June 17 Flag Day marks a peace movement display as women model dove wing hats in tulle. Miss VisInts Rappe promotes peaceful attire replacing military coats, urging garments to reflect America’s call for world peace. The piece notes Rappe’s earlier “American Beauty Girl” fame and her WWI era activism.
The piece argues that excessive curiosity by wives can threaten marriage while a loyal, unobtrusive wife preserves harmony. It praises Eliene’s strength and compassion, notes a forthcoming Schumann-Heink article, and includes a narrative of Dick visiting Eliene to relay news.
Conflicted husband Dick Gragj receives a call about Ellene's critical condition. The family awaits a surgeon's consultation as Harry Rojdinian reports Ellene may be near death. Dick fears divine judgment for past sins against her and their relationship.
A fragment discusses dangers of impure drinking water during picnics and roadside wells. It mentions typhoid risks, checking sources, and ensuring water is clear and safe before consumption. The piece then shifts to a personal reflection scene with a surgeon advising a patient’s wife, highlighting concern, communication, and emotional strain.
A fragmentary storage note by Caroline Coe mentions a storeroom with a window and screen, two supply boxes, and a bookcase. It references keeping cheesescloth and other items, with instructions to place contents in a bottom box and to manage access from a board toss.
