A health column advises abdominal exercises to firm the core, recommending leg raises while lying flat and controlled lowering. It warns the routine is hard on the heart if overdone, but promises stronger muscles, better blood flow, and aid to digestion. The piece also answers readers on home remedies for skin whitening and a soothing bath fragrance.
The piece describes handmade silk moss roses used as corsage accessories and trims for baby bonnets, wreaths, and juvenile dance frocks. It notes their appeal in white materials and suggests they finish ruffles and shoulder straps with delicate clusters on lace.

A decorative party bag feature shows lace kerchiefs, satin bows, and silk detail in assorted colors with practical gifts inside.
