Talleyrand? This nettled only the discomfited questioner. Soon the correspondents as a group were agreeing with the President's secretaries that in diplomacy he is very adroit, revels in doing "the smart thing," and would have made a perfect Ambassador in the great days of diplomacy, a sort of Talleyrand. The master stroke delivered by Talleyrand Roosevelt last week was to have the U. S. Chargé d'Affaires inform Emperor Power of Trinity that...
Studiously English in other respects, King George nonetheless keeps a French chef, famed Henri Cedard. Never to English but occasionally to French correspondents, M. Cedard remarks upon Edward of Wales's curious lack of discrimination in matters of food and Queen Mary's downright stinginess.* Smart and suave, the royal chef knows perfectly how to give satisfaction.

When Faith Baldwin had published 28 books, including a dozen best selling romances about modern business women (The Office Wife, Week-End Marriage, Self-Made Woman, White Collar Girl), she decided that her public might like to read a family saga. Mazo de la Roche had made a phenomenal success with her Jalna books. Last year Faith Baldwin plunged into a set of serious novels tracing the development of a typical middle class family from its U. S. beginning to the present. Partly sober realism, partly...
