A wartime vignette details a colonel who seeks a tactful orderly from among soldiers, choosing an elevator boy turned servant who finally demonstrates practical tact in a mock exchange. The piece uses dialect humor to contrast rigid military formality with streetwise wit.
The article discusses genuine coral varieties including red, pink, white, blue, yellow, green, and the rare black form. It notes red coral as highly valued for jewelry, with Mediterranean origins and Florida lime corals as reef-building. It also touches on humor about women voting and a line about alarm over women running for office.
A fragmentary humor item riffs on Mrs Styles new hat costing forty dollars and gossip about reactions. Other snippets mention clever alibis, Wright noting surgeons using electrically driven drills on skulls, and mild banter about betting and risk.
