Youngest brother in the original lot was Rev. Wythe Leigh Kinsolving, who lives in retirement in Manhattan, writes letters-to-editors. Still active is the other brother. Rev. Arthur Barksdale Kinsolving, rector of St. Paul's in Baltimore. He is father of seven, among them Anne, a onetime reporter who married rich John Nicholas Brown (TIME, Nov. 10, 1930); Eleanor (Mrs. Beverly Ober), leader at young peoples' conferences at Northneld, Mass.; and "Little Tui"—Rev. Arthur Lee, one-time Rhodes scholar, rector of Boston's famed Trinity Church, leader in the Episcopal movement to get college men in the church.

Few years ago. New Year's funsters observed the Bishop of Brazil and his son "Big Tui" blowing horns in a merry parade on Broadway in Manhattan. The Kinsolvings are celebrated in song as well as story:

"My brain is revolving," cried Bishop Kinsolving.

"Heigh, ho, we'll blow the men down!"

But this was written to plague a nonecclesiastical member of the family, at the University of Virginia.

*Succeeding the late Rev. Dr Robert Norwood, popular and eloquent mystic. Instituting lank, bespectacled Dr. Sargent last month. Bishop Manning admonished him to revive parish visitations.
