...stamped their feet. Again they had been done in by Condé* Nast, sleek publisher of Vogue. Especially must it have pained Vogue's glossy rival, Harper's Bazar (a Hearst product), to learn that Mr. Nast, than whose technique for commingling business with social activities nothing smoother was ever evolved, was to be the first lecturer in a course on present-day fashions in the fine arts department of New York University, a course sponsored by Manhattan society matrons including Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs. Reginald de Koven, Mrs. Murray Crane, and having...
There is a trail of a sort, or rather a choice of many trails, meandering over the low ledges, boulders, and sand of the chimney; it is strenuous climbing in places, but perfectly safe, and one finally emerges on the gentler and smoother upper crest and soon joins a better trail coming from Lone Pine, north of Owen's Lake, crossing the crest at Whitney Pass, and following just below the rim north to the reak, passable for horses when the snow is not took deep in some of the gulches. From here it was a short and easy climb...
...journeyed a more checkered road than for many seasons past. Two defeats began the season, Geneva affording Crimson followers the slight consolation that could be denied from its excellence, and Holy Cross allowing the Crimson stands at least three periods of exultation.

The ex-editor may, in short, be a sentimental idiot. But there are many such idiots, enough to have filled the CRIMSON ranks in the past; enough po doubt, to fill them...
...plate a mass of tiny points, whose size and proximity determine the value of the tone, the sharpness of the lines. This mass of points is obtained by photographing the copy through a "screen", or criss-cross system of finely ruled lines. The closer together these lines are, the smoother and harder must the paper be that is to receive their result in ink. Thus, pictures in newspapers are made with screens having 60 lines to the inch; pictures on paper with an ivory-like finish have been made with screens up to 400 lines to the inch. Color Process...
