A jumble of quips and gossip items from a Cincinnati Enquirer style column. It includes jokes about doctors, women, and witty groups, plus a riposte on Petain, a punchline about an egg plant, and a note on Sullivan county boys at Camp Taylor.
A lyrical slice from Current Magazine Fiction contrasts the brisk orchestra with social intrigue. The narrator notes a journalist’s bold interview on the first page sparks a politician’s fury and a woman's anger at her society column mention.
A fragmented column pokes fun at war and luck with The Giants versus White Sox bets and a comical Camp Atwood memory. It notes Col Bob Knotts and Wiley’s Civil War blindness, and mocks patience and readiness while recalling a pumpkin pie verse and a joke about Jonah and fish.
A humorous reminiscence notes corsets shorter, dinners at luncheon, musk melons called cantaloupes, and other slang shifts. It recalls fashion extremes predicted for 1920 and contrasts old and new terms while sharing a camp tale from Camp Taylor about dingbat Lang doing police duty collecting scraps with a steel rod.
A humorous Bloomington column notes Dick Bledsoe visiting the circus and buying a photo of the fat girl, a failing livery stable closing due to feed costs, and Rev. Eli Perkins receiving charity for winter cabbage. It mentions a court threat over a nickname, a church collection for stove pipe, a Peruvian Fish party with kissing games, and temperance lecture on hard cider.
A household tip explains that corn placed in a sieve and cooled with rapid cold water will pop faster. The kernels open larger and lighter, resulting in more flaky popcorn than other methods.
