Brief And Breezy Items From A Drowsy Era
A jumble of social quips and gossip notes. A dog found buried in a metal coffin in a backyard hints at odd happenings around an old maid’s home. The piece mocks noisy horns in Washington and cites divorce costs, royal chatter, and a New York school tablet to Lafayette. It mentions a bachelor club losing a president after a marriage announcement and Beatrice Bulla’s paper on negro poetry. It ends with playful lines about commodores and a dog found via want ads.
