Purring from the garage comes either Mr. Kellogg's own Pierce Arrow or the Secretary of State's Packard. The small man who steps briskly in always carries a cane, and always wears a dark suit...

...fact, it exists in the fourth dimension for it washe who translated Ouspensky's Tertium Organum and wrote, among other works, Four Dimensional Vistas. When Einstein came to the U. S., Bragdon was one of the first named as belonging to that hypothetical "ten" who understood the master's theory of relativity. Especially was Claude Bragdon interested in mathematical metaphysics as applied to esthetics, for by profession he is an architect.
