...members, who smackingly pronounced it "very tasty." Soon scores of thirsty but temperate Drys demanded her recipe. She gave it: "Take a pound of seedless grapes chopped very fine and a quart of grape juice. Stir thoroughly and serve very cold." Other Doran recipes: Lime Fizz-"Make an orange syrup by boiling together for five minutes one half cupful each of water, sugar and thin shavings from the rind of one orange. Cool and strain. Add the juice of four limes or one-fourth cupful of bottled lime juice. Dilute with one pint of iced plain or charged water." Mint...
...parents, wangled needful endowments from graduates. After being graduated by Amherst in 1885, attending the Union Theological Seminary and Episcopal Theological School (Cambridge), he was ordained an Episcopal minister. For five years before being called to the headmastership of St. Mark's, he taught at Groton School, old-lime St. Mark's rival. Every St. Marksman knows that the football jerseys of "Grotties" are laterally striped in black and white. Should the Groton game be won, crepe is hung upon a stuffed zebra at the lower end of the St. Mark's dining hall where...
Surgeon Squibb did not live to see this new experiment. He sold his business some 25 years ago to the late Lowell M. Palmer, potent lime and cement man, who installed his son-in-law, Theodore Weicker, to run it. Later, Mr. Palmer's able son, Carleton H.

Five thousand workers fought the fly. Into long trenches fresh fruit and truck were dumped, covered over with lime and earth as a means of exterminating the pest. Florida's so-called Little People (small growers) were hard hit, lacking as they did resources for such an emergency. Congress had already appropriated $4,800,000 to control the spread of the fly in Florida, to exterminate it, i resident...
...Englishman in Africa, she flirted with her husband's friends and finally with his brother. Clive Brook does not kill himself after all because he finds that Mme. Baclanova's perhaps necessary death in the last scene was not caused by the poison he put in her lime-juice but by a snakebite. Throughout this silly, badly directed, exciting picture Mme. Baclanova depicts an unpleasant character by wearing beautiful clothes, telling love stories, singing in a dramatic soprano voice that was once justly celebrated in Moscow. Silliest shots: the hysterical colonist who complains that Africa is strangling him; Baclanova whimpering...
