A reflective verse about a son overseas receiving a lavender scented letter from a gray haired mother. The poem praises a mother's steadfast love and the comfort of her caring hand that understands a lonely son.
The tale follows Susan the Third, a plain farm girl who defies upper class expectations by running a farm with a practical superintendent, Mr. Dodd. After a staged engagement to hide their real relationship, they reveal genuine feelings, agree to continue the engagement, and vow secrecy from the aunts who misread the situation.
John T. Cross of Blackstone Street was fined $10 in Central Court yesterday for selling tainted meat and refusing to refund the money on complaint.
A series of letters argues whether married women should teach public school. Writers contend motherhood ages schooling duties, that teaching requires undivided attention, and that mothers belong at home while single women or childless teachers may work. A teacher observes long hours and clerical tasks reduce actual classroom teaching.
A poem by Walt Mason humorously laments aging with vanity and bravado. The speaker jokes about gray whiskers and gout while insisting on a young heart, admitting rheumatics and rheumy eyes but maintaining a glossy self image.
A reader asks Mildred Champagne whether to ask the young lady or notify her parents first. The columnist suggests buying the ring, placing it on the partner, then informing the girl’s parents that the engagement has begun.
The piece argues clothes shape impressions and confidence, noting remodelling can create a smart look without big funds. It describes altering a satin gown with a softened surplice waist, lace, ribbon sash, and a cherry velvet toque as examples of inexpensive style upgrades.
Tassels appear as trimming on some fall coats. The fall suit will button closely around the neck. The new circular skirt has its fullness in front. Long haired furs are in less demand than usual. The short sleeve and long waist are seen together.
A Middlesex grand jury will meet tomorrow morning at the request of District Attorney Tufts to investigate rising automobile thefts. The move is part of a larger war on thieves and receivers of stolen cars. About a dozen men were arrested this month by Cambridge police on related charges.
A reader shares a conserve made from leftover pineapple and prunes with juice, sugar and nuts boiled to a thick syrup yielding two jelly tumblers. Gertrude Litchfield notes it is versatile year round and surprisingly distinctive.
