Frustrated prose and social notes from a 1897 issue
A crowded column surveys mood and manners with satirical quips on marriage and folly. It cites a Philadelphian father with many children, peeks at English peerage lines, notes Eugene Meld’s youngsters, and mocks political clashes as Tom Johnson of Ohio heads to New York. The Savannah News urges Georgia legislators to grant women all university access, arguing women balance work and life and must be admitted to professions and colleges as men are. The Virginian weighs in on expansion of coeducation and the day when women share the same footing as men.
