...Mahatma also bade goodbye to a six-foot sun-blackened, scantily-clad girl of 30, with a shaven pate, who is general supervisor of the headquarters, and would tend his tasks during his absence. Srimati Mira Bai he calls her, but her real name is Madeleine Slade. Once a freckled blonde, she is a daughter of the late Admiral Sir Edward Slade of the Royal Navy. She studied philosophy in several Continental schools, found nothing to inspire her until she read of the Mahatma's labor.

He wears a full dress with the same elaborate nonchalance that he evidences when clad in unpressed tweeds and rumpled coat; canes are permissable on Park Avenue but are decidedly not correct in Harvard Square; he wears spats under no conditions. His hat is rumpled and decadent, giving a touch of elan to an otherwise spotless appearance. The typical specie has a fleet of luxurious motor cars, one for every mood, and a charge account at the leading night clubs in a half-dozen cosmopolitan cities...
