A reflective column contemplates choices and regrets from love and home life. Molly laments a costly apartment decision while the narrator muses that time and experience soften regrets and reveal life’s broader pattern. The piece cites Charles Lamb and ends with a note on accepting poetry submissions.
The piece details fabric needs for a striped satin bathing suit including six inches of daily fashion hints, bloomers, front and back waist buttoning, and a divided skirt. It notes rust issues with metal shanks, preferred fabrics like wool jersey and silk, and the season's styles such as baby socks with bathing sandals and navy satin with striped bloomers. It mentions washable satin and construction specifics for pockets and yoke, finishing with required material of navy satin for illustration.
A the Bronzed Grackle once misnamed Blackbird is described from Atlantic coasts to Rockies. Its back and wings show bronze green with purple, neck and head glow blue green and a bright yellow eye gleams like a diamond. The piece laments common misnaming and admires its vivid plumage.
The article describes Bronzed Grackles as highly social and adaptable, nesting in trees, roosting in large flocks, and following farm work to feed. It notes shifting attitudes toward blackbirds from pests to protected allies, with some crop damage attributed to fall flocks but offset by pest control in nesting months. It discusses conventions of grackle gatherings, unusual noise patterns, and varied observer accounts of their behavior and interactions with other birds.
