...wounded, "come out to cut up what remains." After a short peer, Romans delightedly readjusted their impressions. Her Majesty, Queen Badsha of Afghanistan, is a slender, lovely woman with ivory skin, bright dancing eyes, and a quick queenly smile. She wore, last week, a close, black Parisian fur coat, a chic cloche hat. She and her daughters had never before appeared unveiled in public. Brave, they not only laid aside their veils but rose to the occasion with knee-length skirts. "Viva! Viva!," cried gallants...
...Yourself" concerns which have invaded the Square. They invariably send many hounded students to the sheltering legal wings of the Board. One Harvard student from Switzerland, having rented a "U-Drive-It" vehicle and meandered over to Boston in it, finally parked beside the Statler and left his coat and hat in the car. When he returned he found his habiliments missing, but being unperturbed drove back to Cambridge. As he climbed out of the car he was arrested and charged with having stolen it.

Then, when the sketch finally suited him, he would coat it over with French quick-drying oil. This oil is really a lacquer which dries out itself very quickly, but does not affect the paints lying beneath it. If such a painting is subjected to rough handling or sudden changes of temperature it is more liable to develop cracks than...
...Defender is none other than Richard Dix, wearing a warm coat of California tan. An inevitably charming and good-natured outlaw, he cracks his long whip, shoots, stabs as if he were playing the role of a contemporary gangster instead of Joaquin Murrietta whose career was a trail of blood, bullets, alcohol and love for a pure sweet girl through the days of '49. There is no need to fear that Jake Hamby and his gang will be spry enough to catch and hang so gallant a jack, although they make violent efforts...
