A morning scene describes a chic woman in a corduroy gown with a red underblouse, yellow trim, and gray brocade, highlighting youthful styling. The piece argues for subtle cosmetics over heavy color, noting trends toward pale complexions and simplified makeup. It discusses eye shaping, hair, and jewelry, including turquoise studs and velvet accents, while contrasting costly options with practical wardrobe choices.
A satirical tale follows shoppers debating sable muff outfits and fox fur novelties, with Polly weighing price tags from $0 to $335 and planning a velvet matched set. It shifts to lively Paris tea chatter about Miss Banbury-Chiselhurst and a boastful reply from Professor Flopstock, ending in genteel social banter.
A harsh essay argues that married men often bear the cost of their wives extravagant tastes and nagging. It contrasts Wibling and Skopley, both driven to ruin by spouses who insist on luxury beyond means, while bachelors escape such penalties. The piece ends urging quick decisive action in love and life.
A domestic guide warns wives to end social visits promptly for harmony. It urges avoiding nagging about husbands faults, withholding daily troubles, and maintaining appearance after marriage to prevent strain and loss of affection.
A vivid vignette follows a lively irrepressible American woman who probes fellow travelers in a railway station parlor.
