...marriage of Spanish Alfonso XIII's third son Juan, heir-pretender to the Throne, in St. Mary's Basilica to his brunette Italian cousin, Princess Marie-Mercedes of Bourbon-Sicily who sobbed convulsively with streaming eyes during the ceremony. Sympathetic witnesses were that unhappy couple, sad Belgian Princess Marie-Jose and her gay Crown Prince Umberto of Italy. Once dashing Umberto was the hope of antiFascists, was said to have challenged Il Duce to a duel, never gave the stiff-armed, flat-palmed Fascist salute, saluting Army style instead. In the present crisis. Italy's Crown Prince...
Lindsay's story is a sad one. Born of deeply religious parents in 1879, Lindsay showed a precocious gift for words, for sensitive, original observation.

This is a matter of pride to Kappa Sigma, the fraternity Carmichael joined soon after he entered the University of Indian in 1920. There, in the famous Indiana Book Nook, Hoagy used to make his classmates weep as he played the original Old Rocking Chair, so sad a composition that his publishers made him tone...
...sad victims of fate perhaps the saddest is the upperclassman who has failed to gain admittance to a house. Refused entrance at the very gates of heaven he is forced to wander alone and unwanted through eternity. Even more of a misfit than the long-forgotten commuters, his presence is hardly recognized by the university which he alleges to be his alma mater...
