...with ' that of Pepys' as a record of its time." Only an occasional reviewer dismissed the work as "that diverting hoax." Last week the "diarist" proclaimed herself. She is Magdalen King-Hall, 19, daughter of His Britannic Majesty's onetime Admiral Commanding on the Coast of Ireland (1906-08), Sir George Fowler King-Hall, K. C. B., retired...

...next day against 21-year-old Arthur Jamieson Jr., whose work around the greens more than earned him his place in the semifinal. There Jamieson was trimmed by S. F.

From three on, he grew up on the family estate in Ireland, getting faery lore and the Gaelic. His college learning was at Dublin, Paris, Leipzig; he served an editorial apprenticeship in the U. S.
