...cause. This autumn the organization faces its first big test, for which the Roslyn meeting, last week, was a prelude. There are 435 Representatives, 33 Senators, one President and one Vice President to be campaigned for or against. It takes money to campaign, as Mrs. Sabin's Wet sisterhood well knows. National headquarters of W. O. N. P. R. seldom has more than a three-month supply of it on hand, but the group is happily supplied with rich husbands. If a Democratic Wet majority is returned to Congress and Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the White House...

Beauteous, of classic mold, she is the first U. S. addition to the Mahatma's platonic harem. She speaks Indo-Aryan and other Oriental languages, recently made a novel of her own eventful life. Her father was the late George Cram ("Jig") Cook...
...Emilie Thorn Post, relict of Tycoon Edward C. Post. Last May she gave her highwalled villa at Newport, R. I. to the Carmelite Sisterhood for a nunnery, became a novice therein (TIME, May 26). Because nuns must be poor, she last week yielded to the Museum her husband's collection of rare paintings, drawings, miniatures, objects in gold, silver, marble, bronze...
