...like your reporters!" said Miss West, who had just received a flock of them at the Waldorf. I reminded her that she hadn't yet seen their interviews. We had now reached Central Park West. The park surprised her. She wanted to know if she could ride in it. We assured her on this point, whereupon she assured us that the air of New York City was exceedingly intoxicating, that she was quite happy and that she was prepared to enjoy herself thoroughly in America...
Statistics are sometimes inconclusive, but always interesting in the consideration of any problem. In a recent number of the Harvard Graduates Magazine there has appeared a flock of figures which seem to be both. They have been compiled by ex-president Thwing of Western Reserve University, now president of the United Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa, and bear upon the past records of men who have taken honors in the Harvard Law School during the last half-century.

Last week he appeared before his flock as Abraham at the age of 127, and told the story of Sarah's death and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He asked the audience to refrain from applause, and requested that no one regard it as a performance. So great a crowd did he draw that he packed his church twice over. In this connection, it may be pointed out that the modern theatre arose...
