Witty vignettes describe women’s taste in flowers, a sharp tale of a wife’s keen nose for her husband’s outings, and a New Orleans visit to author Mary Ashley Townsend and her cultured circle.

Faithful Bra Garrett Daughter Wife Dominates Mill Owner
John W. Garrett, railroad president, relied on his wife to govern daily life. For forty years they never slept apart, and her death hastened his.
