"Ever spent a day at the Home for Destitute Gentlewomen at East Sheen?" demanded Madge.
And Gay gets all the press-notices! Say, it makes me sick!" He looked at Jean wistfully. "The trouble is, you don't realize what a raw deal you're getting," he said, with much discontent in his tone.

The editors of America God bless them! They are always trying to boost a home enterprise not for the sake of the imported attraction but for the sake of the home folks who import it. We must read people, not press-notices.
Now, however, just at the proper time a book, Die Descendenz-theorie has appeared from the pen of the zoologist, Professor Fleischmann of Erlangen, in which Haeckel is severely condemned.
