Edinburgh Students Try to Cart In a Smoking Car
A group of Edinburgh students on a Glasgow football tour attempt to reserve a carriage. An old woman rushes in and is given a rude retort about a smoking compartment. The car fills with tobacco smoke, but the elderly traveler oddly seems pleased as she asks for a share of the pipe.

Bits of fashion and a witty quip on soap fall fashion notes
Foundation skirts are narrow with four breadths. Nightgowns use nainsook cloth trimmed with lace. Accordion plaited silk petticoats are costly yet pretty. Tea jackets in bright colors over dark skirts come in many materials. The Bolero hat with black and yellow streamers, yellow bow, and plumes is new. Dr Wilberforce, former bishop of Winchester, was nicknamed Soapy Sum for saying there is nothing like soap. Cole’s Carboli soap is promoted for toilet, bath, and nursery use.

Fashion, court, and curious notices in brief
A French woman starts a public contest to aid Antwerp fire sufferers by awarding a prize to the speaker who uses the most words in an hour. A Kansas City divorce a few days ago saw Mrs. Sarah Brown wed J Gier soon after the decree, a claim to a record. A Florida Tampa dress called rattlesnake dress attracts attention with snake skin trims including a helmet hat. A Sun notice pitches ten word ads in inner columns to reach many readers of the paper.
