Charity Ball Denied Leads to Marriage Twist
A tale from a Chicago Tribune column recounts a South Side suitor and a North Side woman who refused a charity ball invitation. The couple wed with no trip, but a remembered $25 note from the mother prompted a playful moral. A separate item parodies a hired man and a shore-side donkey, and a New York Herald note mocks delivery boys and odd pennies.
