...Brown Derby-about the same as the foregoing-a little less expensive. . . The Casa Manana nice setting with good music and food make this a good bet. Probably will be crowded as it isn't murderous in its prices. . . . The Mayfair: about the same as the others, a little noisier, and more expensive. . . Crawford House-to be avoided if possible. Slumming that isn't even fun. . . By the way, we almost forgot the two swanker of the Boston night spots, the Fox and Hounds and the newly created Zero Hereford.

S. word-poet Longfellow modeled his Hiawatha. Of this suite only The Swan of Tuonela, and another, noisier fragment called Lemminkäinen's Homecoming have been published and performed.

Their compendious, accurate, statistical books have been their well-brought-up children. As busy as ants', and no noisier, they have never mounted a soapbox nor slapped a policeman in their lives. Bernard Shaw was the wisecracking Fabian whip; the Webbs were the wheel horses. Climax to their plodding career came in 1929, when the Labor Government made Sidney Webb Lord Passfield, put him in the Cabinet as Secretary...
