A lengthy social column condemns itinerant door to door sellers of “shoeap” merchandise as pests who invade households with thefts, foul odors, and disease risks. It describes squalid urban dealer dens, warns against patronizing hawkers, and urges banning visits to protect homes and children. It also notes England’s petty magistrates and a London letter on a child jailed for larceny.
