Blazing the way toward a new style was Mrs. Randolph Burgess, wife of the Under Secretary of the Treasury: in place of a corsage, she sported a miniature display of the medals that...
Right & Wong. The Chinese know in advance who will be elected-Mr. Wong, who has everyone in his deep silk Shantung pocket.

The celebration's chief speaker, Kashihara's Mayor Saburo Yoshikawa, 41, who has exchanged his Japanese Imperial General Staff major's uniform for white gloves and morning coat, was in excellent form.
