Fragmented dialogue mix shows infant care pleas and moral exhortations, interlaced with a humorous exchange about Mrs Partanbridge and her influence. Includes voices like BB Geddemy and H. C Dodge, and a regional note on social norms and conjugal authority.
In a village parlor, Moses Mickleberry and friends advise tightening purse strings and curbing Mary’s independence. Mary resists, learns of Partanbridge’s criticisms, and gradually asserts a stricter, traditional role. The tale follows how Mary endures yet resists, reshaping the household dynamic.
In a comic domestic tale from Helen F. Graves, Mr Job Partanbridge clashes with his formidable wife Drusilla Partanbridge, demanding obedience amid a house full of reform talk and stubborn pride. The scene ends with the couple departing for a suffrage bureau hotel, never to be heard from again by Mary Mickleberry.
A rambling mix of hunting lore about a grand ibex with black horns and a near-miss shot, plus scattered essays and anecdotes. The piece discusses dueling as a class custom among journalists and politicians, reflections on moral value, a German anecdote about a cobbler’s boy and the German press, and a humorous exchange about moving the piano for summer plans.
A Philadelphia era ghostly tale recalls a backwoods Pennsylvania printer who found his brother’s disembodied handiwork in a newspaper notice after a dawn rise. Also features a Chicago organ grinder and waterbound fish lore describing salmon, sea trout, and Peruvian fabrics with ancient world context.
A jumbled mix of funny incidents and oddities from the era. Items include a lost Cheboygan plow recovered from a river after decades, quirky contests in Oregon towns, a Chicago hotel man seeking to rule a built town, and a Minneapolis heir to three fortunes from unknown relatives. Also jokes, tellings of scams, travel tales, and a brief highwayman anecdote conclude the column.
A column on the ideal of the true woman of the world, praising tact, restraint, and respect in marriage, and contrasting with the ingenue. It recounts Mary H. Krout’s dedication in journalism, defines a real lady, and notes women as detectives and leaders in clubs, education, and invention.
