The Kimball Graphic and a tale of love in Dakota
A long mixed page from a Kimball Dakota issue blends a newspaper notice with a serialized story. It follows Joan and her cousin Ethel amid romance and class under the watchful eye of auntie, Hart Holman, and Raoul De Vere, culminating in a secret marriage proposal thwarted and reversed by courage and loyalty. The piece also includes a curious aquarium anecdote about cod fish swallowing ballast stones to stay submerged during gales.
