A guide advocating comfortable, simple children’s wear over elaborate outfits. Emphasizes machine work, easy laundering, proper fit, loose elastic suspenders, soft hats, low collars, round-toed shoes, and practical undergarments for girls to aid posture and ease of movement. Includes design notes on belts, petticoats, and footwear.
The article offers practical closet hacks for small spaces including a three foot bar for twelve garments, a broom-handle rod, a peg from a cut clothespin, strengthened hangers with ribbons and bone rings, and scented hangers with washable slip covers to keep garments fresh.
New bed covers feature cretonne and dimity in plain red or cotton taffeta with appliqued floral garlands. Lavender cretonne accents appear in windows, with neutral cream, tan, and blues offered in spreads. Dimity options come white or cream with color stripes, designed to tuck under rolls or slips, and the scene highlights beds with brass or wooden frames and retractable bolster arrangements.
The article describes dyes for wigs and fabrics, matching stockings and even smelling salts to sample colors. It suggests lavender seeds for fragrant sachets, with advice on planting and growing lavender to supply dried lavender for linen closets and bureaus.
A compilation of remarks advocating woman suffrage from leaders and thinkers. John Graham Brooks, Mark Twain, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others argue for ballot rights, linking suffrage to clean streets, fair schools, and better governance. Includes views from Higginson, Willard, Churchill, and Nightingale.
In a recalled scene near Richmond a wounded Union soldier recalls a melodious female voice that tended to him on the battlefield. The stranger’s compassionate words linger, and years later in Washington he recognizes her by voice, though he never sees the woman again.
A quirky excerpt contrasts the Mongolian nose kiss with the European lip kiss, noting each signals a person’s perception of a potential mate. It frames them as different forms of the same instinct of preservation in social exchange.
A humorous exchange between a grouchy friend and James opens with a jab about pine weather and the farm’s condition. The piece shifts to a brief note on boric acid, its volcanic origins in Tuscan fumaroles, and its rarity in earth’s rock mass.
Fragmentary dialogue mentions a will leaving a brain to a hospital and misread acknowledgments. Two speakers Brigga and Grigga discuss whether the written note pleases someone and imply minimal or humorous response. The text appears to be a humorous illustration or parody snippet with garbled words.
A period piece offers tips on child care and hygiene. Baths with seawater salt and bran are recommended, along with rose oil in olive oil for babies. Nail biting is discouraged by short nails and teaching proper grooming, while general tidiness demands children learn to mend their own clothing promptly.
From the Newdigate family archives edited by Lady Newdigate Newdigate a glimpse is offered of servants’ treatment in the 1600s.
