A newspaper poem recounts a bride from last season who had her husband cremated soon after death, then mated with two more husbands who were likewise cremated. The verses contrast the bride’s fortunes with other women ready for marriage and the social costs of courting.
A spoof feature uses a prison interview with Hilda Hilderson to lampoon reporter techniques. The piece presents quips about 50-50 finances, a mock murder confession, and a punchline about vaudeville contracts while the narrator reveals his role as a reporter. It closes with short cartoon-style jokes and a copyright notice from 1925.
