Fifteen hands high, she holds her plump neck punctiliously arched, lifts her hoofs in a gait which is higher, slower and shorter in stride than that of a standard bred horse. She has four white stockings, a white star on her forehead and a white snip on her nose. Her black tail is cropped; on her black mane, in the show ring, are knots of red wool to accent the curve of her neck. In her stall she shows traces of the nervousness which is noticeable in all progeny of her mother...

His two sidelines are poetry and American-Indian and Chinese art. With Kiang Kang-hu he translated a Chinese anthology, Jade Mountain. He lives in Santa...

Somebody removed Chancellor Bruning's silk hat from the German Embassy just as he was about to leave for the Vatican, leaving in its place a tiny topper that balanced precariously on his domelike forehead. At the Vatican the Swiss Guards were wrongly informed of the hour of his arrival. Parti-colored men at arms were still scurrying about the courtyard of San Damaso when the German automobile drew up. Foreign Minister Curtius, who is Protestant, paid a separate visit some hours later...
