...Quincy, Mass., there was a sultry, grey sky, a wet mist falling. An elegant lady in white shoes and stockings, in a white flannel coat .and a white felt hat with a white straw brim, with white teeth shining in a broad smile, advanced through the crowd. One white arm held a sheaf of pink roses; the other white arm waved gaily. There in the yards of Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp., Grace Goodhue Coolidge?for it was she?took a full-arm swing and smashed a bottle of sparkling mineral water on a stout steel hull, crying, "I christen thee Northampton...
Dourest and glummest of all Scotch religious sects are the famed "Wee Frees" (Free Church of Scotlanders), bitter-end remnant of the larger and broader Free Church which united with Scotch Presbyterians in 1900. With 92 ministers to guide them, the "Wee Frees" dwell glumly in the mist of the wild highlands, bemoaning their sins, brooding on Hell.

...Celtic lyricism and melancholia, will easily imagine the similar lilt and dolour of Irish painting. Thus when an exhibition of contemporary Irish art opened, last week, at the Helen Hackett Galleries in Manhattan, few were surprised at the nature of the paintings.* Irishmen like Paul Henry see landscapes of mist-laden perfection and paint them so. Irishmen like famed poet-pointer AE (George William Russell) blithely romanticize the already romantic countryside. Patrick Joseph Tuohy's portraits seem both honest and clear, unusual in a day when much portraiture is either smart fawning or sincerity thwarted by theories. Irishmen...
