Frances L. Garside laments a pup raised in a flat city dwelling. The piece contrasts a dog’s natural life in a yard with the confined existence atop a high floor, where elevator noises replace birds and a leash becomes his lot. The essay condemns urban confinement as a loss of instinct and vitality.
A reminiscence poem recounts a youth in singing lessons failing to hit tune due to flat notes. The speaker recalls pride, a joking moment, aging, and a lifelong loss of ambition while continuing to find music in memory despite imperfect voice.
An essay on personal responsibility. It argues that fate and wind are not the determinants of life but the set of the soul. Self blame and reform follow honest self assessment, citing a man who rejected excuses and chose a virtuous life after prison.
A 19 year old woman asks if it is improper to call a young man for friendly conversation. The advisor warns against appearing in love by phone, suggests letting him initiate contact, and advises modest, pleasant behavior to avoid seeming desperate while leaving room for genuine affection to develop.
A lighthearted yet pointed reflection on women marrying for a home and the miseries of footwear at a cotillon. The author uses a party memory of tight slippers to argue against marrying for security and to highlight the tension between social expectations and personal happiness.
The skirt strap described as a functional self fabric thong on heavy cloth skirts for a neat narrow look. A snippet contrasts sewing details with a romance monologue urging honesty, resilience, and choosing love over deceit, urging prudent domestic life and singlehood over loveless marriage.
A series of brisk exchanges on Hamlet mismatches and love, with quips about famous names and humorous misunderstandings. The dialogue features a heiress and a duke, a magnate gifting a college a million for a degree, and playful banter about writing books and appearances.

A reflective poem asks where the landfall will be after a long voyage and whether the ultimate harbor will bring rest or further striving. The speaker ponders vision, rest, and nourishment for the soul as stars fade and sea mysteries persist. A closing joke contrasts a bum actor invoking cuss words with audience politeness.
