...great man in his own environment. His is usually the shoulder that makes the wheel turn round. His is usually the conciliation which finds a basis for agreement. He is an active man, tireless, industrious, and devoted to the routine of his office--a man still young at sixty-seven, stockily built, sturdy, with more spring to his step than most men half his age, and reported by one of the most competent newspaper men in Washington to be the best poker player in either House of Congress. He is everybody's friend. His colleagues call him Charlie. His constituents...
Last spring the boxing tournament was the most popular and most successful in many years. Of the 38 men entered, 14 reached the finals, in which seven University ring champions were crowned.

S. her version of the Seven Veils. The echo spread as far as Manhattan. Perhaps the Metropolitan would relent now, let Salome into her own repertoire. She is, according to Jeritza, not a bad girl, just a little wild. But the Metropolitan board, it seems, refuses to be convinced, stays now as it has been for the past 20 years, firmly anti-Salometic...
...London Stock exchange, since the boom of seven years ago, has been as quiet as an untenanted playhouse. The rayon announcement pierced the gloomy hush like a spotlight lighting its stage for the premiere of an exciting play. The scene on the stage was an alley in the City of London, Throgmorton Street. Hustling onto this stage from every entrance came a mob of stockbrokers, those frantic and mysterious vaudevillians, shouting the abandoned gibberish of their lines...
