Picnic Polka Delights and a Cousin’s Witty Shakeup
A Galveston social debutante performs a piano piece titled Picnic Polka in a humorous clash of music and wit. Her audience, including a country cousin, yields jokes on tempo and courtship as the piece evokes forest sounds and a thunderous finale. The anecdote closes with a quip about a custard pie remark. The Galveston News notes two other items: a court case in Enfield on whether a father can restrict a daughter’s marriage in a bequest, and Seth Green’s fish protection plan promising more fish per capita in five years.
