MISS ROCKEFELLER Pledged to Charity in Public Life
A portrait of Miss Edith Rockefeller, heiress and Sunday School leader, who blends immense wealth with persistent charity. Her charity drives include hospital visits, skater gatherings for poor girls, and book reading for elderly patients, all while she and sister Alta teach at Faunce Baptist church. Harold McCormick’s suit followed a long family accord, with Edith promising a life of giving rather than wealth.

Misplaced Servant and New England Folklore
Readable fragments describe a servant Hannah in New England where Saturday night customs offend residents. A mistress and visitors discuss her place, social acceptance, and a sequence of ship voyages gives a dated frame to the era. Local street scenes depict cries, trades, and a tense labor setting on a town avenue.
