...Scandinavian monarch is greeted by his subjects with no servility, no boot-licking but with the affectionate bonhomie that a Protestant layman might show to an amiable Bishop of his sect. Last week Denmark's giant-tall King Christian X, on one of his daily horseback jaunts through Copenhagen's busiest streets, was not surprised when a passing truck driver waved him a cheery salute. Back waved King Christian, and at that moment his horse, young and excitable, suddenly reared, fell down. Beneath the horse one of the King's legs was pinioned and anxious bystanders rushed...
...months ago to learn more newspapering under Publisher Herbert Porter, young Randolph Hearst delighted Atlanta youngbloods by leasing for living quarters half a floor in the swank northside Biltmore Apartments, buying a 12-cylinder Packard, an English Austin, a twin-engined cabin monoplane, learning to fly. Six feet tall, broad-shouldered, small-hipped, expert squash and softball player, fond of dancing, blond, brown-eyed Randolph Hearst reports for work at 7:30 a. m., eats democratically and heartily with his fellow workers at a nearby lunchroom, is free to play after...

It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple; one must be woman-manly or man-womanly." Tall, gaunt, haunted-looking Virginia Woolf lives quietly with her husband, divides her time between long weekends in a low-lying Sussex cottage (where she does most of her work) and a tall house in London. She rarely makes a public appearance. She has no children. Careless of her clothes...
...fashionable Boulogne, Burton devoted himself to writing, swordsmanship and pretty women. Of farthest-reaching consequences was his bold self-introduction to tall, beautiful, 19-year-old Isabel Arundell, closely guarded daughter of an aristocratic English Catholic family. To his "painful" smile on the street one day she responded by whispering tremulously to her sister, "That man will marry me."
