A 1926 guide explains that a tiny cinder in the eye causes pain and possible damage. It advises using a clean cotton-wrapped toothpick, proper lid handling, and gentle brushing to locate and remove the speck, or sending the patient to a doctor if difficult. It warns against forcing the eyeball and notes risks from infections and improper care.
The piece argues that health achievements gain public interest when tied to personalities, praising Maj. Gen. William C. Gorgas as the standout figure. It credits the Gorgas Memorial Institute with a promising effort to advance health protection through strong leadership and public appeal.
A New York report notes spring fashion favors ensembles rather than mere suits. Coats, often long to dress hems, form two or three piece outfits with tailored materials and straight backs. Plaits and wrap arrangements create room for movement while belt slips and side plaits define the silhouette.
A description of kasha and printed silk fabrics used for dresses and ensembles. The text notes neutral toned kasha and colorful printed silks as a combination in garment design and styling.
Pink remains the top color for dance dresses with a range from pale apple blossom to deep sunset pink. Styles showcased include a pale pink ribbon frock with silver accents and dark blue contrast, and a layered tulle gown shaded from pale pink to fuchsia with silver lace detail and tafetta ribbon sash.
Jersey fabrics gain prominence as a rival to cashmere in outerwear. The text notes woven and knitted blends with kasha plaid striped fabrics and leather, describing close knit textures resembling woven cloth. Two piece Chanel inspired dresses feature front fullness and cravat collars in knit fabrics. Sleeveless dresses grow in popularity with matching themes.
This feature traces fabric names to historical sources. It links blankets to Thomas Blanket, shawls to flour coverings, bandanna to Indian gandaunna, Jeanson to money terms, and other fabrics like momie, tweed, panne velvet, pique, and chenille to French or regional roots with brief explanations of their original uses and meanings.
A noted milliner creates a large crin capeline hat with a four rose cyan hue brim that turns downward. The brim is trimmed with matching ribbon and a ribbon bow sits at one side of the crown, continuing a long fashion rule.
A description of new spring hats features gold embroidery with latticework of paste stones. The designs are circular and close fitting, highlighting jewel like detailing on turbans.
Tiny boudoir pillows feature bright taffeta fabrics bound with linen tape. Designers craft conventional and symmetrical patterns using the tape to form decorative shapes.
In a small town talk, Making good means holding a position and wealth. Mahoney is called making good by success in money and status, but the narrator doubts his real contributions. George Sutton, by contrast, is praised as making good through steady work, family, and community respect.
A narrator recalls a long treasured hope chest left by an uncle filled with linens and keepsakes. He and Elizabeth discuss marriage, a grandfatherly philosophy of optimism, and the idea of preparing a separate chest for married life while reflecting on family temperaments and future needs.
