A New York Star fashion note surveys winter hats with tall crowns and slim brims inspired by Jersey designs. It highlights nets, stockingette, feathers, ribbons, and exotic beads for hats, jackets, and dresses. Jewelry pieces include elaborate belts, pins, bracelets, and diamond accents with high prices and luxury appeal.
The piece surveys feather fans in cream white and green, ostrich oval designs, lace fans with hand painted motifs, and mother of pearl sticks. It notes matching silver fans to outfits, embroidery on plastrons and accessories, and three sizes of buttons, including jeweled and gem-set styles, for decorative use rather than function.
The article outlines accepted forms for full dress and day wear, detailing swallowtail use at night, Prince Albert outings, and evening coat variations. It notes collar styles, vest alignment, fabric options, and fur trimming names while citing imperial fashion terms and examples from Philadelphia Tunes.
The article discusses Sirius retreat speeds from twenty miles per second before 1575 to two miles per second in 181, then approaching. It details rag pickers selling worn shoes to wallpaper manufacturers, who grind leather into pulp for embossed leather papers and wall coverings. A New York reporter notes chocolate consumption growth from 24,000 to 54,000 bags in five years and traces chocolate’s rise as a staple flavor and healthful food. It includes a joke about a shoe shopkeeper joining the Methodist Church to boost prices and donations.
Gossip column discusses The Girl With the Parasol and advises men to beware. It contrasts parasol poised femininity with sharp wits and potential pain, then shifts to a philosophical piece on women's lot, education, and social expectations.
A long miscellany mixes health and grace discussions with horse riding tips and anecdotes about architects. It moves to political squibs from the 1830s and sketches of old Senate days, with humorous asides on inspections, design conceits, and a quip about Alaska.
