And how can “Doc” Gallinger forget his friends of the Metropoli- tan (millionaires’) Club? You can count a clear majority of the United States senators who have incomes of $25,000 or more.

The following note was found pinned to her pillow: “I'm sorry I have to take my wedding trip alone—sorry, worry, sorry. I'll think of you every minute—Peggy.” She is reported to have board- ed a train for Niagara Falls, alone.
