When Pearl, the eldest girl, was nine, Hugh was knocked down by an automobile, while he was jacking up a rail to replace a rotten cross-tie, and run over and killed. The company sent his body home that evening, when the rest of the workers got off at five o'clock, and Cora did not know what to do. After she had put the children' to bed, she went out and walked down the street until she met a policeman. She told him what had happened to Hugh, and he said he would have the body taken away early...
...last week the busiest thoroughfare in Washington was a small private corridor leading from a White House side door to the President's office.

She arrives with a party of touring schoolchildren, runs upstairs to hide when the teacher calls the roll. From there on, her career with her musician (Hugh Sinclair) is a series of crises separated only by stretches in which Gemma is trying to straighten out the romance between the musician's more responsible brother and the girl whose parents she met in the palace. She quarrels bitterly with her lover on a hotel terrace...
...sins, Michael Fessier is the latest exponent. Last week his first novel, Fully Dressed and in His Right Mind tried to show skeptical readers that a hard-boiled manner could make even a fairytale come true. The result was more like a parody than a parable-as if General Hugh Johnson had written his code version of one of the rayon-gossamer fables of Oscar Wilde. But readers who were stunned into shocked attention by The Postman Always Rings Twice (TIME, Feb. 19, 1934) may fall under the spell of Author Fessier's glittering...
