Your account (TIME, May 25) of Mrs. Roosevelt's party for wayward girls is revolting to any woman, but to a Southerner, unthinkable.

The 17-year cicada is the longest lived of any known insect. One or more broods appear in the eastern U. S. every year. Brood IX, which appeared on schedule last year in its usual region, has a small range-parts of West Virginia, Virginia and North...
