...great advocate of The Home during the campaign, President Hoover has surprised nobody by the fewness of his appointments of women to public offices. But lately he put aside his feeling against women as officeholders long enough to listen to arguments by his Secretary of the Treasury Andrew William Mellon in behalf of Miss Annabel Matthews of Gainesville, Ga. The arguments seemed so irresistible that President Hoover last week appointed Miss Matthews to the U. S. Board of Tax Appeals ($10,000 per year), the first woman ever named to this potent buffer agency between the Treasury and the taxpayer...

Rona was making a good thing out of a stenographic agency, but left it for a temperamental writer. When he finally deserted her, she started another agency. Ida was a rawboned Middle-western farmer's daughter, a hard worker. She married a mean man. When childbirth...
...shipwrecking kind; and on shore, there is a native chief who falls in love with Miss Cooper, but he is practical rather than masterful, and when his proposition of a palm-studded island for her, and a pig for every man of the crew, is rejected, he is gentlemanly enough to withdraw. In fact, there is a generally twentieth-century atmosphere about the book that precludes the possibilities of stirring adventure. The reader acquires this contemporary angle, and asks no more from the pleasant story that it offers...
