The description contrasts a woman’s thin patent leather shoes and gossamer stockings with a club member’s large sable hat. Speakers remark on warmth and style, quipping that “warm heads and cold feet” explain why the girls this winter are so stupid.
A traveling man recounts a southern Kansas incident on a express train. A man rushes in asking for whisky after a woman in the smoking car faints. He drinks the largest bottle, saying it helps him feel better to see a woman faint.
A local exchange from the Younkers Statesman notes churchgoers discuss why the contribution plate is passed before sermons. The remark hints at reflections on community habits as worship begins.
A town resident visits a grocery and asks for a good breakfast cereal. The clerk presents a package claiming it is two predigested food. The woman asks who makes it in a light joke reported by Woman's Home Companion.
