Achille Ambrogio Damiano Ratti (Pope Pius XI) announced last week that, in view of the Mexican crisis, he would postpone his vacation. As everyone knows, the Sanctissimus Pater, goes vacationing each year, despite his self-imposed "imprisonment," by moving out from the stuffy Vatican to his cool Casino in the Vatican Gardens. During the week Bishop Diaz of Tabasco, Mexico, displayed to newsgatherers a communication from the Papal Secretary of State, Pietró Cardinal Gasparri, conveying the displeasure of His Holiness with the Mexican Constitution and President Calles' enforcement statutes: "The Holy See condemns these laws (TIME, July...
...children of 40 ... footpads and submorons, Sir!") which was repelled and its leader, the Rev. Pudley, captured in his white skirts. Nor before Ruth and young Kendrick, within a few hours of meeting, walked in a panic summer midnight to a mad prothalamium of crickets; lay together in cool damp grass and took counsel of a Debussy moon . . .

...mourners knew that the cancerous men and women there, almost 100, were getting the devoted care of the Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of St. Rose of Lima. They could picture the white-clad sisters wiping away the fetid pus from cancerous lesions, applying cool unguents, making the patients comfortable, even injecting a merciful dose of morphine...
...United States to Europe-without Portfolio"-a curious title for a joke-smith. The braided butler of the consular drawing-room chants it through his thorax, scorching the sibilants, booming the o's. The company stares at the newcomer. Famous women turn, over ivory shoulders, a glance cool with appraisal; gentlemen in dinner shirts striped with impossible decorations raise their monocles or feel for their small arms while he shambles into the room-"Viva, l'Ambassadeur." He wears an old grey suit. A jazbo necktie adorns, but fails to hide, the golden collar-stud. His shoes, surely, have...
