...where Fate had placed him. Next day Viscountess Astor elaborately demonstrated what a lady she is by arriving early, taking her favorite seat, and then as Old George came in, rising with a sneer "to give the gentleman my seat." ¶ Observed with further distaste efforts by Scottish Laborite Jock McGovern to make his stubborn point that members of the Royal Family, considering the size of their private incomes, are paid too much. If a worker is shown by the so-called "means test" to have more than an absolute minimum of income he cannot draw dole payments from...
...crowd were Governors Lehman of New York, Hoffman of New Jersey, Earle of Pennsylvania, Cross of Connecticut. Fitzgerald of Michigan, Brann of Maine. There were One-Eye Connelly, Theodore Roosevelt. Ricardo Cortez, J. Edgar Hoover, Grade Allen, Warden Lawes, Paul Whiteman, Jock Whitney, Sally Rand.

Two days later, Aurora nosed out the Hurricanes 11-to-10, for a place in the final against Greentree. Greentree, Jock Whitney's team, has never won the Open but this year, ahead of Whitney at Back, are Pete Bostwick, Gerald Balding and Tommy Hitchcock. They got into the final by beating Templeton, champions last year and warm favorites to retain their title, 10-to-9, at Meadow Brook when...
...Vanderbilt Whitney, eleven years older and a good deal wiser than the young man of 24 who first paddled and portaged to Flin Flon.
