...unboastful Democrat, not by a man from Mars was this analysis and forecast of the November elections made last week. The speaker was none other than the arch-Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Congressman Nicholas Longworth of the First (Cincinnati) Ohio District. A political realist with an uncommon sense of election drifts, he made the above remarks in an interview to newshawks in Washington. His statement made other G. O. P. leaders wriggle and squirm with acute pain. But a few hours later Speaker Longworth atoned for his frankness, proved himself still the orthodox partisan when he broadcast...
...little flapper with her eyes wide open. Alas for peace, three young men live near by. Two of them, André and Bertrand, are brothers, childhood friends of Antoinette's. But their guest Robert, bronzed, much-traveled civil engineer, is the rock on which feminine friendship is shattered. Realist Suzon, seeing she has no chance with Robert, contents herself with tantalizingly dangerous escapades with Bertrand, light of heart and tongue.

But he titillates no libidinous itch in this little monograph of precepts. Here is a plenty of theory but no rules of thumb. Many a bewildered Babbitt might profit by one or another of these Gallic apothegms. For example: "I love you" should never sound like a call for help. . . . And don't bother to tell me that you insist on being loved for what you are. You are worth more...
...taken to France as a baby, grew up and was educated in Paris. She is unmarried, in her 30's. Unlike her younger brother Julian, who writes of the French, in French, with grim French realism, Author Anne Green has needed no translator, is no very grisly realist, has gusto, gayety, humor...
