Gowns by Paquin and a Divining Rod in Newport Society
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs faces dinner talk on fashion with Paquin gowns noted for V shapes. A Californian tale follows of a 200 year old divining rod used to locate water and metals, brought to America by Isaac Greenleaf. Pieces shift to a Paris Metropolitan Opera performance and to social commentary on a preacher’s daughter and a curious ribbon anecdote. The column closes with satirical notes on a Southern stereotype in New York and the use of such caricatures in literature.

They had claimed eight cents would cause losses, yet continue to sell at eight, presenting themselves as philanthropists. Purchasers paying eight cents may feel treated as objects of charity.
