A fragment from a historical piece describes women serving as public porters and dining car waiters on a special train carrying illness suffragists to Washington. It mentions Rhona Fae and a shine shoes task as part of a wider shift toward organized mental labor under a new dispensation. The passage hints the time is remote.
The fragment discusses the difficulty of financing a touring car by mortgaging a house. It highlights the risky, luck-driven nature of obtaining such a luxury through home equity, illustrating the high barrier to access for buyers.
In a lively chat, members of a sewing circle trade stories about friends and relatives with cars. Adela notes queer car owners, while Louise, a cousin, Louise, and others recount rides, awkward crises, and social tensions sparked by automobile ownership and envy.
A fragment from Mrs. Edmund Vance Cook’s anecdote about a child tale of a poisonous snake and a dead stick triggers a perky exchange with a young reader asking if a bite would have killed, and whether it would have made them orphans. The text shifts to Rene Dumic of Monte Carlo discussing menus in New York and the appeal of a tempting dish.
A Cluny museum relic in Paris shows a frying pan once fastened to Louis XIV’s coffin. Discovered in Saint Denis, the pan bore the French royal arms and orders, and inscription urging peace. It was detached during 1798 upheavals and converted, now displayed without the handle.
A Wathena mother recounts a severe scalp and facial eruption in her child, likening it to pimples that became sores from scratching. After two weeks of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the sores nearly vanished and the child’s complexion cleared, with relief felt when the ointment was applied. The ad promotes Cuticura products and a free 82 page Skin Book.
