"The fifth evening after she got my wire she was waiting, all decolletee and dressed up, for me and Vaucross to take her to dinner in one of these New York feminine apartment houses where a man can't get in unless he plays bezique and smokes depilatory powder cigarettes. "'She's a stunner, says Vaucross when he saw her. 'They'll give her a two-column cut sure.
The general view seemed to be that such a strike was an intolerable nuisance, if not something worse. At length the conservative Ledger came out with a two-column editorial, outlining the situation, and from then on news of the various happenings, as they occurred, could be found in all the papers. But the girls were unorganized.
Hull explained that he remembered the time particularly because he happened to be winding the clock at the moment. A description of Lane was given in a two-column "box." He read it with no amusement. It was too deadly accurate for comfort. The supposed assassin of James Cunningham is described by Mrs. Cass Hull as dressed in a pepper-and-salt suit and a white, pinched-in cattleman's hat.
Anthony to hold himself ready for a two-column opening that will knock the town endways. Just tell him that he must take all measures and precautions for a scoop. Say that Figgis will be over in five minutes with the facts, and that he had better let him write up the story in his private room.
In reply to this, Stanistreet in a two-column article used the word 'dreamer, and Rogers, when Berlin had been already silenced, finally replied with his amazing 'block-head. But, in my opinion, by far the most learned and lucid of the scientific dicta was from the rather unexpected source of Sloggett, of the Dublin Science and Art Department: he, without fuss, accepted the statements of the fugitive eye-witnesses, down to the assertion that the cloud, as it rolled travelling, seemed mixed from its base to the clouds with languid tongues of purple flame, rose-coloured at their edges.
I said to Constance, after running through the two-column telegram from Washington, of which this passage formed part. "I don't know about that; but you see, Dick, this thing clearly comes from the American people, not her politicians and diplomatists only. That is what gives it its tremendous importance, I think." "Yes; to be sure. And why does John Crondall want the offer declined?"
There are generally three or four leading articles somewhat of the character but of course not the quality of the Spectator; and the notes on the first page of the Liberal weekly are evidently imitated in a page of short editorial comments called 'Topics of the Week. 'Literature, by which is meant a two-column review of a single book and three or four short reviews, is another heading.
It was the morning penny paper that Lightener bought, the paper with leanings toward the proletariat, the veiled champion of labor. He bought it daily. "Huh!" he grunted, as he scanned the first page. "They kind of allude to you." Bonbright looked. He saw a two-column head: YOUNG MILLIONAIRE URGES ON POLICE
Ayrton. Then, as everyone was humming the lines of the music-hall young lady: "From the land of far New Guinea Came a little pig-a-ninny," the daily papers were bound to give two-column reviews to the book on the day of its publication; and as the rod which Moses cast down before Pharaoh swallowed up the wriggling rods of the magicians, the interest attaching to Mr. George Holland prosecuted.
For his front-page "picture feature" that morning, he had selected a two-column half-tone of a good-looking, though not altogether pleasant-faced young man; and beneath it had indited in bold capitals which the most casual eye could not miss: "Mr. Ferris Stanhope, Author and Former Hunstonian, Who Has Just Arrived in Town." "I see," said Varney, slowly. "Meaning me."
