Fireless cookers in Maori homes and Oxford pun
The article surveys Maori women using heatless cookers made from simple materials to bake and wash, describing the improvised ovens in mud and steam. It then recaps a London Stray Story about a suitor asking an heiress's father for her hand, and a quip about the Duke of Wellington era. A Westminster joke notes Oxford offering a Doctor of Civil Laws degree with a humorous verse about debt.
