Craning from countless small balconies, Romans peered and cheered ecstatically. They cheered the Amir, peered at his consort and their daughters. So there were Afghan amazons, the kind of women who, when a soldier is 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...
Boston had the honor last week of being first to entertain Maurice Ravel, French composer, come for his first U. S. visit. She received him royally, gave him her best when she put her Symphony at his disposal, turned out then in great numbers to hear him conduct his own works in a manner almost as gratifying as their own Koussevitzky's. Manhattan heard him next and as pianist under the auspices of her pro-musica society. She rose to her feet when he came on the stage?a slight, aristocratic figure with graying hair.

For example, 90 per cent of the students at the Harvard business school are from outside the state. She does not believe, for example, that the Salvation Army should invest in tax-exempt real estate here in Massachusetts $1,000,000 given it for the relief of the poor...
...hypothetical fame as subsequently reached, the author hits upon the novel expedient of citing references from an imaginary biography of David Schuyler for her data. This has its drawbacks, inasmuch as David is represented as a young man in 1928 not to become prominent for some years to come. So the biography is thrown indefinitely into the future. It is an interesting procedure, but has obvious shortcomings...
