...farrago of inanities of personal description such as "once strong as an ox, now 69 and bald as a turtle," etc. and "No U. S. mustache is more famed than his.

Mrs. Chiang is younger than Mrs. Hoover, and it is no disparagement to say that her own family, the great House of Soong, is more potent. Mrs. Chiang's brother is Finance Minister T. V. Soong; one of her brothers-in-law is the 75th lineal descendant of Confucius, H. H. Kung; a second was the late Dr. Sun Yatsen, sainted father of the Nationalist Party which now dominates all China. Since Mrs. Hoover's father...
