...smart father, is the youngest senator since Henry Clay. Not yet old enough to assume his father's leadership, he maintains the sartorial splendor of "Old Bob." On the opening day of Congress, "Young Bob" was one of the few Senators who appeared in a cutaway and spats. He is steeped in the ideas of his father after ten years' service as his private secretary. All he needs now is age and some of "Old Bob's" imaginative and oratorical rockets...

Mr. Heflin moreover decks his eloquent proportions in a great cutaway coat with a light vest of cream or buff color. In hotter weather he varies his garb by wearing a light colored Palm Beach suit of ample proportions. He has a ruddy face, which he adorns with eyeglasses that dangle by a black cord. His manner is suave and expansive...
Instantly relief overtook the people in the red room. The man in the cutaway coat began to recite a chant, while his listeners turned around and smiled at one another, signaled and whispered, some even rising from their chairs to shout aloud. They were, in person or by proxy, the 700 millionaires who had been invited to come to this drawing room (the auction booth of the Anderson Galleries, Manhattan) to bid for the first items of the collection left by the late Viscount Leverhulme, the manufacturer of Lifebuoy Soap...
