The article condemns brutal cattle handling on West to East rail routes. Cattle arrive exhausted, starved, and trampled, many die en route or at yards. It argues for improved car design, separate stalls, food and water, and suggests public action if dealers resist reform. It also notes cruelty persists in yards and at slaughter.
Afternoon tea parties are in vogue and dark brown kids suit well. Blonde hair with a black moustache is fashionable. a gloved ring is seen as vulgar. Tyrolese hats rise in popularity. pale straw paper tint is noted. Promenade dresses shorten and blue dominates. The latest shoes bear the wearer’s monogram on the instep. Chatelaine braids fade as hair sits higher. The Boston Dip is rebaptized Glide waltz. Invites now request early arrival and hour specifics. Round hats in white muslin dress coolly. Fall bonnets promised as novel. Long country walking sticks gain appeal. cane parasols fall out of favor. Carpets vanish from country houses. pure white matting or natural wood returns with colorful rugs.
