A Paris fashion craze for jeweled and plated heels fails to catch on in the United States with shoe dealers denying any near term adoption. Flat rubber soled sneakers gain popularity among both sexes, while comfort and eyewear care tips from Mme La Place accompany the piece.
A home remedy for a broken heel suggests applying inner skin from a fresh egg to soothe pain and aid adhesion, with absorbent cotton for comfort. A fashion update notes side slashes on petticoats, soft taffetas and pompadour designs, accordion pleats, silk ruffles, and lace bandings finishing pastel shades.
Advice on making petticoats emphasizes using silk satin pougee or washable fabrics for stronger seams and better fit. Crepe de chine is favored for cling and wear, available washable in colors, and easily pleated. Petticoats should fit over the hips on straight lines with a slight back fullness for suits while avoiding bulk under panels.
A woman explains the best way to prevent wrinkles is to avoid habitual facial motions. She warns that laughing crying frowning and smiling only cause wrinkles if done routinely. Persistent scowling or wrinkling during study or conversation leads to deep forehead and eye wrinkles.
Useful hints show how threading to the spool saves time and thread. Tips include winding a long piece onto the spool, using narrow silk ribbon to mend umbrella tears, looping silk ribbon on French nightrobes, and using silk soutache braid for drawstrings. Soaking spools in water overnight prevents puckering.
A collection of household hints includes placing zinc on coals to vent stove soot, adding soda to berry pies to prevent overflow, dipping mush in egg white for crisper results, adding sugar to stove polish for shine, camphor to deter mosquitoes, tying parcels with existing string, and using greased cloth to lift baked fish from pan.
Fragmented musings on love and modern relationships from a female perspective. The piece contrasts male and female approaches to romance, marriage, and social expectations, noting flirtation, engagement, and the idea of proposing. It uses light satire to comment on beauty, time, and commitment.
A fragment discusses fashion notes about the distinction between tailor made and ready made garments, implying tailored styles offer lasting appeal while ready made options are readily available and adequate. The tone hints at ongoing debate on quality versus convenience.
