Prayers & Sympathy. In Pasadena, Calif. Albert Einstein said he thought kidnapping showed a lack of "social sanity." Law-abiding Londoners, aghast at a crime directed against "the American approximation of the Prince of Wales," could not understand why a Prince of Wales would leave his much-publicized infant unguarded. President Ortiz Rubio ordered the Mexican Army to watch the border for the kidnappers. The Changchow Merchants' Guild of Peiping sent sympathy. Episcopal Bishop Manning of New York ordered his flock to pray for the infant's safe return. School children and 500,000 Companions of the Forest of America also...
...easy to understand why students have not been eager to hear their fellows discuss socialism, protective tariff, and world politics with representatives of other colleges. Debaters have ceased to be the guardians of collegiate honor and their activities have a limited interest for undergraduates. Students who have the opportunity during the day of hearing recognized authorities discuss tariff probems or international relations can hardly be expected to spend their evenings listening to their amateur though conscientious friends glibly talk on the same subjects.

Zagreus undertakes to show Boleyn the ropes of Bohemia, sends him off to tea-parties and interviews with Apes Flagellant, Lesbian and the like. Boleyn takes his orders very seriously but cannot understand what it is all about. At Lord Osmund's drunken Lenten party all the world tries to act crazy, succeeds. Because of his comparatively sane behavior Boleyn, more mystified than ever, is cast off by Zagreus in favor of young Archie Margolin. Then Zagreus marries ancient Lady Fredigonde...
...told of a man with an old and ugly wife. When he discovered another man with her he did not shoot, or even shout. "He only said that he was bound by law to sleep with her, but why the other man was doing it he really could not understand." Then there is Yirgil Cristea, a baker whose reputation as a solid, sober citizen makes him a little sad. To divert his melancholy Author Baerlein persuades him to don a horsetail for a beard, pretend he is a gnome. But as gnomes are known to milk other people...
