...children (as the only honest man in the town said) is something. Nor was he completely without a certain sense of the fitness of things. No doubt he owes much to the fact that his earliest reading had been in the classics, Zane Gray, Jane Austin and Octavus Roy Cohen. But the significant fact remains, gentlemen, that no romantic writer of his ilk could have existed west of Worcester without feeling the subtle and pervading influence of the fin desiecle spirit on his whiskey sours.

...William O. Thompson, bald Bismarckian lately retired president of Ohio State University. When Dr. Macartney tried to reconcile Dr. McAfee's alleged tolerance with Dr. McAfee's own declaration that "there is room in the church for all but the extreme Modernists," the Liberal nominator, Rev.

Nobody could see the jockey's colors. Was this one of the unknowns - Light Carbine, Roy crofter? They came around the last corner into the homestretch; the strange horse wore E. R. Bradley's silks - he was Bagen-baggage, running-mate of Bubbling Over. Mr. W. R. Coe looked out, ashen-faced, from his box; Pompey had failed, there was no doubt...

To which the tall, lithe and lethal Armenian snorted over his Veuve Cliquot, or wasn't it Veuve Cliquot?--one never knows, does one as the birds on the ledges above the tower of St. Anne Who Was Awfully Good To Goodlooking Women have often chirped into the air of Mayfair on a bright and glimmerful day of sunshine and the sheene of nicest stockings on not the nicest ladies...
