Ladies push for summer store closures and social reforms
The Monticello ladies lead a reform wave after the most beautiful woman ballot question. They push eight hour days, equal pay, and a 6 pm store closing with a new bureau of information and plans for evening entertainments. They hint at a polling place for the "Most Popular Man" as part of broader civic activism. The note includes local social chatter and temperance lectures and a gypsy fortune teller anecdote.
