A fragmented mix of humorous prose about a stubborn bachelor, household hints, and retro recipes. The piece includes quips about courtship, stray gossip, and kitchen advice, followed by miniature recipes for orange strips Turkish Delight and a roast chicken garnish.
A fragmentary column mixes children fare and homecraft notes. It recalls a mother bidding her children farewell at eight and shifts to culinary advice praising bay leaves and simple potato and bacon dishes for breakfast or luncheon.
A quirky set of culinary proverbs extols bacon grease over lard for basting meat loaf, advises chilling fish plates in cold water then washing with ammonia water, and praises baking potatoes with skin on in a hot oven to reduce waste.
A vintage note emphasizes color schemes to boost curb appeal and sale price. It advises studying color books from National Lead Company offering a Houseowner's Painting Outfit No 49 with test instruments and weatherproof pure white lead. The piece ends with a light joke about starch and dresses.
A collage of old ad copy and anecdotes recounts cures for skin itch and swelling, a dramatic doctor scene, a ministerial fashion remark, foot powder promotion, a cook joke, eye drops, a healing tonic claim, and a note on watch escapements in a dated 1900s to 1910s tone.
A collage of quips and questions from daily life feature a Polish Hole pun, a sober refusal to drink, a wife’s veto on smoking, and a jokey chorus about naughty shows. The page offers spoof quotes, fake testimonials, a patent medicine gag, a steely eyed bid for a clarinet, and promotional blurbs for Rough on products, Castoria’s familiar bottle, and a tropics joke.
