A list of old time recipes and kitchen tips covers corn muffins and fruit muffins, batter breads and popovers, biscuits and pound cakes. It includes batter bread with milk and cornmeal, popover technique, Charleston muffins, a half pound cake variant, peanut butter biscuits, and beef stuffed potatoes with cheese as tempting finishes. Musical verse repeats about nightingales and time.
A New York fashion sketch notes the rise of abbreviated gowns and short sleeves as the spring 1920 mode. Observers see streetwear that looks evening-like, with hats and gloves, and designers like Callot Paquin and Madeleine et Madeleine showcasing long waistlines and fluid skirts for American figures.
The article advises drinking a glass of water first thing after waking and a hot saline wash for cleansing the alimentary canal. It promotes whole wheat dishes soaked overnight, served with milk and sugar, plus various breakfast breads and fruit, with cereals cooked overnight or during evening prep.
A compact guide to cheese based recipes and quick melters. It covers hot cheese sandwiches using thin bread and butter, luncheon biscuits with melted cheese, cottage cheese salad with onions and peppers, cheese with Brussels sprouts over toast, tomato rarebit with tomato pulp and egg, and a cheese and celery salad with Parmesan and French dressing.
Lakes are numerous in the northern part of this country and rare in the southern part because atmospheric effects and water carry solid matter from elevations to low basins, tending to level land and fill lake basins.
In late season style reports, serge recedes as taffeta dominates dinners and dances. Designed gowns pair taffeta foundations with tulle or organza, while black satin evening dresses gain rhinestone embroidery, reflecting Paris trends and American adaptation.
The spring millinery favors loose flowing veils worn over hats with front length just below the eyes. Embroideries and applique work vary, with black patent leather or oilcloth appliques on net in bands or cut-out designs. Raffia ornaments and jade green raffia on black or brown net create striking effects.
Big silk bags remain in use alongside numerous small reticules and leather purses. Counter displays show silk bag models, including a black twill version and a diamond-patterned example, amid other purse styles and draw-card offers.
A playful dialogue between two chickens, Charlie and Chal, explores superstitions about feather preening and rain. They debate mood driven actions and recall a cheeky clothesline prank that amused local people, ending with a mother and son moment about a school pie.
A missionary built a church for Eskimos on Blackhead Island Cumberland Sound using seal skin stretched over whalebone girders and tin as seating. Cold and hunger struck the Riski mos and animals as dogs consumed the skin, leaving only whalebone ribs. Another missionary created a snow church with a snow tent pulpit altar and interior gear, famed for its warmth.
A rugged exchange in the Home Sector recalls the Wild Cat Eighty-Orst division moving through Florida and Carolinas. An engineer questions insignia, a buck calls it a wildeat, then a joke about a wild cat becomes a tame pussy. Grotesque flourishment and a quip about Easter coloring follow.
A fragmentary dialogue contrasts Seema Bo and She-Do on girls who dance, followed by a punchline about being left if they are not considered right, then a note elevating good books in life and work.
