A note on coffee imports: Americans consume about 14.5 pounds per person yearly, with total imports around 955 million pounds in a recent year, led by Brazil and other American nations.

In a Sunday sermon to a fashionable girls’ school in New York City, Reverend W R Huntington asks under what conditions a city or a woman can be “a lady forever.” He argues true ladyship rests on dignity gentleness fortitude and sympathy rather than rank or wealth. He defines ladyship as womanhood at its best and urges graduates to cultivate these traits to balance material progress with spiritual and cultural riches.
