Greatest ambition of the Woman of the Year seemed to be to drop from world publicity's most glaring spotlight to utter oblivion, the perfect 1937 exit for the Woman...
...Sweringen railroad pyramid, the Senator at first plugged the theme: how little the Cleveland bachelors owned, how much they controlled. His star witness was George Alexander Ball, whose name is a household word to millions of farmers' wives who put up their preserves in his "Ball Perfect Mason" jars.

...appropriate as they swing through the trees by means of their long arms at a remarkable speed. They are the most beautiful natural acrobats and think nothing of swinging across a forty feet clearing and catching a pigeon in mid-air on the way over. They have the most perfect sense of timing. One gibbon pet in Indo-China used to juggle precious china cups or plates in the air without ever breaking...
