Like many another boom project, Coral Gables was an almost lifelong dream of a native Floridian. About the Century's turn a penniless, Nonconformist preacher left Cape Cod for the sake of his wife's health, setting out for Florida with his family and chattels in a horse & wagon. Near Miami he staked out a 160-acre grapefruit grove, named it Coral Gables, prospered enough to send his son George north to college. Son George Merrick wrote verse, won a short story contest, abruptly abandoned his literary career when his father died in 1912. Returning to Florida, he became obsessed...
...down on Cape Cod, are proud to have TIME notice our Chatham mural, by Mrs. Wight, but we do wish you might have done a little better by our names. Dr. Worthing is distorted to Northing; and the inimitable Heman Harding, of whom Cape Cod is passionately proud, has to be recognized as Herman. The pictures of Mrs. Harding and Miss Virginia are fine...
Orchids to Alice Stallknecht Wight for her splendid portrayal of Cape Cod life in her portrait The Last Supper [TIME, Aug. 5].

Mr. Justice Butler was golfing at Bluemont, Va. Mr. Justice Roberts was on his 700-acre farm near Kimberton, Pa. Mr. Justice Sutherland was on his 24th trip to Europe. Mr. Justice Stone loafed at his favorite island near Isle au Haut, Me. And Mr. Justice McReynolds, visiting a friend at Gloucester, Mass., gave an interview to the Beverly Times about the Constitution...
Alice Stallknecht Wight of Chatham, Mass. is an artist who knows how to get her unskilled, matter-of-fact portraits into newspaper headlines. She paints her Cape Cod neighbors into a Biblical subject, gives the mural to Chatham's First Congregational Church which was founded in 1696 by a fisherman. Three years ago she did it with Christ Preaching to the Multitude, with a beardless, sneering Portuguese fisherman for Christ (TIME, Aug. 15, 1932). Last week she made more headlines when she gave First Congregational a companion piece called The Last Supper...
