...phane and Onésime Sabatier, a pair of broad-boned, high-cheeked young Huguenots, wanted respectively to be prosperous merchant and artist. Both started well, as Onésime eloped with his rich cousin, Cécile Renouvier, and Stéphane got Cécile's paunchy, grandiose father to back a Marseille importing firm for him. The brothers' ambitions were reversed when his wife's money gradually converted Onésime into a comfortable bourgeois and Stéphane, after being ruined in business by bulbous-eyed Solomon Lévy-Ruhlmann, turned...
Last week Ontario's Provincial Secretary Harry C. Nixon wrote a letter to Oliva Dionne, father of Annette, Cécile, Emilie, Marie, Yvonne and several other less famous children, inviting him to bring the quintuplets to Toronto on May 22 to see the King and Queen.

Last week, however, buxom and expensively dressed Undersecretary for National Education Cécile Léon Brunschvicg; drawn-faced and thrifty Undersecretary for Scientific Research Iréne Curie-Joliot; and sweetly garrulous Undersecretary for Child Welfare Suzanne Lacore, decided unanimously to set the precedent that a French Cabinet female sits without...
...ferment the three good & great women had opportunity last week to do little more than assure reporters of their triple determination to draft and urge the enactment of specific laws for the benefit of French education, science and children. A heavy cross for Undersecretary for National Education Cécile Brunschvicg to bear is the fact that her immediate superior, Minister of National Education Jean Zay, is a most arrant Radical Socialist, author of perhaps the most defamatory poem ever written about a national flag, the red-white-&-blue French tricolor. It appears impossible for Mme Brunschvicg to keep French...
