Only a Duke, a holder of Britain's No. 1 war decoration, the D. S. O., and a sportsman of national renown could have mustered the prestige necessary to carry on. Stamping machines were ordered. The millions of unsold tickets were over printed thus: "Cancelled - But the Duke of Atholl in vites the public to buy this specimen ticket for 10s. Solely as a memento of a commendable effort to assist British charities and upon the basis that the proceeds of sale shall be disposed of in such manner as the Duke of Atholl shall, in his absolute...
...determined woman who would never let him resign, good Mrs. Lucy Baldwin whose archaic hats are as famed as the Queen's. That her husband is, not Prime Minister* as would normally be the case with the leader of a party which holds an overwhelming majority-but the holder of a mere sinecure in the Cabinet, is to pious Mrs. Baldwin only one more proof that the ways of Divine Providence are cozily inscrutable. Last week, supremely confident that her Stanley could not fail, she sent him forth to face 1,200 delegates of the Central Conservative Council gathered...

Dorothy Benjamin Caruso (Ingram), 40, widow of Enrico Caruso; and Dr. Charles Adams Holder, 60, inhabitant of Paris; in Paris. Married. Martha Munro Ferguson. 25, daughter of Arizona's famed, comely Mrs. Isabella Greenway whose glamorous history includes ranching, cattle-raising, copper-mining, acting as bridesmaid for Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, seconding the Roosevelt nomination in Chicago; and Charles ("Chuck") Breasted...
...bring this about Fox will back-split its stock-one share of new for six shares of old. The holder of one new share will have the dubious privilege of buying five more new shares at $18.90 a share. Underwritten by Fox creditors the offering of new stock will probably be spurned by most holders. Chase will thus have to take up practically all the new stock, giving it control and in effect converting Fox debts into Fox stock...
