Quips and quick wits from a bygone column

A collage of wry maxims and humorous vignettes from a Boston Transcript style page. Odds and ends include moral asides, legal quips, classroom gags, a Kentucky rescue tale, and a nuts-and-bargains anecdote. Notable lines touch on ethics, court rulings, and social foibles with a playful tone.

Mourning dress styles echo colored gowns with strict simplicity

The article notes mourning as a simplified English style with high necks, tight cuffs, short shoulder seams, and precise fit. Deepest mourning uses crape broadly, while lighter periods keep somber tones and lusterless silks. Trim and drape are minimal, avoiding flounces, with rich street suits in Henrietta cloth or imperial serge.

Mourning Fashion Caps and Cloaks From Harper's Bazar

Basque coats with deep collars and double bracing, full skirts with crape bands, and long fur lined coats describe mourning attire. Skirts, wraps, and veils feature crape, fur borders, and lace accessories. White organdy lingerie, white crepe lisse plaitings, and black China crape fichus appear in light mourning. Widowly veils, bonnets, and jet adornments complete the array as fashion shifts from crape to lace and velvet in varying mourning stages.

Geneva professor Favre argues three mountain formation theories are similar in effect. Elevation primary with depressions secondary, or low mood primary with elevation secondary, or lateral crushing causing global earth shrinkage yet local ground rises.
