Letters from readers discuss sharing a $5000 inheritance between spouses or family, advising to honor mothers, invest in personal name, or gift deeds to husbands. Advice emphasizes prudent use, independence, and fair division while preserving family harmony and responsibility.
The Sunday Post presents a selection of notable letters to the Sewing Circle, showcasing reader reflections and community voices. These correspondents share anecdotes, tips, and humorous notes that illuminate domestic life and crafts.
A fashion note describes a simple, affordable street costume. The item features loose lines in subterranean green unfinished serge with double-breasted buttons, tan embroidered cuffs, and a black patent belt. The style mimics a Norfolk jacket with inverted pleats and a walkable skirt.
Frosting glass to obscure sun or eyes can be done with a paint of ground sugar of lead in oil. Apply like ordinary paint, pound with batting while fresh, let partly dry, then lay a sharpened stick along a straight edge to form diamonds or squares on the sash. Mrs. Jennie Gore Cliftondale, 3 Maple Street.
A humorous portrait by Walt Mason portrays a man of stately mien whose appeal spans rich and poor alike. The poem emphasizes practical virtue over conquest, politics, or artistic thunder, culminating in the line that he is “the man who has the price the man who pays his bills on time.”
A 19 year old asks why a handsome man she met on a picnic does not call. The columnist says dreaminess alone is not proof of love and suggests he may be bashful. She should offer a gentle invitation if she senses genuine admiration and her social position invites him to call.
This period notes a few bustle effects likely to fail in popularity. New coats feature two sections at the waist, Oriental gowns with Watteau trains, and modified kimono sleeves on wraps. Paris dressmakers show oyster leather trims, bright velveteen accents, and animal-faced furs. Soft plaids suit children and large motoring coats. corded textures and petal scallops decorate gowns and petticoats.
A recipe fragment lists ingredients and steps for graham muffins doughnuts cornbread and chocolate cake. It attributes the collection to Mrs F P Flaherty of 601 East Broadway South Boston and provides quantities for sugar flour milk eggs butter and spices, plus baking directions.
A 1915 verse by the Bentztown Bard laments labor waiting and the unseeable answer as readers are urged to press on. The piece ends with a call to lay down the burden at twilight and take it up again at dawn. The note mentions a broader discussion in the next Sunday Post Magazine about wartime funding.
A reflective piece extols the phrase good by God bless you as a sacred benediction. The speaker praises direct Anglo Saxon speech over foreign farewells and recalls a mother's parting moment of quiet, loving blessing at departure.
I M Rich of New Haven, promoter of over a thousand baby carnivals, denounces eugenic infant theories. He will run Baby land at the Rockingham fair with prizes over $1000 on Sept 30 and Oct 1, including categories for prettiest, strongest, fattest, and tiniest babies and a white dress parade for girls 3 to 12.
