...Most Reverend Cosmo Gordon Lang, who succeeds him, is 64. He looks like George Washington; is forthright and voluble in debate. Law was his first study. He was a student in the Inner Temple. But just when he might have been admitted to the British bar he suddenly chose the cloth for the gown. His father was one of the moderators of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland. † The son preferred the more hierarchal Church of England for his career. Studies at Balliol College, Oxford (after a period at Glasgow University) had something to do with his decision...
...shape, the odor of her product. It would have been coarse, ill-shapen, irritating to the skin, offensive to the nose. Guests would have shunned the White House bathrooms. Servants would have departed in disgust and fury rather than wash dishes with thrifty, housewifely soap. Wisely, Mrs. Coolidge chose to purchase soap made of the finest oils, boiled in steam-heated, 1,000,000-lb. urns, purified of complexion-destroying acids, perfumed with flowered scents, shaped to beguile both hand...
...business in earnest. Captain Arturo Ferrarin, 32-year-old War veteran, pilot of bombers and pursuit planes, was a member of the victorious 1926 Schneider Cup team. Major Carlo P. Delprete accompanied Commander Francesco de Pinedo on his tour of the Americas in 1927.

Eighty thousand pounds-and yet by the merest chance had Martin Barnes, commercial traveler, strolled out of his shabby hotel, and past the strange old house. But Lord Ardrington, on the point of death, was contemptuous alike of charities and his rightful heir, and chose therefore to bestow the ?80,000, in notes, upon the first passerby. Martin, filling that simple requirement, walked out of his commercial existence into a congenial life of valets, and books, and motor cars, but no friends. This might soon have palled had he not become further involved with his benefactor...
