...level of the waters dropped a little in the dry weather, the Brule's inhabitants grew hungrier and hungrier. There came an evening when the President canoed home to Cedar Island Lodge with no less than 26 trout. This was one more than Wisconsin's legal limit but Wisconsin took no action. From trout-fishing, the President, one evening, turned to "plugging" for black bass. Guide John Laroque piloted him over the glassy sunset surface of Island Lake, 20 miles from the Lodge. Mrs. Coolidge and the secret-service men watched and applauded. The President caught ten. Another...

George White's Scandals. Producer White has often been regarded as a reckless exponent of exposure, his entertainments as lowly though attractive limboes. As he grows older, Producer White grows cautious. The thigh is his limit now and the Scandals,* though not wholly civilized, are this year less natural and rugged in their charms, more universal in appeal. What is tuneful is combined with what is funny, what is stimulating is added to what is ennobling, though it must be remarked, in Producer White's favor, that he tried hard to control his appetite for the esthetic...
