...Mary was no widow. Her husband, who had gone home to enlist as a private in Lee's Battery of Virginia Light Artillery, was fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the flower of Southern chivalry against the invading hordes of Yankee "nigger lovers." With the exception of one court-martial and two months in a Federal prison camp in 1865, little is known of Lucian Fletcher's Civil War record. His amatory progress after Appomattox, however, was crystal clear...
...case you cannot go to the "Pops" tonight, there are other opportunities on every ensuing night with music which is almost guaranteed to soothe the fevered mind. For example, there is "Pomp and Circumstance" on Friday evening, or if you are in a slightly less martial mood, the Peer Gynt Suite.

...pity vanishes. Kroysing had discovered some fellow-non-coms were selling army rations instead of distributing them to their hungry men; he had been so foolish as to write an influential uncle about it.

Pending review...
...leading man of the historic musicomedy Chu Chin Chow; of a heart attack; in Marlow, England. Chu Chin Chow opened in London in 1916, ran straight through the War, did not close until 1921. Three million people saw the show, including thousands of Allied soldiers who made it a martial institution. For a consecutive run, its record of 2,238 performances is surpassed only by the Manhattan engagement of Abie's Irish Rose (2,532 performances). Two months ago Producer Asche, who made $1,000,000 from Chu Chin Chow, went into bankruptcy, blamed high income taxes...
