Timekeeping errors and era notes mix with social satire
A scattered 1900s column blends leap year debates with biblical names and social commentary. It critiques New York society's Four Hundred, taunts Ward McAllister, and references Delancey Kane and Chicago politics. The piece also touches on police counts, immigrant issues, labor leaders, and local ads, closing with a mink fur overcoat sale notice.
