Don’t Marry a John Be A Self Reliant Woman
A late 19th century moral essay urges caution against marrying flawed men, advising girls to seek independence and choose vocations. It warns that husbands like John bring selfishness and control, while noble husbands shield loved ones and share cheerful, self reliant work. The piece promotes self respect, modest dress, and personal preparation for marriage or single life.

Wealth of Quips and Quirks Drifts Through Village Dance
A lively extract from Dantery News with anecdotes on a witty young lady and a boastful gentleman at a dance. A flirtation ends in a half hour air break and a graveyard remark. A playful prankster’s speech about blank declarations and reading material clashes with a caution from a rector. A boat ride bet ends in a dare to dive, but the plan falters.
