A rambling vintage kitchen article outlines breakfast ideas and recipes. It covers corn mush items and succotash style dishes, a cottage cheese alternative, fig and nut confections, and various pies. It cites habits and health notes, urging balanced meals, with cooking tips and anecdotal dialogue.
Fashion notes describe frocks for girls using Scotch plaid worsted in blue black and yellow with black velveteen, including a small kilted shirt waist and velvet trims. Suggestions cover making with velvet or velveteen, plaid, chambray, or linen, plus variations for eight to ten year olds and the season’s use of black velvet, embroidery, and simple collars. It also surveys French corset trends, straight jackets, wide girdles, and evolving silhouettes for street and evening wear.
In fashion notes, dark green emerges as a strong rival to dark blue, with jade tones praised for stylish women who can wear the shade. Oriental jade adornments and soft gold gowns with jade beads are highlighted, while critics warn against war colors being exploited during conflict.
Practical household hints describe a pincushion on a sewing machine for pins, netting for large stocking holes to be darned, and straight sleeve casings to ease ironing. A refreshed eyes exercise suggests dipping the face in water to relax tired eyes, with multiple brief cycles.
A versatile motor coat described as stylish yet utilitarian in black and dark crimson velvet with rubber fine detailing and large bone buttons centered in gold. The design emphasizes practicality for varied uses while maintaining a distinctive flamboyant appearance.
The Dry Goods Economist notes two fair proportions of suits, with strictly tailored styles and dressier options. Tailored coats run long, reaching above or below the knee, with many designs showing a fitted waist and slight fullness while maintaining a straight line silhouette.
The article suggests treating last year’s scarfs in many ways to improve appearance. Methods include crocheted ball borders, three pompons from one strand, and replacing tassels with metal or wood balls. A new fabric called Jerealine, a velour wool jersey, is highlighted as an even better option.
Wartime shortages drive fashion toward narrower skirts and simpler sewing patterns. The era favors practical yet stylish looks with two yard skirt widths, long waists, gathered tunics, and fur bands, while top coats pair with one piece dresses replacing tailored suits.
William A. Radford presents guidance on Dutch Colonial house design stressing balance and exterior treatment. He describes two main roof styles, details on window treatments, dormers, and brick entryways, illustrated by a modern eight room example with casement windows and decorative shingles.
A feature contrasts simple and multi gabled Dutch Colonial homes focusing on roof slope, window patterns, and interior lighting. It notes how symmetry, dormer scale, and wall height affect appearance and room proportions, plus brief segments on jewelry, butter saving, and seasickness biology.
Alfalfa or medicago sativa traces to Asia, entered the Americas with Spanish exploration, and was brought to San Francisco in 1854 from Chile. It has grown into a major forage crop in the western and southwestern United States, contributing about a quarter of tame hay and nearly 20 percent of all hay. The 1926 alfalfa hay production reached nearly 23 million tons. The piece also includes a separate reflection on self awareness and helpfulness.
A father narrates to Jimmie and Jamie about pygmy and full sized hippos. The tale contrasts habitats and sizes, recounts their travels to a zoo, and reflects on appetite for movement versus staying put. Interwoven are childlike scenes with cousins, boats, baskets, and a gentle moral.
A backstage exchange reveals strain as a stage supervisor announces quitting after a Bos ton remark. The Supe resists, claiming trouble arises from insults like bean supe and a clash over identity. A punchline contrasts socialist and specialist with a joke about ownership.
A Munese solicitor tries to sell the second Liberty bond issue to a notorious tightwad. The man quips his baby swallowed the bond button and his cat chewed the receipt.
