Wherever there is blue water and a sheltered coast, you are likely to find "star" boats-slim little 22-footers with tall Marconi mainsails and narrow cedar hulls. Last week a galaxy of their pointed rigs sparkled in Havana Harbor, racing for two trophies which star boat skippers prize only a little less highly than the International Championship-the Cuba Cup, four feet high, biggest yachting cup in the world; and the Bacardi Cup, put up by the late rum-distilling Facundo Bacardi...
With smaller resources than his father, Adrian Iselin has the reputation among yachtsmen of being equally adroit, if a shade less bold. He has owned Victory sloops, six-and eight-metre boats and another star, made of mahogany, the Snapper which he sold when light cedar hulls were coming into fashion. With his Ace, built in 1924, he won the International Championship in 1925, the Bacardi Cup in 1927, innumerable minor trophies which, in his house at East Williston (L.

Atop each fluted column was a pair of carved bulls athwart which lay a huge cedar ceiling beam. Windows and niches broke up the long walls; painted carvings enlivened them. Here came satraps, courtiers and tributaries for homage to the curled & perfumed King of Kings. Here probably lived Esther, Queen of Xerxes whom the Old Testament calls Ahasuerus. Here came all-conquering Alexander the Great who, at the urging of one of his women, it is told...
...vital girl's interest in vague, suave, sophisticated, even brilliant young men-of whom the Vagabond once was one. But he can't tell her this-she must find this out for herself. And when it is all over, when the white twill has been laid away in the cedar chest (and the files of the Herald), when the last shoddy slippers have danced their last measure to the last strains of Ruby Newman's orchestra, when the last Harvard Freshman has sauntered off to study at last for finals, then she will see the wisdom and herself pack...
