...German family opened the door, Tom was out like a flash. He got along famously with his employer, a distinguished Nobel Prizewinning author and his queer menage, fell in love with Undine, a visiting cousin from the U. S. When he let himself be seduced by the luscious secretary it cost him both his job and Undine. But the experience had been valuable; back in London he was soon forging ahead, first as secretary to a rising M. P., then as an able underling in a Government office. When the War came a weak heart kept Tom from the front...
...each truck in large green letters were the words CANINE CATERING CO. above a small green Scottie. At each stop a gauntleted, high-booted young man hopped out with a package. As he walked back to the kitchen there rose a great barking & scratching.

Before the presses that had spread the luscious face of Harvard's Cinderella over the newsprint to furnish prime fodder for the dusky sweepers of Boston's subways, had cooled, the Daily Record triumphantly announced that the next in its series of true confessions would be the glamorous love story of Norma Brighton Millen.

S. makers of rails (Carnegie Steel, Illinois Steel, Tennessee Coal, subsidiaries of U. S. Steel; Bethlehem Steel; Inland Steel: Colorado Fuel & Iron) last week decided that the apple was tempting enough to warrant swallowing half the serpent...
...divided his allegiance between the Communist Party and his best friend Jason, ex-poet, drunken, disillusioned hack-writer of sex stories. Celia, niece of Leon's landlady, cast soft but unavailing eyes at him. Leon was heart-whole till, one night at a Party meeting, he met the luscious Helen. Helen thought him cute, and encouraged him, but not seriously: she was living with a Mexican. Leon, blissfully ignorant, worshiped her from afar. In Jason's tenement lived one Hank Austin & family. Hank was a husky, ivory-headed warehouse worker; he made good wages till he was laid...
