New York Night Life and Valor Tales From Prohibition Era
A bustling column sketches New York social scenes with Mrs Curtis Dull back from Washington at the Prosperity Club, odd roving sightings near Rockefeller Center, and drink era signs. It shifts to medal collecting by Joseph Wittenberg, noting values of medals and the practice of pawnbrokers offering loans against them, plus a humorous Civil War tale.
