A fashion feature describes a new watermarked velvet trimmed outfit with a long skirt over a waistcoat style jacket. It outlines fabrics such as velvet and wool, suggests trim options like soutache braid, and provides pattern No. 5019 with yardage for sizes and ordering instructions by mail.
Basque style pattern No 5648 designed by May Manton offers a plain fitted lining that shapes blouses and waists. It works with various necklines and sleeves, can be longer or shorter, and includes front and back pieces with a stock collar. Send 10 cents and size to the office for mail delivery.
Miss Misa Jackson travels from Columbus to Hastings with warnings from her mother. A charming Yale style professor of languages helps her in a bind then returns a stolen purse. Jimmy the Kid reappears as a trickster in the Hastings interlude. Tom Blynn uncovers the ruse and the professor departs to Samalong.
A playful list explains umbrella signals in social life. Placing an umbrella in a rack hints at a change of owner. Opening it in the street risks someone’s eye, while shutting it may block a bat or two. Carrying it over a woman signals courtship, versus marriage when a man holds it and the woman’s drips.
Rubber offers many uses but its limited supply and high cost limit application. A London railway station pavement laid in 1881 wore down to five-eighths of an inch by 1902. Despite scarcity, rubber pavement cost less than three times wood and lasted over twenty years, versus wood or asphalt lasting about four.
