CLEVELAND AMORY RECORDS LIVELY
TALK WITH MISS SEARS IN “VOGUE”
“If there are two words I can’t
stand, it’s resting and tired.”
Thus, at a vigorous 82, speaks
Miss Eleonora Sears in a most
entertaining interview with
Cleveland Amory, appearing in
the February 15 issue of Vogue
magazine, which he has entitled
“Bostonian Unique—Miss Sears.”
Amory, well-known author of
“The Proper Bostonians,” “The
Last Resorts,” and “Who Killed
Society,” was a speaker last sea
son at the Pinehurst Forum.
In his story on Miss Sears,
illustrated with an excellent
photograph of the lady who
makes her winter home in Sou
thern Pines, the author has wisely
given his interviewee her head
with the result that her lively
opinions on every subject from
servants and the younger gener
ation to FDR and the Kennedy
family, given verbatim, slice to
the bone of the subject, present
ing the reader with the authentic
flavor of the character of this
sporting “grand dame.”
The great-great-great grand
daughter of Thomas Jefferson,
Miss Sears is most defiantly not
of Democratic persuasion.
It is well known here that she
is an enthusiastic horsewoman—
though perhaps not so well
known that she was the first wo
man to ride astride, first to play
polo, first to drive a racing car
and a racing plane. She was also,
in her day, a tennis player and
golfer to be reckoned with and
is still greatly in favor of cross
country walks.
This truly delightful article has
a worthy subject, and the reader
who isn’t already acquainted with
Miss Sears certainly wants to be
after reading about “America’s
Sportswoman No. 1.”
