Fragmented Reflections on Women Newspapers and Self Esteem
A dated prose fragment contrasts women and newspapers as sources of news. It muses on how public discourse would suffer without these voices and likens external head shapes to church steeples. The piece urges weighing argument consequences over the arguer’s praise and defines real greatness by intrinsic value.
Dressing with taste and practicality in daily life
The article argues well dressed means attire suited to time, place and duties, not lavish fabrics. It urges neat personal care, modest outfits for morning duties, and warns against overdressing for casual events, stressing mothers teach daughters practical standards. It also recounts Van Amburgh’s lion and black tigress—remarkable bond and shared meals, with the lion sparing his own food for the tigress.
