Bobo had no idea how fast the gold would rush ("I haven't had time to figure it out"), but she was in a mood to celebrate. One evening later, coquettishly holding hands with Reno Hotelman Charles Mapes, Bobo showed up at a big stone castle on Lake Tahoe, where an even richer lady, Elsinore Machris Gillilan, a bride of 70 who inherited $20 million from her previous oil-drenched husband, was tossing a small, make-believe Hawaiian luau (a beach wassail where revelers cry "Oahu!"). There was no poi or okolehau, but there were oodles of orchids...
...Margaret Morris, 64, was appearing with her new dance group, the Celtic Ballet of Scotland. Paris-born Dancer Morris has few illu sions about her own barefoot dancing and choreographic style. Says she: "Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis are the Ice Age; I'm about the Stone Age."

He had prepared a sacrifice to the goddess Kali; tied to stakes before a stone idol were two terrified Indian policemen. While dacoits, members of Man Singh's band of robbers, chanted hymns, a priest reverently bathed the idol's feet, then sprinkled water from the same pitcher on the victims...
...haze of dust and of short twilights when the sky at the last moment goes green over the sharp, violet mountains, which seem to have been cut out by a knife . . . The landscape of Castile, Unamuno said, is for monotheism, not pantheism. God is a precise thing like a stone, the Christ is a real man bleeding, and the blood of His wounds stains the mother's cheeks as she leans against Him; the Virgin is a real girl. In this country the cemeteries are lonely, for they lie well out of the towns . . . The black cypress marks...
