When scrutinized, Evangelist McPherson's account seemed not to jibe with the discovery of a one-piece bathing suit identified as hers in her automobile, shortly after she disappeared. She made no mention of having been hastily divested of that garment in order that the kidnappers might spirit it into her car before driving off with her to Mexico. Moreover, Evangelist McPherson was not markedly sunburned, last week, though she described vividly her sufferings while crossing burning sands. Speaking from her pulpit at Angelus Temple, she compared her escape to that of Daniel from the lions...
When a celebrated painter dies, the newspaper obituaries-necessarily circumspect-seldom make mention of that painter's relatives or relationships. The first are apt to be unimportant; the latter, bizarre. But when Mary Cassatt died last week in Paris, notices were full of the careers of the other Philadelphia Cassatts-of her brothers, the late Alexander J., one-time President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, of J.

Family, nation, and the land of his adventure, not to mention the ghosts of terror and the voices of romance, awake to settle the disposition of his dust. The whole matter is trivial, but for those who are inclined to be dreamy and sentimental--which includes the whole world for moments at a time this fame and fortune of a braggard, which transcends our centuries, has a glory and scope fraught with opportunity for golden musing. Idle it is, but pleasant...
...mention of her is made in the "authorized" Life of Benito Mussolini, though several of his early mistresses are dwelt upon. The young Mussolini-hodcarrier, schoolmaster, editor-yet burned with an ardor which singed many a maid and dame ere ever he set the world on fire...
