...Association of Junior Leagues of America, whose 20,000 members in 114 cities of the U.S., Canada and Hawaii do charitable work socially, last week swung open its exclusive gate on the southern border of the U.S. to admit the Junior League of Mexico City. It was the first league branch in any foreign country other than Canada. But with Mexico admitted, the A.J.L.A. found itself without a definite "foreign policy...
...staging the game saves both Universities from receiving any comment that there would be a mercenary incentive behind a fourth tilt and that the "gate" prospect would decide the place of this encounter. But other factors probably entered into the consideration also. The hockey season has already gone its limit and only the professionals are still at it on the ice.

Best in Show. Champions of six classes-a Pekingese, a wire-haired fox terrier, a beagle, an English bulldog, a shepherd and an Irish setter-paraded at last.

As she ran through the gate and started diagonally across the ice in the sprint that gave her speed it was clear that she was nervous. Once she slipped, brushed the ice with her fingertips, caught her balance, smiled and flushed, and after that she was at ease. Her whirls, waltzes, glides and rockers, executed to such...
...that few Lincoln admirers will mind hearing again; some that may be new to all except Lincoln students. For instance: when Lincoln was captain of a company (which saw no fighting) in the Black Hawk War, he was once at a loss how to get his men through a gate. Said he at last: "This company is dismissed for two minutes, when it will fall in again on the other side of the gate...
