...Helen Jacobs beat Dorothy Round and Mary Heeley, who was wearing a glove on her racket hand, 6-4. 6-2. With husky Helen Jacobs' 6-4, 6-2 singles victory over demure Miss Round-whose tennis manners suggest where she learned the game, on the lawn of her father's vicarage at Dudley, England-it gave the U. S. a lead of 3 matches to o, with four to play. Needing one more match, it looked the next day as though the U. S. team could not fail to win-until Miss Round, who took...
...marriage license for the young couple and the fateful news was at last out. The night before Elliott and Anna Dall drove in from Chicago. That afternoon he and Miss Googins, refreshed by a swim, were married by a retired Congregationalist minister (the Roosevelts are Episcopalians), on the Swiler lawn overlooking the Mississippi. The bride wore white georgette crepe. The groom, who also received a ring, wore flannel trousers, camel's hair coat.

The 50 dim figures scuttled toward them like ants toward dead beetles. The raiders' leader deployed his men, half...
Years ago Mallorca was discovered by a few Britishers who like to dress for dinner in semitropical climates. They encouraged Mallorcans to keep prices amazingly low ($1 a day for hotel room & meals). They swam staidly in the little blue bays, played tennis at the Royal Lawn Tennis Club, in El Terreno, swank suburb of medieval Palma. But in 1931 the peseta sank to a new low and a new horde overran Mallorca: U. S. hard-drinkers who wanted to live like characters in a novel by Ernest Hemingway. They set up their own bars in Mallorca's famed...
