Much of the gossip that I purvey has, I am aware, the stale odor of great antiquity. That is not my fault; it is that of the news-gathering system in good old closely-knit 1922. For instance: Shepard in 1928 writes from London that in 1926 at Bethel, Conn., Perkins' daughter was born. Your Secretary appreciates greatly the kindly things that are said when he runs into his classmates—but what nourishes an editor's worn body is news, and at least one gossipy letter a year from everyone will hereafter entitle the writer thereof to one good poke at the secretarial chops under a bonus system hereby inaugurated. There are shining exceptions amid the great group of the inarticulate to whom the secretarial fedora is hereby reverently raised.
