Fragments Reflect Postwar Worries and Coinciding Humor
A June 20, 1919 column surveys postwar stress in travel and finance, jokes on taxes and alimony, and comments on peace treaty delays. It also ponders highbrow theater, demobilization, and the return of American dead, with notes on saver policies, farm mobility, and public mood in a varied digest of letters, anecdotes, and commentary.
