Still another explanation might have been Mr. Hutton's divorce last autumn from Marjorie Post Close Hutton, only daughter of General Foods' founder, the late Charles William ("Postum") Post. Mr. Hutton's personal holdings in the corporation were relatively small (62,761 shares) and he drew no salary. Mrs. Hutton owns more than 500,000 shares, each of which pays her $1.80 in dividends annually. Her dapper, stockbroking husband was rich in his own right but many of the Huttons' Sunday-supplemented goods & chattels belonged to Mrs. Hutton. Since her divorce Mrs. Hutton has re-christened...

Robert Fitzgerald's Poems are much smoother and more conventional in form. His themes are often familiar-his Boston poems include a "Charles River Nocturne," glimpses of the Common-and he writes of autumn woods and winter nights.
