Molly Elliot Seawell notes in Paul Jones that at Quiberon Bay a French fleet under Admiral La Motte Picquet gave what Jones claimed as the first foreign salute to the American flag. The gesture came despite no formal alliance and involved tact as well as boldness, with La Motte Picquet ordering his guns manned as Jones sailed through the fleet.
A Paris rumor suggests the pompadour roll will lose favor and the fashion shifts away from the braced back hair. If true, rat-like “rats” hair arrangements may return, hair brushed back forming a high figure eight at the back. The Psyche knot would fade from this evolving style.
A New York Advertiser item notes the Trilby waist features two close bands laid over a plaited or gathered bodice. The crossed bands form the main decoration while other trims fill gaps to complete the effect as in the model worn by Trilby herself.

Atlantic Monthly describes a winter across the plains from St Paul to distant farms. Vast snow, lonely farms, and hardy settlers shaping Dakota and Montana towns evoke majesty and desolation.
