I seized my own pencil with juhilation, for here at last Mr. Reisman expressed amazement over the fact that was a man who would say what he liked and didn't like out of an entire assemblage of women there are so few about women, and who wouldn't be wishy-washy about it. who have figures to measure up to anything like Ziegfeld A man, moreover, who long has been in a position to (or even television) standards.

His re­ action to her is rather like that to a lodestone 'round his neck, which he would hate to think of dragging around for a lifetime. It's a weighty problem to think of her at all ro­ mantically.
