...feel sorry to observe what seems a straining at an effort to be flippant, not to say smart-alecky, in referring to our good Governor as senile (TIME, Nov. 13).

This week their patented answer went on sale at Manhattan's swank Mark Cross Co. (leather goods). It was a glove which looked like a hand's pattern jig-sawed out of a board. It is made by sewing an identical back and palm to a leather ribbon edge. Loose...
