...TIME is on the table about the home for anyone, no matter how young, to read, if he can! That baseball is played on Sundays, and that the front cover would be better given to the Royal Family (not economic Royalists) or something similar. After the lovely photo of Jean Harlow some months ago and the nude in the Art Department (of all places) a few weeks ago, and now this of Di Maggio, I feel I must tell you that at the end of my subscription in June 1938 I will renew for only one year, instead...
...Papal Legate Teodoro Lelli, Bishop of Treviso, accompanied the Lord Bishop of Ostia on a mission to the court of Louis XI of France. There the Legate was sketched by the court artist, Maître Jean Foucquet, who etched his subject's fleshy, self-assured features in silverpoint on a small piece of cream-colored paper.

Mme Toussaint soon found the hours dragging, found herself worrying about the new sleeping arrangements. The little cabin was already crowded: her daughter, almost grownup, slept in the same room...
...that prices had gone up, that the fleet was shorthanded, Mme Toussaint cast decorum to the winds, bundled her brood into the boat, the Six Little Brothers, set off to lend her efficient aid. It was late that night before the weary fishermen returned, to watch Mme Toussaint and Jean jump over the broomstick together. And as the overworked engine of the Six Little Brothers had broken down, the bride and groom never...
