Last January the bonfire girls found a match: the U. S. Government had never officially appointed her to her post. Franklin Roosevelt quietly appointed a chum of Mesdames Perkins, Dewson and his wife -Mary Winslow of Washington-to the "vacancy." But Miss Stevens thwarted the bonfire girls. She refused to leave office...
After a month of argument before Judge Michael L. Igoe, the jury received the case on Friday afternoon. Seven favored setting the will aside, depriving Northwestern University of the $70,000 bequest. Five opposed, among them Mrs. Katherine Merrifield, wife of Dr. Frederick W. Merrifield, professor at Northwestern. Saturday morning the arguing jurors asked for further instructions, were told that if they reached no verdict they would be locked up till Monday. Then the minority, including Mrs. Merrifield, gave up, signed the verdict, went home for the week...
...many extra-marital affairs, and few Rumanians, to whom mistresses are certainly not unusual,* would have given his peccadilloes a second thought had not His Royal Highness happened one night in the Cercul Militar to meet a voluptuous young woman named Magda Lupescu.

To prove that he knows of what he is talking, Mickie has decorated the folder with his family picture--one wife, four daughters, five sons...
...defeat rebellious kings; how to enlist Might in the cause of Right. Half-fantasy, half-burlesque, like its predecessor it mixes wisecracks and Morte d'Arthur, scrambles legend and topical satire. While her husband King Lot is away fighting Arthur, Queen Morgause, comic symbol of the egocentric wife, attempts the seduction of lovesick King Pellinore (3.2 Don Quixote) and Sir Grummore Grummursum (Sancho Panza on rye). Meanwhile her neglected sons Gawaine, Agravaine, Gaheris and Gareth confound their Saracen tutor Palomides, who talks rather like Charlie Chan, and beg stories from heretic St. Torealvac (parody brogue), who inhabits a beehive...
