Winter News and Distant Hopes Across A Fractured Era

The column surveys a mix of snippets: fashion lapses with Puck style flannels, a weather note on New York snow, a London song popular with husbands, a rumor about ex Mayor Pierce and the Bulgarian throne denied, an escape from a burning post office with mails saved, Marlboro Times speculation on Ruth’s first lover, pleas for revivals in Maine tied to a Democratic state government inauguration, and a general air of social and political chatter from the era.
