Browne Perriman in Yankee Blade presents a flirtatious conceit about a man’s moral struggle when confronted by flirtatious signs of romance. The verse questions whether he would resist or pursue, ending with a reflective note on guarding a woman’s heart.
A Philadelphia tale details a retired street, century-old houses, and a quiet household where two women and a 14 to 15 year old boy inhabit a life shadowed by a husband's long absence and a beguiling past. After his confession of a prior love and a split between wife and mistress, the husband’s illness mounts as the two women confront truth. In Brooklyn the trio discovers the man’s double life, and the wife chooses to forgive, helping the mistress and child. The ending centers on a noble wife embracing her rival and the child, despite the pain of the story.
A dying man receives blessing from a sisterly pair who comfort him at his bedside for days. After his death the wife welcomes the sister and her child into the family. The bond deepens over the years, a testament to shared grief and kinship.
Practical household tips cover cooking dried fruit with hot water for better flavor, camphor gum to prevent tarnish on new silver, avoiding soap on silver, drying lace curtains stretched on a sheet, scrim curtains ironed lengthwise, swathing a child’s throat to ease coughs, and a French cook’s crust method using less water and flour mixed with lard for flaky pie crust.
The guide outlines patent leather shoes and white or pearl-gray gloves with narrow back stitching. It bans turn-down roll collars with full dress, permits link cuffs, favors white-lawn self tying cravats, and disapproves the black full dress cravat. Shirts should have plain linen bosoms with two eyelets and two linen studs, three when wearing a tuxedo jacket.
The item lists a string of incidents and adjournments from the era: Minnesota lawmakers adjourn for the day, a New York prisoner dies by suicide, General Gibbon retires with Colonel Kautz succeeding, a Lake Charles man shoots a preacher during services, a bridge dare ends badly, a Chicago candidate goes insane, a Brooklyn real estate man dies, a whiskey secretary faces indictment, a child abduction ends as a ravine incident, and a quip of clerical satire closes the column.
At a distance readers unable to Salt should request a question blank for reception and consultation paralobs. The notice lists Nos. 1 and 2 Fair Block at the corner of Illinois Street and Jackson Place in Indianapolis Indiana for inquiries.
