Popping corn and a wry social note in Chicago and more
A humorous rustic scene of John Stiles and Susan Gutter popping corn unfolds with lively dialect as dinner stretches into midnight. The piece shifts to a caustic Chicago critique in Tribune style, lampooning city smells, streets, and public works, followed by inflammatory notes on Barnum’s fire and a long column of assorted notices and anecdotes from the era.

Kissing in the Tunnel on a May Train Ride
A May morning train to Louisville becomes a stage for a flirtation turned scandal when a lieutenant teases a married mother, whispers of kissing in the tunnel spark a confrontation, and public laughter follows as a col ored nanny and witnesses react to the liaisons amid rail car chatter and social norms.
