When Anna Eleanor Roosevelt married her cousin Franklin 33 years ago, her mother-in-law gave her a 17-strand Tiffany dog-collar of pearls which made her feel "decked out beyond description." At festive functions for 25 years she wore them around her long, graceful throat. When her children began marrying, she began cutting down her collar pearls, row by row. First she gave James's bride a string of them, in 1930. Then Elliott's two brides, then Franklin Jr.'s. Last week she sent a string to John's fiancee, Anne Lindsay Clark...
This model young woman, Jane Dahlman (Smith College '35, cum laude), is the daughter of Lawyer Louis A. Dahlman of Milwaukee. Her mother was a Chicago Cudahy, daughter of Patrick, of the packing family, sister of John, who now functions as U. S. Minister to the family's native Ireland. When Miss Dahlman left two months ago to visit Uncle John in Dublin, no one suspected that "Honest Harold" Ickes would slip away to marry her.

...dank, one-room Chicago tenement, agents of the board of health last fortnight discovered a pair of starving, premature twins, a boy and a girl who did not look alike. While hospital nurses washed and fed them, health officers last week tried to get their mother, a woman of 36, two years a widow, to clarify a complex situation. She had already had twelve children. Eight of those, ranging from 18 to two years of age, were living. She could not tell whether the father of her latest pair was one Luis Ersing, 24. or one Lanzarin Timoteo, 26, both...
...because both had wives, although neither knew where his wife was. At this stage of these unusual proceedings, the publicity-wise president of Chicago's board of health, Dr. Herman Niels Bundesen, father of six, came forward. He had samples of blood drawn from the men, mother and infants to make tests for paternity. A child inherits the characteristics of his parents' bloods in much the same manner as he inherits the shape and color of their eyes. Dr. Bundesen found that either Ersing or Timoteo could be the father of the twins...
