Once notorious as "the Scarlet Lady of Wall Street," the Erie Railroad, as everyone knows, has long since reformed and led a most exemplary life. So exemplary, indeed, that some years ago those two most respectable Clevelanders, the Brothers Van Sweringen, took the Erie unto themselves in lawful wedlock. Now the brothers are taking their bride to Cleveland. Last week the first special trainload of Erie employes and families chuffed out of New York bound for the road's new headquarters in Cleveland (which will not, for the present at least, be located in the Van Sweringen...
...hats and chiffon dresses. Humbler Edinburgh citizens who were not invited did not miss the garden party. Thousands of Scots perched like rooks on the bluff called Arthur's Seat, overlooking the Palace, and enjoyed the party gratis.

From the Yard Mr. Lament could not see the modern, red-brick Lament Infirmary, whose crack contagious ward is an echo of the time Mr. Lamont had scarlet fever at Exeter.* But he could see the modest basement offices of the school paper, the Exonian, where his sons, Corliss and Austin ("Egg"), spent much of their time while at Exeter. His reminiscing over, Mr. Lamont went to the new Thompson baseball cage and presided over an alumni luncheon...
Notably absent from the exhibition was the storm centre of modern architecture, the model for $250,000,000 Radio City. The designers were still tinkering with it last week. Prominently present, however, was bristle-headed, kinetic Raymond Hood's model for the scarlet-blue-&-gold Electrical Building for the Chicago World's Fair. Among Norman farmhouses for Pennsylvania tycoons, Spanish palaces for Hollywood directors, French Gothic cathedrals for Idaho Baptists, critics were more interested in Delano & Aldrich's design for the new U. S. Embassy on the Place de la Concorde, Paris...
