...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.

S. ticket holders in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. Last week, when Miss Paget's Golden Miller won the Grand National at Aintree, U. S. newspaper readers once more enjoyed in full the vicarious pleasure of seeing someone else win a lot of money. In Woodside. L. I., lived the biggest U. S. winner-Mrs. William Meringer, whose ticket on Golden Miller...
