...York's Reinhardt Galleries smelled of gardenias last week. There were a great many mink coats, and gentlemen carrying chamois gloves in their inverted bowlers. On the walls were brilliant, brittle portraits in flat, bright color of very smart people immaculately dressed, and decorative landscapes in which trees and houses were frankly drawn with ruler and compass. Bernard Boutet de Monvel was having his first New York exhibition in five years...
...Andrew Lang (1898), A. T. Murray (1919). Scholastically, Shaw's translation ("made from the Oxford text, uncritically") may not please Homeric scholiasts. "I have not pored over contested readings, variants, or spurious lines. . . . Wherever choice offered between a poor and a rich word richness had it, to raise the color."

"The Pilot," a linoleum cut by Marion Richardson, an American contemporary, is a portrayal of Christ as a helmsman...
Events of past week have given a confusing political color to the problem of the war debts. Most immediately the American government's concern in whether to grant or deny another moratorium on the payments due December 15. A denial may send sterling to a new low and further injure world trade. In justice to Great Britain, and to be on the safe side of our own interests, a moratorium would be desirable. In any case, the most important decisions lie beyond the ideas of March and outside the sphere of the single forthcoming payment...
