Social fashion critique of New York society summer
The piece surveys a revival of warmth and cordiality in society life, noting a shift away from cynical criticism toward an optimistic "new pose." It describes how wealth, beauty, and social prowess are weighed, but the host of anecdotes shows social judgments remain sharp as groups discuss a potential match for Miss Lovey Dovey and observe friendlier manners amid a busy social circuit.

History Repeated in Motor Speed Craze of 60 Horsepower
The Springfield Republican notes a persistent fascination with dangerous fast driving. It recalls early 19th century English aristocracy racing four-in-hand carriages down perilous hills, as Conan Doyle described in Rodney Stone, and compares it to modern 60 horsepower motors reaching seventy miles per hour, implying risky bravado across eras.
