...Coolidge was impressed with Sheppey's Island, a vast forest-covered camp on Big Tupper Lake. John V. Sheppey* of Toledo had offered his camp to the President this summer. There is a possibility that Mr. Coolidge will accept his offer in 1927, in case Irwin Kirkwood (publisher of the Kansas City Star) should dispose of White Pine Camp...
...Chicago had only its sprawling gingerbread Gothic and its Prairie Avenue. Sooty railroads, industry, and worst of all, the "black belt" began to creep up to the gingerbread creations. Society surrendered. It began an exodus to the North Side -to Lake Shore Drive, Astor Street, Sheridan Road, Lake Forest. Not so, Julius Rosenwald-he would stand by the South Side. He did not object to the Negroes; he was their friend; he had given millions for their advancement. Mr. Rosenwald is no idle dreamer. He is a profoundly respected business man (Sears, Roebuck & Co.), one of its most generous philanthropists...
...Forest Hills when Helen Wills announced her withdrawal, animation slipped away from the Woman's National; to make matters worse a pewter sky settled like a plate over the boggy courts. A glance at the draw made it seem likely that Mrs. Mallory would meet Miss Elizabeth Ryan in the finals and likely also that she would win. Against Miss Ryan, Mary K.

They began to use this somewhat hackneyed phrase for a most uncommon quality in 1921 when Mrs. Mallory beat Suzanne Lenglen in their one-set match at Forest Hills. They repeated it when, in 1923, Mrs. Mallory lost her title, after a redoubtable struggle, to Miss Wills (TIME, Aug. 27, 1923.) And they reiterated it last week when Mrs. Mallory had eliminated Helen Wills from the New York State championship at Eye. It was Helen Wills second defeat in eight days. She spent her energy...
Jiddu. About the forest-bound Castle of Eerde, at Ommen in The Netherlands, sat last week the devotees of the Order of the Star in the East (Mrs. Annie Besant's Theosophist cult). The castle had just been donated to them, to be henceforth the capitol* of their faith. About the grounds ran a miniature railway bearing food for the many hundreds who waited in arduous patience to hear a "sweet, penetrating voice" issue from the soft, brown lips of their Jiddu Krishnamurti. In such tones will their "World Teacher" speak when his spirit flitters into Jiddu...
