A writer recalls balancing kitchen work with art in San Francisco. He describes mixing culinary mishaps with creative effort, burning porridge, overcooked sponge cake, and water-doused mashed potatoes, yet colleagues forgave faults with laughter. The piece contrasts eastern idealism with occidental pragmatism in a playful tone.
A jumble of comic vignettes and dialogue follows stenographer Sadie and manicurist Mame as they gossip about a case of mistaken orders at a furniture firm. The piece shifts to flirtatious domestic humor with Kuroki and an artist, then to satirical sketches of cinema, politics, and aviation, ending with a jab at aviation rivalry and the Aero Club.
A collection of light witted exchanges and quips from the Buffalo Express. Refined social humor contrasts ancestors voyages on the Mayflower with modern liners and missing stationery monograms. A sports pun note ends with a boxer referencing sate receipts and bigger figures.
A newlywed writes of settling in a lovely house and two standout servants Mary the cook and Norah the waitress both charming and capable. She frets over housekeeping lessons and market mistakes while recounting a chance meeting with Mr. Sinclair and plans to pair him with Eleanor. She worries about jealousy and prepares for her first dinner as a married woman at the Dentons.

An array of verse and prose passages weave through reflections on death and fate by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, interlaced with rustic tales of Lem, mishaps on a farm, and a daughter's affectionate letter to Peggy Caton.
