Curious Fragments From World Notes and Washington History
A collage of brief curiosities from Vienna to London and Washington. Notes include a female book-maker leaving, vast Vienna living quarters, rising tobacco use by French women, an illuminated cat at Washington, brunettes versus fair-haired trends, German plans to use American passenger cars, a London rug valued at 85000, and riding culture in London. A Washington house once built by Washington’s father remains overlooked, now a hotel with rooms near the 1792 layout, urging muse-like preservation rather than vandalism.
