Miss McMath. Ginger Rogers was born in Independence, Mo. on July 16, 1911, just about the time Irene Castle was starting her U. S. career.

She did this because she was convinced that she was about to bestow something unusual on the world, and while not sure of the effects of prenatal influences, she did not wish to miss any bets.

Interested by her in art, he was aided by her to go to Europe...
...Oxford Bernard Berenson met Trivialist Logan Pearsall Smith and his sister, Mary Logan Smith Costelloe, whom he later married. In Italy he found the land and the loveliness he had been looking for. He supported himself in Florence by taking tourists through art galleries at one lira per head, in mortal terror of being knifed by one of the local guides. In 1894 Berenson published Venetian Painters of the Renaissance, the first of four compact little books each of which furnished a Baedeker guide to principal masterworks and graceful, serious essays in handily numbered paragraphs on the artists of each...
