...jungle of cornstalks that towered four feet above his 5-ft. 11½-in. frame, and would tickle a 20/20 elephant eye. Beyond the corn, a new crop of tomatoes was ripening; the cattle were fattening nicely; the flower garden was a colorplate right out of Burpee's seed catalogue. For Farmer Shuman, walking the rich brown soil and caressing its bounty last weekend, God was in his heaven-even if all, as usual, was far from right with the world...
...weekend haven of peace and quiet. When he gets home from Chicago on Friday nights and dons his old clothes, Shuman goes out to look over the crops or attack the weeds that infest the vegetable garden behind the house. He grows nearly every fruit and vegetable* in the seed catalogue. Mabel, who can hardly use one-fifth of what he grows, has a surplus problem of her own.

Plucked Arm.

...Delaware, the Morgans and the Murrays from New York. Aside from such "cottages" as the $700,000 mansion that Henry Ford II built, residents support five separate clubs, including the Meadows, which boasts 30 grass tennis courts. Some of the houses and some of the courts have gone to seed, but Southampton still sets the most grueling social pace in the nation. On a good night, as many as seven cocktail parties run simultaneously, and $2,000 buffets for 100 people, usually catered by Mrs. William Randolph-Hearst's former butler, are more a rule than an exception.
