A Sailor's Sweetheart
The death of Capt. Herbert Hartwell recalls how he wooed Ann Elizabeth Haworth sixty years ago. Hartwell, a Lake Erie sailor, returned from a summer voyage with a belt of gold cartwheels and a cameo pin for Elizabeth, whose father Farmer Haworth disapproved. A storm at the Michigan coast stranded two schooners, Volusia B and Huron, but Hartwell’s half-brother saved the Huron crew, altering perceptions and fate in Hamburg.

Fashionable London Sports Women and Odd Fruit Salons
In London fashion pages, sports women adorn the forefoot of their horses with a broad gold band bearing the initial of the thoroughbred. Dining notes mention four freshly opened oysters on half shell with lemon and brown bread. Kitchen tips warn against serving gamey soup with birds and tomato soup with accompanying vegetables. A new footrest is a huge red silk tomato filled with curled hair scented with orris root, and a cucumber roll of tinted silk for furniture. Smaller versions exist as table favors and pen wipers.
