In a satire from My Lady’s Pictorial, a fanciful plot imagines a conventlike service order where mistresses hire Zitines, wives of labor, bound to strict rules, weekly fault chapters, and endless devotion. The strange arrangement highlights social pretensions and faux spiritual labor within a tongue in cheek domestic fantasy.
A witty tale recalls Mrs. Hartley-Dunne proposing an Order of Domestic Servants named St Zita. The scheme includes lectures, clubs, a vegetarian restaurant, and humorous rules for Zitines, with the narrator bemused by the grand but impractical project and its canonization joke.
A veteran elephant trainer describes the perilous life in circuses, detailing why bull men stay in a deadly line of work. He notes elephants are the most dangerous animals, with moods that shift rapidly, rogue outbreaks, and fatal risks for keepers, while highlighting pay disparities and the fatalistic mindset among those who handle the giants.
