...think, quite right in opposing. The first two, that the Army and Harvard have no interests in common, and that Army-Harvard games are not popular, found a straight division of the house, with the CRIMSON voting "Aye", the graduates "Nay". But both stands on these questions are un-provable, and the questions themselves really extraneous. The third point is the CRIMSON's sneering tone, which is, of course, insupportable...

Instead of being a voluptuous ornament to couch and fireside, mother of many, she is a spinster, an energetic, athletic, "emancipated" woman. Half-German, Jewish, she has a mop of un-waved blonde hair, a keen, sculptured face which powder & lipstick never have touched. Born in Milan some 35 years ago, she wanted first to be a tomboy. When Italy entered the World War she hurried off to the front, did Red Cross work, behaved (for a woman) preposterously: for gallant conduct she won the Bronze Medal...
