...stories, enacting dramas, and making bold or furtive love to their hostess. The Dodges knew Pen Browning, jolly, rotund sculptor who was always uncomfortable because people expected him to live up to his role as the offspring of the romance of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett. They knew Lady Paget, friend of Queen Victoria, theosophist who made her own shoes and who predicted the World War and the Russian Revolution. They entertained Duse, who appeared with a genius in tow, a grim, self-assured, masculine-appearing girl who immediately began chasing her hostess all over the house and garden. Gertrude...

More of a favorite than Thomond II was the horse that beat him last year. Betters all over England and the world last week thought so well of Miss Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller that the odds against him were only 2-to-1. lowest in Grand National history.

Except for the failure of the favorite-which is almost an Aintree tradition -last week's race was run truer to form than any Grand National anyone could remember. The Hon. Dorothy Wyndham Paget, owner of Golden Miller, last year spent $200,000 for brood mares at the Newmarket sale. Two years before she had bought Golden Miller, who had brought only $500 as a yearling and had been resold four times since, for about $30,000. That her racing colors contain the same shade of blue...

...follow a ''liberal policy'' in construing the statute about lottery information. That let down the bars. Even the New York Sun forgot its hidebound caution long enough to print the lists of U. S. ticket holders in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. Last week, when Miss Paget's Golden Miller won the Grand National at Aintree, U.
