Social currents and stray glimpses in autumn New York
The piece weighs social reception of Mrs. James Brown Potter after her American debut and ponders if her influence endures in New York society. It recalls Madison Square Theatre admiration for a former leading figure, then shifts to humane notes about a dog at Sheltering Home for Animals and a tale of clever camera travelers invading royal spaces for images. It also notes a girl abandoning the banjo for the mandolin and a sunny Common wealth avenue stroll with children and a St Bernard among familiar scene prose.
