Enchantments and travel tales on Irish roads offend American travelers
A fragmentary travel piece laments US visitors in Ireland, especially John W Smiths, who dislike Kerry landscapes and Kilkenny lore.

The page also includes fashion notes on 1926Winter hats and health column bits by Annette Bradshaw.
