New Woman Verse and Slang in Society
A mid century tone discusses a new woman preferring independence over costly marriage, with verse urging self reliance. The piece also critiques slang among young women as eroding refinement and respect, urging proper English and social decorum. It concludes with a short recipe for making sour milk biscuits, including proportions and steps.
