...Jersey's lanky, drawling Senator William H. Smathers honeymooned in Florida after his marriage to Mary James Foley, his absence from the Senate was explained by sprightly, pink-&-grey whiskered Senator James Hamilton Lewis: "The senior Senator from New Jersey is detained by domestic urgencies...
...characters are stencils: the shaggy, hard-cidery old grandpa; the devoted, 'disapproving old grandma; the pre-Freudian, high-neck-and-long-sleeves maiden aunt; the warm-hearted servant girl (Peggy O'Donnell).

Warm-blooded and grey-eyed, Milagritos was a lovely puzzle for Mr. Witt. At once serene and violent, free in her manner but irreproachable in her conduct, she was indolent, simple, with a streak of exuberance and humor that could be disconcerting to a prudent husband. They had been married for 15 years and, except...
