A reflective critique of modern dissatisfaction, prosperity, and social inequality. It argues the present age is the most restless in history, driven by envy, individualism, and a belief that political democracy is a gold brick. It contends education sharpens rights while materialism fuels discontent.
The piece explores how high buildings may rise, weighing foundations and materials, with the elevator as a key limiting factor. It imagines a mile high towers in Manhattan and suggests elevators would govern feasibility, while noting architects can meet modern demands and skyscraper popularity will endure.
The piece discusses inexpensive spring millinery with straw and velvet trims, noting soft ribbons and various hat shapes. It then argues for making disease education public, urging medical schools to teach prevention, open medical museums, and broaden study to include comparative biology and public lectures by physicians.
Advance spring fashions preview fabrics likely to dominate the season. Foulard gains strength for lighter, draped outfits while stiff silks stay in demand. Rajah and pongee appear later, with veiling fabrics showing stripes and checks. Voile remains cool over silk for coats and skirts but less suited for morning dresses.
The speaker condemns audacious passages in a risky play and notes spectators, especially women, do not blush or leave. He argues morality and decency constrain open discussion and that vile dialogue harms social standards, while noting women’s presence signals approval or interest.
A charming party frock for children showcases wash able Irish handkerchief linen or India linen or Persian lawn. The long waisted blouse style lowers the waist to the hips with a satin ribbon ceinture, concealing the skirt seam. Convent embroidery bands frame the design and a square neck with short frilled sleeves completes the look.
Spring fabrics feature unusual embroidery with pale blue swiss robes dotted in white and long black embroidery. Chiffons and organdies display deep flowered borders, including a misty sea green piece with a border of deep green roses suited to a golden haired blonde.
The piece surveys chemisette designs from delicate lacework and embroidery to sturdier linen and pique options. It highlights cobwebby linen, veined bands, Irish lace panels, Broderic Anglaise on linen, and French touches like Pompadour balls and Swiss embroidery edging, noting balance and restraint enhance beauty.
Chantilly lace veils can be cleaned effectively using ordinary soap and water. Soak the veil for dust and smoke removal, up to 24 hours if very soiled, then rinse in fresh soapsuds, dip in weak starch, pull into shape, roll in a cloth to near dry, and iron with a warm not hot iron.
A publisher argues to adopt simplified spelling to reduce eye strain and time wasted. He calculates potential annual savings in education and publishing, cites failures due to poor spelling, and urges systematic reform to end chaos in spelling books.
