An Old reporter recalls how publishers used to hire a woman writer and commission an artist to produce an idealized portrait. The forged image boosted her fame until she embraced vanity and altered herself into a superior figure. A New York racial function encounter turned into a sharp sting about the print’s eroding credibility.
A collage of quips and brief notices from various papers includes barbed lines about Parta and Crimson Gulch, humorous exchanges on hats and powders, cautions about drinking wagers, and sport snatches. It compiles wit from the Chicago Times Herald Chicago Record Cleveland Plain Dealer Indianapolis Journal New York Journal Los Angeles Bulletin and Obligo News.
Fragments from Chicago papers mix satire and advices on health and vanity. Items reference Dooley creator Peter Dunne, folk remedies like One Minute cough cure, De Witts salve, and Rocky Mountain tea, with brief quips about propriety, self control, and a pope interested in photography.
