...Ahmet Muhtar, Turkish Ambassador (no lady); next major diplomat, Britain's Sir Ronald Lindsay (Lady Lindsay absent, ill). A second breach of precedent became evident as the diplomats toiled past. Instead of simply shaking hands like Mr. Coolidge or of saying "How do you do?" like Mr. & Mrs. Hoover, President and Mrs. Roosevelt greeted familiars by their first names, caught from aides and unerringly repeated such names as "Accioly," "Hsia," "Zaldumbide," "Garreau-Dombasle." After China's Minister and Mme Sao-ke Alfred Sze (black brocaded chiffon kimono and diamond tiara), after Siam's Minister and Princess Damras...

Unfortunately these haleyon days could not last forever. Mr. Hoover retired to become the squire of Palo Alto, and Mr. Brown awoke one morning to find himself on trial for accepting bribes. But the unkindest cut of all was when his mistress turned on him and became the chief witness for the prosecution. Poor Mr. Brown's cup is filled to overflowing. As his lawyer so feelingly put it to the jury, "Subconsciously, somewhere in his mind, Brown hopes to be a hero in the mind of the woman he loves. Love is a strange thing indeed. He is married...
...Auguste Comte; it did not care to explore the moral results of the industrial revolution. Nor does it care to discuss them now, with the result that most American undergraduates still think of Socialism as a scholastic crotchet that is first cousin to free love and atheism.
