...mother who tried so hard to get her daughter married that she smothered the engagement with her good intentions. She told the young man that they were comfortable, and that the daughter was not used to house work. Whereupon the girl, so shamed by these activities, renounced her outing in the country, deserted the lunchbox on the table and went in for a good cry. Father finally fitted things together for the final curtain...

...Coolidge motored to Lake Attitash, 35 miles away, to attend an outing of Essex County newspapermen and politicians. A Mr. Bauer, candidate for Mayor of Lynn, was host. Governor Fuller was there. So was Senator Butler, candidate for reelection. It was a get-together meeting of Senator Butler's followers and those of the late Senator Lodge-hitherto hostile. Mr. Coolidge circulated through the crowd shaking hands, and climbed a 40-ft. wooden observation tower, issuing a warning for not too many people to follow him lest it collapse. ¶ On returning to White Court, Mr. Coolidge found Secretary...
