...dollar and a half, and a rather pretentious one with wine about three dollars. There was little dressing for dinner at the hotels. In the restaurants of less degree the charge was much loss. Of course a dollar and a half was a hundred marks, which does not grow on every bush in Germany. German beer is poor on account of the shortage of cereals, but the bills of fare showed native wines at very low prices in terms of our money. The largest of the Berlin beer halls is partly closed and partly converted to other uses. Afternoon...
...body more efficiently and do more for the individual student if the number of those enjoying its advantages at a given time bears some definite relation to the number of instructors and the extent of the facilities offered? Some of the State universities began a few years ago to grow by leaps and bounds, as the saying is.

...play is full of contrasts and tragic ironies that grow with reflection. The struggles of Raimunda to protect her daughter and the honor of her family; the useless resistance of Esteban to the "envious, evil mind" that is controlling his life; the guilty love of Acacia for her stepfather, concealed until the last moment under a mask of hate; and the remorseless jealously of the dead, that finally confounds sweet-heart and enemy in one final ruin-these are the elements that, under Benavente's touch, take life and from upon the stage.
