...Benjamin Harrison; her husband is Robert Lansing, who succeeded William J. Bryan as Secretary of State in the Cabinet of Woodrow Wilson. Besides her diplomatic antecedents, Mrs. Lansing is at home in such a gathering because of her mastery of both Castilian and South American Spanish, not to mention French. She is a woman of affairs, a graduate of Mt. Vernon Seminary and Smith College, a former Director of the Y. W. C. A., a member of the D. A. R. But she is hardly typical as a woman of affairs-she keeps house herself, does her own marketing...
Chicken Feed. Plays produced by John Golden must get very tired of being always called nice and clean. But there seem no other adjectives for Chicken Feed-it is just one of those nice, clean plays about married life in a small town that inevitably bring up the mention of The First Year. Only this time it's the dozenth year instead of the first.

An Anglo Saxon feels as embarrassed listening to the almost barbaric gypsy songs as if he were impersonating...
Freshman, your advisors, as you already know, are manifold. Not to mention fond parents and sophisticated friends in the Sophomore Class you have been assigned Faculty Advisors and Student Advisors, who will descend upon you like the "wolf on the fold" and whom you cannot avoid except by strategy worthy of a Focheor a Hindenburg. Finally there are the Proctors who are to hold office hours this year and of whom a wag has said that they will act not merely as counsellors and friends but as spiritual advisors as well...
