Last week the "jiggle" was a boiling, foaming wake wave, and from the Enterprise's short, rakishly tilted funnels spewed enough smoke and steam at roaring forced draft to perceptibly darken the "blue." Behind lay British East Africa and the small, busy port of Dar-Es-Saalam, where Edward of Wales had taken ship. Ahead, beyond the Red Sea, beyond the Mediterranean, beyond Europe and the Channel lay the beloved Sovereign of an Empire. Radio flashes told that pleurisy had been followed by pneumonia, complicated by Bright's disease...
...Doninelli, a Central American diva, would be likewise unsatisfactory. Grace Divine and Pearl Besuner (a tobacconist's daughter), are, by a lamentable coincidence, citizens of the same city, Cincinnati. Both have recently won fellowships in Dresden and refused them for Metropolitan premieres whose sameness must in some measure darken whatever advertising glory they might otherwise have possessed. Clara Jacobo owes her upbringing to Lawrence, Mass., a small town; she is the daughter of a humble merchant; she has already sung in choirs and with the San Carlo Company. There is no reason why she should not be well touted...

...their joint border, skim over the northern third of Lake Michigan and the northern portion of Southern Michigan, glide over the lower half of Lake Huron, sweep across Ontario, picking up Toronto at its northern edge, span the approaching tips of Lakes Erie and Ontario, cross straight over Buffalo, darken northeastern Pennsylvania and southern New York, blanket nearly all of Connecticut and much of Rhode Island and go out to sea about 9:15 with Manhattan at its southern border. New Haven at its centre and New Bedford at its north flank; then out far across the Atlantic before taking...
...cleaning has been a matter of the greatest secrecy and not infrequently a matter of disaster. The Academy hopes to make it an international study, thus protecting museums and private owners of the treasures of the past. Whereas the Louvre has been overcautious, for years allowing varnish to darken her priceless paintings, Germany and Holland have gone to the other extreme, scrubbing and revarnishing to a state of startling newborn brilliance. In the U. S., the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard has recently been concerned with this problem. Under Director Edward W. Forbes it has been carrying on a great...
