...dried drilling. Dr. Fuess believes that only an enthusiastic instructor can have an enthusiastic class; this, to be sure, is best proved by his own career as a teacher. His is the old idea of a scholar and a gentleman, a sort of Henry Ryecroft with an almost tender love and understanding of his books...
...bootlegger enter as surprise, witnesses and tell the truth, which sounds entirely incredible against the massed perjuries of Glenwood Park. So they perjure themselves, too, and so credibly that the prisoner is discharged. The Night of June 13, written by Vera Caspary. is bitter against meddling women and tender toward badgered men.

In spite of all their elders' iron efforts to separate them they, like bits of quicksilver, run together again. After a bevy of tender, and to their elders, scandalous escapades, during one of which they even manage to spend an innocent night together in an empty house; after Halcyon turns her hand to the drama, and Eden makes a name acting in her hopeless play, the two children, for all their frequent scrapping, come...
