, Peter Arno's past as a bandleader, and a claim that music burns calories with a waltz versus a swinging number.

The unnamed committeeman, already holding a local post, emerged as a national contender when he mounted a 1934 race for national chairman, challenging Henry P. Fletcher and then becoming general counsel. He soon left Washington to push the Landon boom.
