Ferry. Spick and span in steel gray, bright brass and Sunday "whites," the Texas, her captain & crew, will be waiting for the President at Key West to ferry him in six hours to Havana. A squadron of six destroyers led by the cruiser Memphis constitute the guard of honor. Captain Joseph R. Defrees is new aboard the Texas but his crew are well used to having glorified passengers aboard. The Texas is U.

This lady who had danced a thousand times with a veil waving in her hands like a bright tenuous flag, and who had wrapped life closely about her like a brilliant shawl, one summer day tied a red scarf around her throat and stepped into her automobile. As she drove along the roads that sloped down to the sea, a warm slow wind fumbled at her scarf...
