...recent "Crime," reference was made to "plump maidens, attired in healthy bloomers, who shriek with delight as they force their Lotharios to wallow in the mud"; these being the girls from Winsor. The writer, adding insult to injury, associated these same girls with some whom a "gentleman" could not identify as male or female. And later in this same article, the author mentions "the menace of Winsor." We think these remarks in very bad taste, especially when one considers the fact that the very girls whom the unknown author accuses of being unmaidenly are the same with whom he does...
Quite frankly, we are rapidly getting bored with those enthusiastic Freshmen who find a tasty repast for the athletic field in the young ladies from Miss Winsor's. Our Romeoetical complexes never have been satisfied by plump maidens, attired in healthy bloomers, who shriek with delight as they force their Lotharios to wallow in the mud. It is too reminiscent of the gentleman who told us the other day that he was fond of one girl when he was unable to tell whether she was male or female...

In the Opera's palmy days had he not made performances pay for themselves in addition to providing a $1,000,000 nest egg?

He sits in his bare office in Manhattan's Graybar Building and tends as strictly and shrewdly to A. & P. finances as he did when, as a plump boy of 15, he counted A. & P. money in the cashier's cage on Vesey Street. In his homely way he decided that things were going too fast in the 20s. In 1927, he put his heavy foot down and ordered A. & P. to make no leases for over one year ahead. That...
...Commissar for Heavy Industry Grigoriy Konstantinovich Ordzhonikidze, a swarthy, hot-eyed Georgian who is married to an Eskimo, and plump U. S. Woman Novelist Ursula Parrott (ExWife, Strangers May Kiss) agreed last week that Russians are growing more cleanly. The Commissar was quoted in Izvestia to the effect that clean engineers keep their machines clean. Mrs. Parrott. docking in Manhattan with tales of having bribed her way around Russia with 48 pairs of silk stockings, bubbled: "There is a growing interest in cleanliness among Russians. This is shown in their [new] habit of washing before meals. Culture...
