...themes; and there are even paper-dolls available for those who wish to study the origins of genius. The immense mass of her correspondence is but the center of a vast collection of biographical data; every scrap of print about her that clipping bureaus could furnish--and for a dozen years her name was always copy--is carefully preserved. In view of this profusion, it is to the biographer's credit that his chronicle so seldom degenerates into a calendar...

Open Championship, in which the best poloists in the U. S. were distributed among half a dozen teams. Main chance to restore U.
