...collection Buttered Side Down, was her initial attempt at fiction and, if you will turn to it, you'll find that it's a good story still. She is an honest workman. She respects her craft.

The editor of The Dial was seen hobnobbing with the editor of The Saturday Rveiew, Louis Untermeyer, William Rose Benét, Floyd Dell and Louis Bromfield found themselves at the same table. Yet of all the unusual happenings of an unusual gathering, perhaps the most appealing to the sense of incongruity was the meeting (they did not actually meet) of H. L.
