Their names would scarcely have been mentioned in print at year end, had not London's blatant Daily Express been filled by a story of how the Duchess sent a doll last week to the Miners' Federation of South Wales where King Edward VIII once popularized himself, declaring "Something must be done for Wales!"

...International Art, to whose vernissage none but California's double thick social cream would be invited. One day last week the invited cream, 2,000 strong, flowed fatly to the intimate opening. They came from parties given by such art-lovers as Norma Shearer and Mrs. Randolph Huntington Miner and jostled, perspired, stared at each other instead of at the pictures. After the first day, the milk of the citizenry to the number of 30,000 saw the show's first week. In the two months the International Art exhibit is to run, the Association, now letting department...
