Streets, lined with ancient elms that were Southampton's pride, looked like the Argonne of 1918. East Hampton, still further east, and Amagansett, were in worse case.

You see, the only real official reason for and business of the Vagabond is to spy out the several academic gems which sparkle through the dull lode of thousands of ordinary lectures each year and pass the good word along to the student public--generally enhancing the picture with a few precious baubles of his own opinion on the subject.
