Next comes--oh, yes; oh, yes--a Christmas story. After two pages, in which the old millionaire bachelor demonstrates in many successive speeches that he does not appreciate Christmas, he leaves the club and starts for home in his "perfectly appointed car." Presently he learns from his chauffeur that they have knocked down a child--"a wisp of a girl, poorly clad, whose pinched face spoke the lack of food." From this point on the old millionaire buys Christmas presents until along toward the end, when we hear of "the star which they saw in the East"; and catch from...

Something radical must be done because it is impossible to have a dance in a place which has acquired the gentle aroma of a Holt's Cafeteria...
...United states in that it happens once in every man's undergraduate days. It is not quite so important, but it is often as interesting, and frequently more amusing. Today four candidates are so sure that they are to be people's choice that they have left off old-time political methods and placed the matter in the hands of that mysterious figure, the Common People. There has been no bitterness in this campaign; it has been a question of impressing upon the public how small a chance the other three opponents had of walking into the City Hall...
