Polly Polly and Paul Paulny A Fourth of July Scheming Twins
Polly and Paul Stokely, twins who look alike, hatch a playful plan to swap identities for a July Fourth trip to Rangely lakes and New York. Polly pretends to be Paul, while Paul dons Polly’s dress, aiming for a carefree girl’s life and a dash of mischief. Their scheme entangles nurse Pitkins, Aunt Kimberly, and a box of fireworks, ending in a comic, nearly disastrous, but affectionate wake-up call.

An Atlantic Appetite Drives Actor to Deception Aboard Ship
An actor narrates a curious tale of an Atlantic voyage where hunger spurred him to mimic a fellow passenger Mr De Keater. He secretly painted and dressed as the man, dining in his place for days while the real husband and wife puzzled over the impersonation. The ruse collapsed when the genuine Mr De Keater appeared at dinner. The author explains the deception was to cover his appetite, not a crime against the couple.

MODELS FOR PICTURES IN BOSTON ART STUDIOS
A Boston artist discusses the role of models in art, noting about 30 poses active in studios with roughly half men and half women. Male models earn about $5 per hour and can fetch high daily earnings, while women, often art students, receive similar pay for posing in character and costume. He defends the profession against prudery, stressing health, discipline, and modesty as essential for serious posing.
