...women's singles championship, when Helen Wills Moody is playing in it, follows a set pattern. When Helen Jacobs is playing in it also, the pattern is usually symmetrical. At Wimbledon last week, on the side of the draw that contained Betty Nuthall and Mme René Mathieu, Helen Jacobs in the semi-finals met the French champion who had beaten Betty Nuthall the day before. She won her match, 7-5, 6-1. Suzanne Lenglen who had just flown over from Paris and who said she planned to play exhibition tennis this summer, watched Mrs. Moody...
Because Aiken is much favored by Eastern socialites, the school attracted many a notable daughter, fell into the familiar pattern of select schools, emulating notably Virginia's Foxcroft.

"Through his sympathy with the things created, he came into touch with the things experienced." These experiencings, reaching him first by native word-of-mouth, he gracefully transcribes in full-flavored variety. A specimen...
...sang last week in formal Town Hall. In Town Hall the programs put on by earnest young singers are fairly well standardized. They include a classical composer or two, groups of French and German songs, a final group in English. James Melton's program conformed exactly to the pattern set by the earnest, more indigent debutants who have preceded him. He sang most of it through his nose, depended on high, exaggerated pianissimi for many of his effects, gave feeble, skin-deep interpretations of well-worn songs. But his venture was noteworthy if his performance was not. A high...
