A collage of quirky snippets: a gaswell joke, a store clerk quip, a soprano remark, and light social bits. It notes a sea captain doom, a gendarme query, a pedicab dog, a dogged gossip, and a princess in Anna. Various odds and ends include a post office job, a Persian shah photographer, and a New York expressman with an honest check.
