While shocked or gleeful Britons were pondering these surely memorable words, good Squire Baldwin made further philosophic utterance, last week, at the 150th anniversary services in "The Little Church on City Road," famed London nucleus of some 106,000 Methodist churches which now dot the Globe...
Sister Annunziata, a d'Orobelli without beauty or dot, had long since been hidden in a convent where she devoted her life to the adoration of Saint Francis and the service of the poor. It was in laying out the ravishing body of poor Miss Annie Spragg that she beheld upon it the miracle of the Stigmata.

Finally they find a drab little apartment where Dot busies herself with pink ruffled curtains, neat drawers of kitchen utensils, and (rather than an abortion) "keeping her baby," to the raucous tune of "something good on the radio"-the delirious Democratic Convention of 1924. Follow the usual pangs and pains...
