...Hoover he "like enormously" and praised for being "a wonderful mistress of the White House." Nor were these the only compliments which Painter de Laszlo last week paid Mr. & Mrs. Hoover. He had just hurried to finish their portraits?a three quarter length study of the President, a smaller sketch, done as a surprise for her husband, of Mrs. Hoover?so that he would be able to get them into his loan exhibition of portraits, admission proceeds of which were for the Emergency Unemployment Relief Fund, at Knoedlers Galleries, Manhattan...
...first-rate product, full length, executed with all the Sargentesque splendor at his command. For $10,000 you can have a neat three quarter length affair, much on the order of the Hoover portrait which de Laszlo finished last week. For $3,000 he may consent to do a sketch, a little like the one of Mrs. Hoover, warm, sympathetic and technically graceful, but without much detail.

Last week Tatler, which had sold $250,000 worth of stock in the past five years, was enjoined by the New York County Supreme Court from selling any more. Town Topics did not even wait for such an injunction to be asked...
...laymen. The average reader cared little for the diplomatic achievements of a Disraeli, but he was most anxious to know what manner of man he might be. This desire Strachey was able to fulfill. He employed sufficient facts to block in his background and enough psychology to sketch in the personality. His first work was followed by a life of Queen Victoria and later by "Elizabeth and Essex." All were delightful to read and relatively informative...
...Tatler & American Sketch last week denied it had given a debutante a rating of "E-Z" after her father had declined to buy Tatler stock. It also denied that Tatler stock salesmen, after "selling" a new prospect, turn the information over to solicitors for pseudo press associations (TIME, Dec. 21). Investigation shows, however, that in at least one case a Town Topics salesman opened the door to a procession of other solicitors, at the end of which came the man from Tatler...
