...their stay in Bognor. Nothing happens except that for two weeks they all breathe free. Their mutual affection, having survived the cooping of their poor city life, turns outward to the world at large. Mr. Stevens meets old cronies at the pub; Dick has an inspiration to become an architect; Mary does a little sparking on the sly. After their breath of fresh air they return to London, to be again submerged...
...citizen's privilege. There is just as great a distinction between a Reserve Officer's Commission and a job as Letter Carrier, Fireman, Dog Catcher, or Street Cleaner, as there is between a professor of Greek literature and the proprietor of a Greek restaurant; or as between an architect and a brick-layer.

Soon after he was allowed to submit a design for the 13-foot rose window in the Sacred Heart Dominican Church in Jersey City, N. J., and won the competition...
...best architect in New York, jovial Joseph Urban is certainly the most spectacular. A great vat-shaped Viennese, 60 years old, weighing 230 Ih. according to his secretary's latest estimate, his first triumphs were the Khedive's Palace in Cairo; the Alexander Bridge over the Neva in Leningrad; the castle of Prince Esterhazy de Galantha in Hungary. In 1912 he brought a corps of Austrian scene painters to the U. S. to design scenery for the Boston Opera House. Its failure threw him on the mercy of Florenz Ziegfeld. Since then he has done about one-third...
