Just a year ago, Harold LeClair Ickes. then 64, slipped away from Washington, sailed to Ireland and there, in Dublin, made screaming headlines for London papers by marrying titian-haired Jane Dahlman, 25, of Milwaukee. Last week at a press conference the press-baiting Secretary of the Interior blushed handsomely when asked if Washington gossip was true, that he was once more to become a father (in September).* Replied forthright Mr. Ickes: "I have hopes. It's great to be in public life, isn't it? ... What we need is a little more liberty from the press...
From Propaganda Minister Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels came a symposium of German movies from 1910 to 1939. Labor Front Leader Dr. Robert Ley presented a Volkswagen, the cheap German-manufactured car not yet available to the public.

...textures, transparencies and color subtleties of the skin, have made nude painting what Bernard Berenson called "the most absorbing problem of classic art."

From the 17th Century came a dusky Landscape with Nymphs and Satyrs by France's great Nicolas Poussin. How nude painting became stage prettiness and erotic folderol in 18th-and early 19th-Century France was almost too amply demonstrated in pictures by Watteau, Boucher, Baudouin, Girodet and Prud...
Also scheduled to sail from England for the U. S. this week on the same mission is titian-haired, 40-year-old Stephanie Julienne Richter Princess Hohenlohe-Waldenbourg-Schillingsfürst, confidante of the Führer and friend of half of Europe's great. Since the fall of Austria, Princess Stephanie, once the toast of Vienna, has lent her charms to advancing the Nazi cause in circles where it would do the most good...
