A fragment from a Houston Chronicle piece recalls a smoky ballroom scene where beauty and chivalry mingle until around seven in the evening, with Dentley noted as part of the mix.

A collection of humorous anecdotes features doctors at a health resort lamenting dwindling patients and a string of quirky remarks by William J. Stead Adlai Stevenson and banker Daniel Meyer.
