A fragmentary lyric note from J. W. W. in Detroit News describes night’s dread glare and two sleepers, eternal sleep closing eyes, a voice that tuned the heart to song and a shore where Hope waits. The piece speaks of longing and a haunting refrain for brighter skies after day’s decline.
A village tale of John and Elsie who clash over a sideboard and control in their cottage. After two failed weddings and public mockery, they reconcile with a third ceremony and a changed, shared partnership.
The New York Mercury records a remark that after admission the comparison between John and Elsie for submissiveness became unclear, reflecting a social or domestic dynamic cited in the piece.
A collage of literary witticisms and odd scenes appears, including a Schiller quote on mercy, a medical caveat about complications, a sleeping daughter scene with a rubber mouse, and a playful line about Reginald de Courcey at the world’s fair, plus a villain’s retreat.
The column notes chic chrysanthemum wearers and a shift to fashionable private greeting cards with chosen designs printed of a wish and name. Worth prescribes black satin gowns for middle‑aged ladies with full skirts and lace details, emphasizing front trimming and lace-draped sleeves.
A New York World excerpt outlines a recipe to chop preserved ginger into lemon ice with ginger syrup for flavor and color. It notes a photographer's tip to powder the sitter for a visibly white, smooth finish. It also presents an inexpensive furniture polish using benzine and crude oil, applied with a soft brush and dried with muslin.
An amusing anecdote describes Willy, six years old, preparing for bed as Christmas nears. His mother notes his patience in prayers, while Willy explains he has many requests since Christmas is soon. The playful remark reflects a child’s view on growing up and holiday customs.
A playful exchange from Harper's Young People mentions a doll dress made from remnants and a mamme’s wrap as Mrs Elderleigh muses on Santa’s methods. The brief vignette contrasts child curiosity with a parent’s practical joke about reuse and generosity.
Saturated with listings from Morgan & Gray and Empire, the fourth page markets showcase heavy quotas on cabbage and a wide array of provisions.
