A reflective essay explores chrysanthemums as decor, then pivots to social critique. The author mocks vanity, wealth, charity, repose, and parental influence, contrasting past dignity with modern superficiality and moral ambiguity. A young woman’s moral decline and maternal roles are examined through vivid, period-voice anecdotes.
A nostalgic, dramatic portrait of the Ladrones Islands focusing on their name origin, social life, women, houses, and customs. It describes the islanders, Chamorro population shifts, dances, meals, governance, and church schooling, concluding with a female author credit.
A late 19th century style guide notes the social difficulty of requesting invitations for guests especially among women. It advises clear mention of the friends named in the request, warns against bringing uninvited companions, and explains country versus town norms for ball or dance invitations and seating limits.
An odd mixed excerpt discusses child discipline favoring kindness over whipping with patient guidance for first offenses. It shifts to praising the “sunny disposition” girl, whose cheerful manners attract both young men and older people, highlighting charm and sociable behavior as universally appealing.
