In the midst of the house hold chatter we note daily arrivals of wild xenowatl offerings. We visited Se Kieleres doarkels and have just returned, finding space to exhibit the wealth of attractive goods and the value in purchases and comparisons.
A local shop promotes an extensive display of carpets and curtain materials. It claims unprecedented sales, 100 cents value per dollar, and a wide range of fabrics and floor coverings including damask venetian, moquettes, linoleum, matting, and drapery fabrics. Visitors are invited to see the latest styles and special lines.
An advertisement highlights all wool suitings and combinations in exceptional value, plus Henrietta cloths including Priestley and Priesley suits in black and color. It markets American and French latinos fabrics, gingham, lawns, summer flannels, white goods, Swiss lace, and beaded wraps. Broadcloth jackets in black and color, Jersey jackets, and a note to see jackets before buying accompany the showcase.
A local advertisement lists silk gimps in all colors, Persian bands, trimming braids, girdles, fancy veilings, and Selicias ladies wear. It promotes ribbons, hair pins, soaps, and fashionable lostery plus solid color buripes. It also highlights ladies Jersey underwear in white cream pink and blue and a range of gloves and mitts in silk lisle kid and cotton.
An unnamed narrator recounts a Christmas Eve earthquake near Bordighera Italy. His dream mirrors the disaster as he searches for Ina, finds her entombed beneath debris, and rescues her with help from Reginald Doone’s mother. Father and daughter reunite in England as Ina and the narrator pledge love in a final scene from Once a Week.
A painter endures sleepless nights chasing a dream face for his vision. After painting a lifelike, haunting woman, his work titled The Vision is shown at the Royal Academy. The artist discovers the model in the real world, named Lina, whose portrait commands 2000 guineas, and follows clues to Paddington station where the couple escapes in a first class carriage. The tale blends mystic visitation with artistic fever and pursuit.
A fragmentary paste of 19th century clippings discusses famous kisses from history and the Gordon Highlanders tale, then shifts to social mores and the dangers of overpressure in schools. It notes a ministering tone by readers and a family tale of mock marriage, ending with Samuel Jones managing a school for his children in Delaware.
