Scatterings of society notes and jokes from late 19th century press
Fragmentary clippings recount several social items and anecdotes. Carrie Wilcox of Bradford seeks marriage, Mrs. Susan Fenimore Cooper seeks funds, and Bishop Pierce recalls early labor. The column mocks misprints, jokes about weddings, a steel sidewalk, and a variety of humorous vignettes from papers like the Atlanta Constitution and Hartford Times.
