Dress Millennium and a Husband Happy Essay
A fragment from a 19th century style column discusses fashion and social mores. It mentions a Woman's Club prize for an essay on making a husband happy, won by a fifty-seven year old spinster who wrote three words: "Feed the brute." It also notes Mrs. Hepburn supporting artisanal studios, Washington society money and taste, and dress guidance to appear taller. It adds a piece on 4000 year old dress styles studied by Signor Mosso and a warning against scowling, urging pleasant manners and appearance.
