A collage of vignettes on urban vanity and social manners. It contrasts Uncle Silas Sassafras arguing hotel charges with observations on New York women, southern atmospheres, and fashion sensibilities, then shifts to a Boston matron outwitting tramps by lacing coffee with cotton oil, and ends with stage ambitions and witty remarks from the Buffalo Courier.
