...force of her arguments was established the most strongly when she declared that in 1924 alone she received 87,000 letters from women of the poorer classes asking for information on birth control, which advice she was unable to impart because of the narrowness of the laws. Birth control clinics in other countries, she said, are declared public utilities; in the United States they are suppressed as public nuisances...
...lunchrooms, paddocks, wherever sportsmen gather, you see them-frayed bravos with cauliflower cars, rakish noses, thick necks, entreating eyes. They catch your glance, they wink, edge over.

Nobody should be deferred by the present disorder in China because it has no anti...
...savers who seldom if ever mind a call. I have written of Mr. Lincoln before in these columns; but whenever I have a chance to talk with him, I am reminded again of a character so filled with humorful wisdom and real charity, that I have a wish to impart something of it to others. The other day I discovered two things about this exceedingly popular novelist that I had not realized before: first, that like Robert W. Chambers, Robert Cortes Holliday, W. B. Maxwell and many other writers, he started his artistic career drawing rather than writing and then...
