A Brattleboro neighbor describes Rudyard Kipling with fairness and blunt humor, noting his scathing printed comments but genial, if untidy, manners in person. The piece contrasts Kipling’s public sharpness with a softer private persona and hints at class judgments in social perception.
E. J. Glave reports in Harper's Young People on midday village routines where both genders participate in elaborate hair styling.
