S. the story was either omitted entirely,* or condensed into a sketchy account varying in length from three lines...
...whopper-publishers sent forth The Cradle of the Deep as "autobiography" -truth, human document, veracious account of the author's first 17 years as a child of the sea aboard her father's four-masted windjammer, the Minnie A.

...opera, because she is no longer the black-eyed, hoydenish Carmen or the pale, forsaken Butterfly, there is a tendency for many to regard her as a singer of bygone days. That Farrar still sings, however, that she still pursues an active career was proved by last week's account of a season's stewardship. She has covered a 21,000-mile concert tour which began in Manhattan, went through Canadian cities, through Manhattan again to Chicago, the Pacific Coast, back through the South.
