Oh, darling, Andrea and I met the loveliest young girl. She's a photographer named R. Kate covering dramatically romantic scenes in the avenues of Paris and is the sister of Lt. John Kirk. The dashing leutinent took us by her loft on the Boulevard Saint-Germain south of the Seine on one of our afternoons scouting uncovered drama in the company of the inspector as he played leader.
She's magnetic, really. That she shoots the perfect picture at narrow range in assured ease is just the beginning of her assuming character. And the way she wears her jeans loose round her thighs illustrates a spirit primed to cover hot stories, and even more so on balmy nights.
She's not at all a bore telling you how she really is when one asks her, but always replies she's nothing less than swell. I love her spirit full of optimism and bounce. R. Kate's the type who smells smoke and brings out marshmallows arranged on a tray to roast!
She's Paris's most famous open secret! And what with all the recent revival of French espionage that seems to have no conclusion, it was more than refreshing to find a girl who represents that oxymoron best.
Lt. John Kirk told me that he employs a small army of men to follow her when she's covering opposition scenes in quaint quarters of Paris, as he's never too certain that the ballerina flats she wears could pick her up quick enough and out of a jam. It's his secret because he suspects she'd most likely run to one in a million French lovers in the country were she to know a brigade of men dressed for war were too close behind her.
She practically looks triumphant in her objective opinions so that she seems her own institution.
A truly spectacular grand girl.
She's in search of a positively neutral destination without the possibility of a fine mess we might stumble upon, as we've become the fastest of friends and don't want to bother ourselves with stories for print, but rather talk endlessly all about us!

Her eyes are as big as moonpies and as bright as the banana flavored ones.
