The typist in modern folklore is often given a melancholy identity, like the typist in T.S. Eliot's Waste Land, who takes her lover as wearily as she lights her stove. On a happier side, Rose Fritz, the national speed-typing champion from 1906 to 1909, never lost to a man, and Stella Willins, the 1926 world's amateur champion, once typed 264 words in one minute, repeating a memorized sentence.

Fairfield Porter might well go down in history as the preppy painter par excellence. It is a wealthy and confident artist who stands next to his wood-burning stove in his chinos, blue button-down Oxford and knit tie (his work clothes) in the Self-Portrait of 1968. Then there are picnics on the golf course in Lunch Under the Elm Tree, charming portraits of perfectly attired little girls (his daughters), and a relaxing backyard clay court match in dress whites in The Tennis Game of 1972.
