...greatest lay Catholic." Probably closer to and more respected by the Vatican than any other U. S. citizen, Nicholas Brady was first in the U. S. to receive the title Ordine Supremo del Christo, a Catholic honor far more distinguished than the Laetare Medal, awarded last year to Alfred Emanuel Smith, and this year (last week) to Frederick P. Kenkel, St. Louis editor (see p. 40). The Brady donations to the Vatican were many, large, discreet.

Citizen Alfred Emanuel Smith and friends were occupying the penthouse on Palm Beach's Whitehall Hotel (home of the late Henry M. Flagler). Mornings he went to the Breakers Hotel beach to swim in the ocean. His figure in a bathing suit, his startling ability to squirt a stream of Atlantic water through his front teeth several feet into the air while he floated on his back stirred the interest of fashionable folk. Afternoons he played golf at the Everglades club with John Jacob Raskob...
