...Edward Slade of the Royal Navy. She studied philosophy in several Continental schools, found nothing to inspire her until she read of the Mahatma's labor. Correspondence with him followed; in 1926 she went to India, cheerfully accepted the year's probation to which he subjected her. She slept on a splintered floor, cooked her own meagre food, spun her clothes from raw cotton. Having learned Hindu, taken a Hindu name, embraced the Hindu faith, she became tantamount to the Mahatma's private secretary, accompanied him on trips to the villages, supported his spindly frame when, though ill, he persisted...
Thousands of sharp-nosed, furry little animals slept more safely in snug pens throughout the eastern U. S. when, last week, one Alfred Findlay and one John Merritt were caught by police, who believe them the most enterprising and systematic silver fox thieves in the land.

He slept, ate and studied erratically, suffered violent headaches and worked at a dishevelled desk, but was an honor student for four years and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In addition he edited college periodicals, produced and acted in all manner of college plays, was a member of a debating team which...
...Sherby, he called her Babs. Said he, after they had been formally introduced: "I want you to be my wife, will you?" Said she: "I haven't any clothes." So she was married again, at 16, and went to live in Washington, where she became a great belle and slept late in the morning. After three months they quarreled: Peggy went to Manhattan, where she roughed it at her husband's suite in the St. Regis until he refused to pay the bill...
