...this point the wanderer paused a moment to muse on the passing of an old friend, a building missed by few, and now supplanted by a modern aedifice that never will quite be able to recapture the dim religious light of its antiquated predecessor. But this was no time to think longer of old Appleton Chapel. On stormy nights even the new landmark will pass out of sight in the greyness of the night, just as the older building used to do, until, in fact, its unobtrusiveness had wiped it away from the slate of remembrance...

Casey, received his training for the post as trap drummer in a vaudeville orchestra, while his newly-appointed successor, twenty-eight-year old Stanton M.

So heavily firm is his hand upon his characters that it is doubtful if critics who call his work crude will ruffle Author Revere's equanimity...
...Lake Forest home and a $557,500 mortgage on the mansion at No. 1000 Lake Shore Drive which was a wedding present from her father. Now, on sunny days, she sometimes leaves the Drake to cross the Drive and enter the garden of her closed home. She must often muse over the scenes behind the foreboding Romanesque walls of grey stone when she was Chicago's No. 1 Hostess, serving meals off gold plates, discussing her favorite subjects of art, astrology, numerology, "synthetic psychology." Mrs. McCormick is not left lonely in her adversity. Mr. Krenn is as constant...
