As the World Moves Slow in Society's Gaze
Irene Warden writes of a summer flirtation with Horace Matlock as she pursues a rich bachelor in a small town. Cynthia Thornton, daughter of a paralyzed professor, captures Matlock’s attention during drives in a champagne colored trap, while Miss Warden notes her rival’s charm and hints at a rival’s fate as Cynthia wins his interest. The tale shifts to a Revolutionary era anecdote and modern career advice, with woven vignettes of humor and social pressure.

Not Ambitious for Father A New Hampshire Lad
A New Hampshire man with past political runs notices a six year old with a tale about kings and succession. The boy asks who would be king if the King of England dies and the mother explains the Prince of Wales. The child then quips that his father won’t seek the throne. A wall boy comments on petty acts and school discipline while a local joke line notes doctors and aging great men.
