...cartoonist's best boon to citizens weary of campaign pomposities and profundities is laughter. Than laughter, few political weapons are more damaging. Manhattan's smartchart, The New Yorker, demonstrated that sound fact this year when, just for fun, it printed two political cartoons. They proved among the most effective of the campaign. One, by slim, modest William G. Crawford, who signs himself Galbraith, gave a new twist to the young mistress-old lover theme.

...That King Edward has given jewelry worth $1,000,000 to Mrs. Simpson was asserted in the U. S. smartchart Town & Country last week with the comment: "The King is proud of her.

Swank gallery connections, smartchart plugging, the humors of art critics and socialite fads too often puff them out of line with real values. Last week for the first time since 1927 works by such debatable modernists as Amédé Modigliani, Marie Laurencin, Pablo Picasso, Jules Pascin and Maurice Utrillo were opened to the rude winter blast of a public auction in Manhattan's Rains Auction Rooms. Before a hard-boiled dealer and socialite crowd, one of Modigliani's tuberculous women...
