Into the news next blazed Mrs. Pauline Mae Clarke, hitherto a quiet competitor. Her trouble last week was with one of the men who have given her valuable assistance in the race-Mr. Harold H. Madill whom the Canadian press last week was calling "Mr. X." When Husband Clarke quit after siring only four children, Mr. Madill unselfishly stepped in to sire five more. By last week Mrs. Clarke's confidence in this second collaborator had somewhat waned, and after obtaining a court order to eject Mr. X from her house she was trying out a third...
Because Rexist Degrelle is a thorn in their flesh and because they appreciate that Premier van Zeeland stands for traditional, quiet Belgian politics and for no fancy isms, the three parties in the Belgian Cabinet coalition - Catholic, Liberal, Socialist - agreed to offer no rival candidates.

When Headmaster Gibson last year asked Tertius van Dyke to take over Gunnery while he went on a vacation, Brother-in-law van Dyke shouldered his duties ably...
...better known as Mrs. Harrison Williams, "best-dressed woman in the world." Born in Kentucky some 40 summers ago, she married first Henry J. Schlesinger of Milwaukee's iron-&-coke family, then Manhattan Banker James Irving Bush, finally and most successfully Harrison Williams, 23 years her elder, a quiet specialist in utility finance. To the adornment of their three houses-on upper Fifth Avenue at Bayville, L.
