...that lives like Bloom and his set? At present I know the inside of about five hundred homes. I have known a couple of thousand more scattered up and down the social gamut. I believe it is fair to say that about two in a hundred are somewhat like that of Bloom and the others. Perhaps it would be better to say that the Blooms are an exaggerated example of a couple of homes in a hundred...
...Wilbur C. Cross of Connecticut. I may be mistaken, but that highly-touted bit of oratory, written by one who has been called in enlightened public servant and uttered before presumptive students, had all the carmarks of political device.

She does not believe that running the gamut of human experience is necessary to writing "acceptably." Born in New Hampshire (1904), she has lived most of her life in South Berwick, Me. After four years at Bates College she married another Bates alumnus, Herbert A. Carroll and went to Fall River, Mass. where her husband...
