A fragmentary column recounts a flirtatious afternoon tea scene with a jealous ladies man, a shy man spurning introductions, and a comic exchange about a fat lady. It shifts to a hotel gala where new electric lights excite a guest, then to a note on Halliday refreshments. The piece closes with London Scraps noting oaths and a Beerbohm essay on fire.
The article recalls the first pantomime Cavern Bilkers by John Weaver in 1702 at Drury Lane and credits John Rice as the great institutor of pantomime in England in 1717 with later successes, noting Garrick and Quin among those inspired by pantomime.

A humorous exchange in Judge's Library quotes Jones asking about finances after marriage and his reply that he is saving money but begs not to tell his wife, illustrating humor about married life.

The article notes that peacock feathers are less feared today though still used as decoration in many homes. London shops stock them, sold cheaply as bacchanal bundles. The piece ponders if the superstition stems from peacock pride or the eye pattern predicting misfortune, while remarking on the bird’s harsh call.
