My good friends and fellow publicists, Arthur Brisbane and Gilbert Seldes, have got far ahead of me in printed space consumed during the time the summer dust-covers have been on this magazine. But I return to print with much news and of a mind to be faithful to my duties during the winter.

Miss Alicia Preseott Skinner, daughter of Professor and Mrs. Preseott O. Skinner of Hanover, and John Carleton were married in the American Cathedral in Paris on July 1. The maid of honor was Miss Patricia Farwell of New York, and Professor Kenneth A. Robinson was best man. Among those who attended the ceremony were Mrs. Skinner and Mrs. Carleton, mothers of the participants, and Win Wadleigh '23. The Carletons undertook a six-weeks motor trip on the Continent after the ceremony. They are now back in Manchester, John's bailiwick, where they live at 1966 Elm St. John's bride had just completed her junior year in Smith College, and during this past year has been a student in the Smith course in Paris.

Another classmate who is becoming articulate is Shaw Livermore. In collaboration with Prof. Charles S. Tippets, Princeton 'l6, he has written a text-book on business organization, in the manner of Haney's book, which some of our business giants studied in Eccy 53. It will be published by Van Nostrand in January. Shaw was on leave last year while the book was in process. This year he will enroll at Columbia to fill out his requirements for a Ph.D., and it will then be Dr. Livermore to you, sirs. The Livermores have two offspring, Shaw Jr. and Gloria. A letter giving me the above information was elicited by a mean remark I made about the economist in the last Twoter.

Alongside a picture of Hugh Kilmer in the New York Evening Post for May 8, appeared this write-up:
"Hugh Kilmer, elected a partner in the New York Stock Exchange firm of Hardy and Company, April 1 last, is a kinsman of Joyce Kilmer, the American poet killed in the World War. Prior to his election to partnership, Mr. Kilmer was manager of the bond department of Hardy and Company.

From Crescent City, Fla., deep in the citrus belt, we learn that the Tom Carpenters on October 9, 1930, became proud parents of T. S. Carpenter 3d. Tom has the usual story that the weather hit his oranges, but that's getting to be an old story, and becomes less credible in the face of the flood of orange juice which is vitamining the morale of this republic. That old planter has pledged himself to gather by the river with the rest of us next June.
