Poem excerpt from Puck reflects love’s discard pile of broken promises and faded passions. The speaker catalogs ruined tokens of courtship and failed marriages, urging the reader to buy the shattered relics as a cynical souvenir of romance.
Jim Busby comes home to Canaan after fifteen years abroad to find memories unchanged and townsfolk still eager to mock his youthful pranks. The town plans a grand statue attempt to honor him, but a sprawling hoax ends in disappointment and a quiet confession from Busby.
London News reports Edinburgh whispers that the Scottish regalia housed in the castle for over two centuries may move to Holyrood Palace during the king’s court. Bruce’s crown led the coronation line, with earlier moves during 1707 and 1817 by order of the Prince Regent.
The piece notes women earning by handwork such as parasol making and perfume bottling with lower pay, and describes a Rosa Bonheur statue in Fontainebleau by Isidore Bonheur Hippolyte Peyrol and Alexandre Jacob. It also mentions Russia's coronation robe costing 200000 dollars and a New York bride choosing fine cotton for a going away gown.
A discussion on girls receiving allowances highlights benefits for teaching money use while noting risks. It warns against penury or constant begging and urges guarding against reliance on others by demanding expenses like car fares or parlor car passes.
The passage laments minor deceptions over allowances and money in the mother's purse. It warns that petty pilfering and deceit, though small, corrode integrity and self respect and should be stopped.
The report notes thirty eight women receiving the cross of the French Legion of Honor and women gaining university admission at Helsingfors. It highlights Mrs Isabella Drake’s long Chicago life, Miss Ruth Mason's law degree, and Alice Gordon Gulick's fundraising for girls’ institutes in Spain. Dorothy Pattison Sister Dora remains noted among English statues. Edith Emery from Salem saves a train by warning a station master. Lady Glentworth recalls five reigns and a long life in Britain.
The piece catalogues golf ceilings in red or green chiffon with sticks and balls, pearl buttons on suits, soft peau de soie child sashes, and lace on black and white foulards. It notes black Chantilly lace combinations, laced sailor skirts for girls, suede handbags with steel or gold appliqué, safety pockets in canvas or chamois, linen tailor gowns with ribbon lacing, and buckles with amethyst or pearl circles on slippers.
A historic guide notes a top horse feed: grain oats eaten at the milky stage, then cured like hay, leaving nutritious straw. Horses prefer the mixed fodder cut with a fodder cutter. It also discusses cattle relief from flies using a pasture brush device as essential as shade water or food.
The article explains a brush arrangement, called the Gaylie, built from posts and boards to form a lifting brush cradle for cattle use, noting the end boards with notches and cross boards. It also argues farm waste is excessive, urging better use of cornstalks, soil, time, machinery, and capital, with farmer as shrewd manager. California fruit canners ship 50,000,000 cans a year.
A collage of vignettes depicts the Man from Yesterday facing rent demands as the Sooner preempts land, earns higher rents, and pushes the worker toward education, restraint, and eventual subservience.
