...Bank in New York, Russell T. Sharp, president of Monticello College in Alton, Ill. Henry J. Wallace, vice-President of U.S. Steel. Richard T.

...briefly to pray. Her tea tray was brought in the same as everyday, except for a small bouquet of fresh flowers and a note: "With every possible good wish today and always. From Mac and Smith"-her personal maids. For the moment, the handmaidens ruled the Queen.
