The article reviews marriage rituals requiring cash as a household starter, then pivots to spring fashion: coats, linens, and children's frocks in stripes and lace.

A miscellany of anecdotes on punctuation mischief and social quirks, including a Berkeley bookseller’s misdirected order for Seekers After God, German etiquette jokes, a von Moltke quip, Osage and immigrant humor, a yardman engine mishap, and a planned 700 foot revolving Globe Tower on Coney Island with a grand tour of floors, cafes, and observatory.
