...graduated from Harvard two years after him (1891). He lunched with President Abbott Lawrence Lowell at a private table in the "yard." Following the precedent established when he recently arrived on the Mauretania (TIME, June 17) he made no objections to newsphotographers. One camera caught him munching a bun. Banker Morgan, eschewing academic robes or class reunion costume, wore a black cutaway, grey trousers, panama hat. He left early to board his huge black yacht, the Corsair, to go and inspect his new 343-foot yacht, abuilding at Bath, Maine...
...longed wistfully for school or a tutor, and beautiful Blanca, a jealous little snob who recognized cruelly last year's Callot model, this year's Chanel. The rest were the "steps" (stepchildren) - Zinnie, orange-haired little devil with a fiery temperament and exaggerated acquisitive instinct; Beechy and Bun, Italian brother and sister, the one with a tendency toward acrobatics, the other toward hysterics...
...parents there were almost as many as children: The Wheaters sponsored Judy, the twins, and after divorce and remarriage, Chipstone, badge of truce.

The Rangers were playing all their games away from home. In the second game their goalie's eye was cut open and Lester Patrick, manager and coach, a star defense man 20 years ago, put on the pads...

They were cut up and gashed-Johnson with the lobe of his nose torn through by a skate-point, Bun Cook with a charley-horse, Frank Boucher with a stitch over his eye. They were tired also from the strain of playing before the hostile and unsportsmanlike crowd in Boston which threw garbage and bottles on the ice, hit the referee in the head with bread soaked in near-beer...
