unearths some literary gems.
From Vanity Fair, July-Dec. 1925:
***the red tongue of carpet that a church rudely sticks out at a wedding [Woollcott]***Its enveloping trees are slim exclamation points depending from an astonished sky.***Notes on some of the attachments:Iris literally *is* of the Family Tree, as in the theatrical dynasty bearing the surname Tree.As you may recall, this Prexy Mammon illustration is the second we've seen recently in which a person has numerical features. (But how much is that in vherevithals?)You will no doubt note the "Bruce"-precursing in the "named them both Margaret" business.Unfortunately, the piece printed under the heading "On Combining Tennis and Golf" dealt with athletes keeping both sports in rotation but not, as I'd hoped, literally playing them simultaneously.
