A Detroit Free Press anecdote describes a self assured young woman entering a store asking for suspenders and prompting a stunned clerk.

An Adder's Bite and a Notary Public's Odd Tale
A Montreal scene mixes a famed bandleader's charity with a quirky memoir. Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore tipped hotel scrubwomen five dollars each, while a notary recounts six years of service and a bond fiasco centered on boot purchases and a dying mother. The narrative shifts to a young hawk, hatched in a summer-house, growing wings, practicing talons, and learning to hunt as it eyes robins and catbirds nearby.
