Incognito as "Monsieur Adolphe," His Majesty King Gustaf V arrived for his usual winter sojourn on the French Riviera last week, made for a charity gala at the Casino in Cannes. Strolling in late, Monsieur Adolph learned that 25 tickets for the charity raffle remained unsold, bought ail of them. Few hours later he learned he had won a building lot at a new Riviera resort now striving mightily to push itself.

While in his all-too-short sojourn at Harvard history in the making lives as a naked muse before his classes. And so the Vagabond doffs an imaginary hat to Professor Webster and wishes him all social and diplomatic success at emperors garden parties...
