A garbled early 20th century column reviews scandal and society, noting the New York mood toward corporate power and Judge reforms. It recounts Mrs. Emily V. Sloane aiding Dr. Mall’s poor fund and Cornelius Vanderbilt delivering a charitable bundle to a church sexton.
The report highlights Miss Rockefeller and John D Rockefeller as they dine incognito at a Broadway restaurant, where a spilled wine incident leads to polite charity from Miss Rockefeller. The piece also notes Stephen Crane’s rising literary reputation and young Crane’s modest demeanor amidst attention.
A chatter surrounds Mr. Crane as a poet who orders clothes from his tailor, with his wealth noted as equal to large capital interest. A New York society of young Indies limits bathing costumes to fifteen dollars to fund fresh air initiatives, signaling a strict reform of fashion and thrift at elite resorts.
