Stylish Stout. Last month she undertook still another operatic assignment, in the name part of Cherubini's Medea, done in concert form in Manhattan's Town Hall. The role is one of opera's most difficult, but it held no terrors for Soprano Farrell. During rehearsal her attitude was playful. She kidded the French horn player for a minute burble, grinned delightedly at the violins when they produced a soaring harmony.

Pride and its fall became the pattern of his life...
None for the Road. In Kansas City, Mo., Police Lieut. Frank Wells drove around town all day looking for a motorist to whom he could present a $100 safe-driving award, finally spotted a likely candidate at 10:30 p.m., discovered, after trying to press the award on him, that he had been convicted of four traffic violations last year...
