Like the advertisement-girl who was often a bridesmaid but never a bride, Vacuum Oil Co. has many times been rumored as about to ally with Standard Oil of New York, has just as many times failed to complete the alliance. Last week the merger was announced, with just one hitch. The hitch was that both companies are fragments of the old "Standard Oil Trust," and strong will be the belief that what the Supreme Court has rent asunder no man may dare put together. To argue against this, the companies will maintain, when the government brings a trial injunction...
Apron Strings. Pansy Pomeroy, lady columnist, died leaving her son a multitude of letters telling him how to conduct his life. The effect of this legacy becomes apparent when he takes a bride.

During a month of honeymooning in Paris the bride conceives a great love for her husband, whereas he gives every indication of still preferring the girl who has jilted him. They play together in Paris and continue in the suburbs of Manhattan. Hope Williams, as the distraught bride, pleads for her husband's love without avail. Then she recalls...
Most recent and spectacular of astute Prime Minister Hamaguchi's gestures toward Economy was his toning down of his son's wedding. The bride, petite Miss Aya Mizumachi, is the daughter of a rich Imperial Privy Councilor. Her family had already spent 10,000 yen ($5,000) on wedding preliminaries, were preparing to spend a total of some...
