...world growing yearly more democratic, on the threshold of a great naval disarmament conference, new editions of the intransigeant annuals of blue bloods and battleships came last week from their respective publishers: the squat red Almanach de Gotha and long blue Jane's Fighting Ships. In recent years, editing the 167-year-old Almanach de Gotha, "genealogical, diplomatic and statistical annual," has been no mean task. Bound by tradition to list only the members of regal, princely and ducal families, the genteel editors have been obliged by a shortage of European aristocracy to fill their sedate pages with such...
Unlike the Almanach de Gotha's authors, who maintain a ponderous delitescence, are the British editors of Jane's Fighting Ships. They preface their pages of photographs, statistics and "recognition silhouettes" of the world's warships with a brief foreword reviewing the year's progress in warship building, the outlook for the year to come.

Recently Sculptor de Creeft, now middle-aged though vigorous, arrived in the U. S. He brought with him a large collection of his sculptures which were last week exhibited in Manhattan. The picador, the ostrich, La Femme-Chatte, were absent; Sculptor de Creeft no longer seeks to shock. Instead, he exhibited his taille directe with rosy granite, and black onyx shaped for shape rather than excitement -gigantic heads, writhing nudes, an orchid of beaten lead. He wants to be respectable. He has married his onetime pupil, Alice Carr of Seattle. He wants commissions, he hopes to sell, make money...
