...prime Cavedweller, for example, is Miss Mable Thorp Boardman, Secretary of the American Red Cross, whom (the saying goes) Edward of Wales once mistook for his royal mother. Another Cavedweller is Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, who drives about in a victoria, wears plumed hats, prefers foreigners, particularly Italians. A third Cavedweller is Mrs. Richard H. Townsend possessed of a Pennsylvania R. R. fortune. She has a monster Queen Anne house at Massachusetts & Florida Avenues. She bought for her daughter, Mrs. B. Sumner Welles (Senator Gerry's onetime wife) a $600,000 Russian pearl necklace...
Newspaper Genius Lord Northcliffe took him on, pitched him into the kaleidoscopic career of a special correspondent. He covered royal weddings in Spain, religious troubles and riots in France, Stomach Tax in Canada, celebrities and murders and mysteries at home. Out of his heterogeneous experience he retains an exaggerated admiration for "the clean and decent poor" (famed Backbone of England) and for "the brotherhood of working journalists, salt of the earth."

Friends of the flyer say he will certainly...
This has been done with a modesty, in a silence, which many a journalist chooses to confuse with mystery. The Brothers Behn are never interviewed, rarely photographed. Nothing less than a royal occasion persuaded Brother Sosthenes, in 1924, to pose with the nobles, the diplomats and churchmen of Spain. The occasion was, of course, the opening of the new Spanish telephone system, and royalty was present in the person of His Most Catholic Majesty, King Alphonso XIII...
...Henri Wilhelm August Deterding, K. B. E., head of Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. and Shell Transport & Trading Co., Ltd., sat at a large mahogany table and ate an Edam cheese sandwich. Around the same table some 20 potent oilmen sat, discussed petroleum and how not to produce too much of it. To Sir Henri, munching his pungent delicacy, might have come memories of the days in which he and John Davison Rockefeller would have constituted an extremely effective quorum on world oil-questions. What battles he had had with the old Standard Oil! How well he remembered the time when...
