The Indianapolis Sun letter from Rev Marguerite Rice urges balanced views on temperance and female dress. The editors praise her earnest preaching while noting concerns about immodest styles and their moral impact. They argue hard drinking harms more than fashion and remind readers that women have only recently gained freedom from gilded and drudging roles.
A writer asks if friends should fund a large advance to publish a book. Publishers often read submissions and decide quickly, rejecting both poor and certain profitable works. If rejected, keep writing, seek other publishers, and maintain a day job while pursuing publication.

William F. Kirk recalls a family night riding home on a streetcar after seeing a clean moral play titled the Sheet Gown Girl. Pa favors a taxi while Ma prefers the streetcar.
