The Cri de Paris notes Maj William Orpen, painter of peace conference works, once feared he was ugly as a youth. He copied antique models to gain beauty, once hoping to copy Venus de Milo, but was assigned The Dancing Faun instead. A humor piece then teases matrimony timing with a quip about proposing in an airplane.
A San Francisco after dinner speech quotes Harold Bell Wright arguing that financial success proves a book's merit. It compares famous works, a tramp tale, and ends with a quip about cow bells and jazz, attributed to the Birmingham Age-Herald.
A simple guide for hosting a Christmas time children's party with entertainment ideas. It suggests games like blind man’s buff and hide and seek, a fishing pond with wrapped trinkets, a fortune teller corner, an owl prop for questions, a decorated refreshment table with a Christmas pie, a small gift box display, and a lantern procession as children go home.

A Louisville Courier Journal excerpt shows a crude exchange between a young Indy and a typist about insulting language. The typo riddled overheard dialogue hints at a broader culture clash and raises questions about respectful communication.
