A social essay discusses women who adapt to life by making the best of circumstances. It contrasts Kate who forsook friends and activities after her mother’s death with a bright woman who rebounded from betrayal by building a life around her children and friends, showing resilience over mere talent or wealth.
A House Beautiful column surveys home goods with bright lamps and candlesticks. Silver plated table lamps feature colored glass shades and fringe, while silk shades return in pink and beige. Novel clocks in faience, gilt, and nautical motifs accompany gilt art nouveau pieces in a study of stylish domestic adornment.
A playful listing of persons and firms using initials or puns to hint at their trades or identities. It references doctors, ministers, lawyers, paint sellers, lighting dealers, a coal man, coffin sellers, and various company names, with humorous twists on names like Drinkhouse and Black & White.
A reader seeks where to obtain Job's Tears for teething use and necklace making. The column suggests druggists or jewelers as sources and notes limited proven value beyond soothing gums. It then offers dieting, bathing, and exercise tips for slimming, plus an eye wash recipe and a blood purifier for complexion issues, urging consultation with a specialist for length goals.
The article reflects on changing fashions and social norms as the once strict Sunday gown loses its exclusivity. It contrasts past practice of reserved black silk gowns worn only on Sundays or special occasions with present day attire, noting women now dress similarly every day and church attendance remains the only distinct Sunday cue.
A guide for city dwellers to display houseplants attractively. It advocates red earthenware pots, then explains making a two part orange tree box with a biscuit tin liner, a window garden for eight to ten plants, and a four and a half foot flower pedestal. It covers construction, materials, staining, and color schemes to enhance foliage.
Public readers seek instructions on lightening a yellowed hair switch with hydrogen peroxide and various home formulas for restoring natural color, curls, and treating dandruff. Advice covers bleaching baths, herbal stains, tonics, and safe scalp applications.
