In a humorous Egypt of travel writing and folklore, Burdette laments shopping in Europe, recalls hotel bills and theater programs, then dives into legends of St Ursula and Cologne bones. He contrasts American thrift with European bustle and muses on legends along the Rhine and beyond.
The narrator rails at European hotels boycotting freebies and the stingy habits of continental households. He notes locked railway time cards, scarce advertising, and strict rations while contrasting American abundance with European austerity and his own hunger. He recalls a visit to Urba na with Phocion Howard and a vague play.
The narrator travels from Cologne to Mayence on a Federated Imperial Brewing cargo boat. Beer overflows with passengers as the drinkers gulp and absorb steins, while legends of Rhine goblins and a three gallon man who swallows six sit oddly beside talk of profits and rail-fast dining.
In a downtown store a chicken house operates inside a window coop and large farm coops. Maitle chicks sell for 15 cents each to urban families and country adopters as children's pets, not for meat or fancy stock. A bloodhound in Brownsburg, Indiana, after a show bit a man and was shot.
An advertisement for S. Tiichelson offering wines and liquors with free delivery from a Belmar New Jersey P O Box 128.
A New Orleans telephone operator explains daily call patterns from 1:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. with lulls at dawn and early hours and peaks around nine to ten, noting 4 000 calls between nine and ten and a residence surge after four. She attempts to theorize the causes. The piece then shifts to a column on tobacco chemistry and aroma compounds.
