A New York Evening World style piece notes a rise of matron of honor and usher stages at weddings, with bridesmaids facing roving groomsmen in some cases. It discusses how these shifts alter traditional weddings, and reflects on drawing room lighting and interior decor trends shaping domestic life.
A description details a black satin gown with lavender panne velvet edging and black French knots. The yoke and sleeves feature black silk Spanish lace over lavender with a black velvet collar. Peculiar side pleats reappear at the back and the curved belt enhances a straight front corset silhouette.
The article offers decor and grooming guidance from a bygone era. It discusses piano lighting setups using wall brackets or candle brackets on the instrument, then shifts to hair perfuming methods and accessory ideas. Instructions include scented powders, musk extracts, and creating inexpensive hair receivers with cuffs and decorative flowers.
A domestic vignette describes a straight front skirt with a large front hook and back hooks for fullness, a fitted yoke, and an orange taffeta chemise with an Egyptian braid trim. It also extols a hair receiver for bedrooms, criticizing lack of small containers to hide morning toilette deposits.
A fragment describes cooking steps for cheese balls, split pea soup, baked apples in claret, and chicken patties. It details mixing cheese with crumbs and eggs, soaking peas, boiling with beef, drying apple slices, frying, and assembling pastry patties with minced chicken.
A fragment from a Washington Star exchange shows Miss Cayenne and a speaker debating beauty types. The dialogue humorously notes admiration for only two features, piondes and brunettes, in a brief literary snippet.
A Philadelphia Record item recalls a joke hoax about making neighbors leave by posting a scarlet fever sign, then escalating with trombone lessons to drive them away.
A brief dialogue exchanges a remark about needing a chaperon for a theater outing. The mother notes it depends on the man, reflecting social expectations in a Brooklyn context.
A curious piece discusses the Oak Pruner Eliphidion Villorum with details of its life cycle and tree damage. It then shifts to practical dairy farming advice stressing hand-raising calves, feeding routines, and the principle that growth equals feed, care, and consistent effort.
A Commercial Gazette writer argues for hand feeding calves rather than letting them suck from cows. Early milk boosts stomach function and mothering instinct, then transition to skim milk with oil meal jelly. Feed grains, hay, and stall cleanliness to prevent scours, with eggs or wheat flour as remedies if diarrhea appears.
A writer urges mixing ground feed with milk to keep calves healthy while noting opposition from critics. The passage recalls harsh attacks from scouts tied to this guidance and acknowledges that some calves respond poorly to the practice.
