An office romance unfolds as Tom and Jessie marry with minimal fuss. Ned and Flora guide the couple through practical matters and coordinate a wedding trip to Waukesha and a lakeside hotel. The party includes Flora, Ned, and a Chicago visit, with light comic mishaps over attire and travel.
On the fifth day of a wedding trip Ned confesses love to Flora but she rejects him. He asks her to marry him, she refuses, and he questions if their relationship ends. Flora tells him she does not love him, and he decides not to pursue marriage, and they decide to return to their companions to resume plans to fish.
A late 19th century column notes the famed Orotavo dragon tree once used as a Guanchi temple and later by Portuguese Christians before a hurricane destroyed it in 1867. It also recounts Albert Dawson's close lightning encounter, a Michigan sand spout at a farm well, a Portland Indiana pair who perished in a house fire, a frugal banker William Newton and his servant brother Sunday, and an engineering feat of the steamship Coyn built in Scotland and assembled to ply Lake Villonena between Peru and Bolivia.
A whimsical column recounts three pretty kitten names learning manners at tea with bibs and spoons. They start polite but quickly misbehave, tipping cups and spilling tea, ending in a playful moral about manners.
An amusing family tale from Inside Our Gate recounts a mild dog named Don leaping at a vegetable man at the kitchen door. The man, bleeding from ripped trousers, asks for a thread and needle, and Mother lends help followed by a shirt and cash. He buys pears and praises the dog’s excuse. The mystery of a pair of trousers later lingers in family lore.
In a rainy day story, grandma watches Ted Mary and Dick play, building a mud nest for a wasp while learning by example. A second tale follows Elsie and Jet the horse, teaching patience, gentleness, and self-control to overcome a stubborn temper through kindness.
