Henry J. Fisher, estate-owner of Greenwich, Conn., is fond of peace and quiet. One morning last week, his morning slumbers were rudely disturbed at six o'clock by the baying of a full-throated foxhound in the grounds hard by the house. Disgruntled, too angry for mere words, sleepy Henry J. Fisher did what any one else might, or might not, have done. He seized a shotgun, drew a sportsman's aim, blew the hound's life...
...Merry World. A combination revue from London and Manhattan landed loudly in the middle of a quiet week and pleased everybody. When the Shuberts finished producing The Great Temptations at the Winter Garden a few weeks back, they had left over a vast supply of brightly painted scenery, much music, several dances.

Sketches from London served most of the laughter, and there was a lot. Chorus girls from...
...Vitus Dance, the mildest, most hopeful form of chorea.

Joe philosophizes with winning rusticity, curbs wild nature with handsome ease and is quite touching about his young wife, a city manicure-girl regenerated by Nature...
Knighthood. A Catholic quietly labors for the welfare of his neighbors. The parish priest notes; the monsignor notes; the bishop notes; the archbishop notes; the Pope notes-and one day His Holiness welcomes the quiet worker into an order of Roman Catholic knighthood, symbol of his Church's esteem. Two U. S. men last week were so knighted-Banker James J. Phelan of Boston as Knight Commander of the Order of Pius IX,- and retired Industrialist Cornelius Gallagher of Manhattan as Knight of St. Gregory...
