Sole representative--except for that triumphant moment when Mr. Clive, himself, around the stage (deafening applause) of the masculine in a dramatic matriarchy, he adjusted his bat wing tie, leaned on his cane, angled his hat, was, in fact, the life of the party.

...shown by a map made by the Chamber of Commerce of the U. S., business conditions are good in southern New England, along the Mohawk Valley, along the southern edges of the Great Lakes (except of Superior), in the Minnesota and immediately contiguous grain regions, the Chesapeake Bay district, throughout the South except the Delta country, in northern Texas, along the Mexican Border (except the Texas line), coastal California from San Francisco south, in the Columbia valley and Puget Sound areas, and on the easterly side of the northern Rocky Mountains.
