...boiled Virgin, Death came to Authoress Newman. Vanity Fair was embarrassed. Last week came another such occurrence, less embarrassing, no less unhappy. Several months ago a young aviatrix submitted a manuscript to Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis's The Country Gentleman. It was called "My Life For Aviation."

Last week Philip Stockton, president of Old Colony, admitted that his company had entered merger discussions which had been broken off-and then renewed, with no decision yet reached.
