American girls dazzle London society and other tidbits
A New Haven Register item notes American women in London society while New York prepares to celebrate Langtry. Weather veers mild with baseball season upcoming. A NY Commercial Advertiser critic skewers Emma Thursby from a decade ago. A phrenology journal praises whistling for lungs. An Indian princess owns an elephant named baby. A Southern man defends trading his wife for a setter dog as a companion for deceit.
