...white-haired dame with the patrician profile and shallow-crowned velvet hat "with feather fantasy caught under the nice brim ... for the 40's or 50's or 60's" was unmistakably Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase, gracious, able editrix-in-chief of the three Vogues published in Manhattan, London, Paris.

A sharp accountant with a salesman's slant, Mr. Hopson proceeded to pull many a rabbit from his fecund hat. Though Wall Street has long ceased to be astonished at the complex securities he concocts, it whooped with appreciation when he offered an issue of "baby bonds" just as the U.
