The New York Sun reports on jewelry trends for the fall season. Large ball earrings in dull gold gain popularity alongside opals and new beryl stones from American mines. Women wear abundant jewelry, bracelets, and engravings while men favor simple watch chains and restrained rings. Necklaces lag in popularity due to cost, and engagement rings feature split ends held by a gold bar. Wholesale demand rises about 25 percent versus last year, signaling a strong jewelry market.
The article surveys women’s attire from hats and gloves to crape fabrics and ball dresses, noting six to sixteen buttoned gloves and a dull silk-like all-wool crape. It discusses sun care with cucumber juice, home decor shifts to cotton curtains and straw matting, and upcoming jacket and coat styles with corduroy and diagonal buttons.
Paris resists the tailor made trend as a fashion wave, praising silk foundations and braided jackets in dark scarlet patrol styles. Summer cloth suits trend toward hair stripes and white fabrics, with garnet accents, epaulets, and Hungarian knots, while new millinery uses gold and silver and plush accents.
A collection of short pieces for children includes a humorous verse about disasters from a hole in a pocket and a vivid essay on Zulu life, motherhood, and village chores. It contrasts white and Zulu childrearing and ends with a homily on generosity and moral law.
A Chicago writer recalls riding a two inch plank V flume in the Sierra Nevada at 16 feet per thousand with an improvised yacht. The eight mile descent in eight minutes forty seconds shocks observers as Patton commands calm and brakes. A later scene on a riverboat shows a hungry boy Tim Williams saved by a reforming passenger, while anecdotes on timetable puzzles and courtly phrases end the column.
A theater scene unfolds with a father and daughter in the audience exchange playful flirtation and misread signals amid a staged quarrel. The dialogue moves from mistaken patronage to a plan for calling, ending as the curtain rises and the father retrieves an umbrella and opera glass.
Dr. J J Levick recalls George Fox traversing New Jersey and New England recording a journal of events. In 1672 Fox spent a day with Richard Hartshorne at Middletown Harbor and later faced a fatal horse accident at Shrewsbury involving John Jay of Barbadoes, with Fox attempting to revive him.
