Miss Ertz will send people off to sleep (but not before they firmly decide to go) with a sense of emotional security and superiority. She is a knowing lady and very cool. Scarcely anyone can handle emotional characters with her legerity and yet not be trifling. Two of her lovely ladies, for example, tour France with a charming philanderer. They find him out in time to save their friendship and in a manner that saves their self-respect. Yet just before the climax, tragedy impends. In another story, the mother of a grown dolt launches him on a literary career...
...view at Doll and Richard, 71 Newbury Street, Boston, is, however, no ordinary exhibition. Perhaps the first thing that strikes one on seeing it, is the blazingly daring use of brilliant color, that varies from the brightest crimson in the "Mountain Ash in the Great Gulf," to the cool greens and lavenders of some of the other pictures...

Or, for a little more, you can get a cruiser from the American Car and Foundry Co., a cruiser as neat as a destroyer, with a cool wind always blowing on its deck and a neat shaving of water peeling away from its bow. Perhaps it is a 35-foot cruiser you want, or a 68-foot cruiser with twin screws. It all depends. The 68-foot cruisers have two cabins, an outside cabin with an awning...
