Quips and glimpses from a bustling Philadelphia era

A mosaic of social jests and quick anecdotes touches on courtship rituals, educated persiflage, and remarks from Philadelphia Chronicle readers. Observations include a boy’s job ad for growing up in an office, views on bachelorhood, girl and ice cream, and a joke about a man who quit snoring and his ex-wife’s bread. A noted concert and a civil war peace motif wrap the slice of urban life.
