Etta Elmer's Trials in a Troy Mayoral Tale
A humorous 1875 Troy Herald column follows Etta Elmer and her cross husband Ed Elmer as they navigate a quarrel over a bonnet. After a tense scene on a city streetcar, Ed's mercy wins, and they reconcile with a shopping outing. The piece shifts to a miscellany of short moral sketches and anecdotes about manners, hands, and Irish Brigade tales.
