Jenny Hazen argues against rag carpet making in a Western Rural column. She lists many costs and risks including time, worn garments, new cloth, missed other duties, low pay per yard, cold upstairs weaving, costly dye stuffs, and negative effects on health and family harmony. An Iowa editor joke on human anatomy ends the snippet.

A Woman's Dream and Other Fragments From Old Columns
A dreamy prose vignette describes a woman Angeline in moonlit gaze and whispered thoughts about a blue fringe on a new walking suit. The piece shifts to brief notes on Suez Canal maintenance issues, odd fish lore, and satirical clippings about advertising and political commentary from early 20th century columns.
