He lives in one of the largest apartments on Park Avenue, Manhattan. Once, his charming wife expressed a fancy for square jewels; he bought for her an emerald both square and huge. Typical of him is the fact that when he first asked Mr. Hearst for the American Weekly advertising job he pulled out a fist-full of advertising contracts already signed and at a higher rate...

Some other writers who have made money with books illustrated by themselves have been Milt Gross, William Makepeace Thackeray, Hendrik Willem van Loon, Ernest Thompson Seton, Howard Pyle...
...speaker. Who does not sympathize with the President in his unwillingness to devote precious minutes to political topics and thus deprive the White House cheif of justice? It is a hazardous guess but there is a possibility that the Garbo is comparatively wan at the breakfast table that Milt Gross dispenses with his smott crecks, that Galli Curei temporarily quits singing and that Hoppe regretfully lays aside...
