...sunk that putt, England would have won, for Roger Wethered had beaten Francis Ouimet, Robert Harris had outdriven and outthought Jesse Guilford, and E. F. Storey had taken the measure of the U. S. enfant terrible, Roland Mackenzie. But Mr. Hezlet of England did not know what his team mates were doing; even if he had known, the recognition of what depended on his putt could only have made him more careful. He was too careful as it was. The ball stopped two inches from the hole; the Walker Cup stayed...
...Paris, L'Enfant et les Sortileges, new opera by Maurice Ravel, had its first performance at the Opera Comique. Critics were doubtful. There were strange harmonies, strange instruments?a rattle, a xylophone, a whip, a nutmeg-grater, a slide flute, a lutheal.?

...curtain, yes, a curtain to the doings"--not of the questing uncle of Gherardi's novel but to that once equally devastating blade, the gay, the cavalier, the verbose Mr. Arlen. A curtain--for at last his brief hour has been strutted on the stage of public fancy. The enfant gate of suburban London, the treasure of America must bow to the inevitable "what and what and then again", retreating with "that lovely lady" and her friends to the shades of an Anglo-Armenian oblivion.
