Secretaries of State came and went, but Mr. Carr remained the faithful, almost everlasting servant of the Department of State. In 1924 he saw the seed of 1895 reach its full bloom in the Rogers Act. The diplomatic and consular services became one; at last, the U. S. consulate became something more distinguished than a passport and visa office. Thus, able men such as Mr. Kisner, trained in the consular service, can readily step up into ministerships and ambassadorships. Probably the great ambassadorships to the Court of St. James's, to France, to Germany, to Japan will always remain...
...intended to invade the field of the Phillips Brooks House and Professor Moore. The original intention was to explain that Mr. Mukerji had written a supremely beautiful book, in supremely distinguished English, on a supremely beautiful subject.

That market occupies a plaza which illustrates one of the most attractive features of Mexico, where perpetual spring prevails and beautiful flowers are in bloom throughout the year. For a peso one can make his house a perfect bower of the rarest and most magnificent blossoms, although they are without perfume. Another interesting feature of the plaza is a great number of public letter-writers, called by the odd name of 'evangelists,' sitting...
