...Duke had moved out this spring. He was annoyed by his second duchess' lack of interest in society, so unlike his first wife Consuelo Vanderbilt, who divorced him in 1920 and next year married Lieut.-Colonel Jacques Balsan (as the Duke carefully points out in his Who's Who entry). Directly after Consuelo's divorce, His Grace married cool, beautiful Bostonian Gladys Deacon. While he danced spryly at night clubs, she has stayed at home.

F. C. to add to Chicago's tunnel traffic a new and livelier commodity: steam. Chicago's freight tunnels, which most Chicagoans live and die without ever seeing, have little likeness to the passenger...
