A column blends anecdotes on a factory girl’s surprising acceptance of a marriage proposal written for her by a literate confidant, with notes on the Royal Oak’s lineage and artifacts. It weaves curious tales from social life and historic curiosities, including a Windsor era oak and oddities from London life and manners.
A collage of old journal bits recounts theater, public notices, and legal actions. It weaves brief vignettes from stage misfires in New York, a Parthenon of goats nibbling at festive leaf art, to lengthy Brewster County tax proceedings and land foreclosures, all reflecting early 20th century local life.
A string of peculiar vignettes describes eccentric households and commerce. A New Jersey wit ponders energy waste and a dove’s vocal chords soothing a noisy Tomcat. Arthur notes many house servants while joking about practical fixes. A Boston fruit vendor contemplates a Venus collection. Grotesque delivery wagons spark humor about patent medicines and toy-like vehicles enlivening streets.
