Heat and Fashion in a Summer Tenement Life
From Our Regular Correspondent New York April 16 a vivid satirical column on heat in tenements. A poor household mother battles stifling rooms, frail babies, and worn fabrics while fashion dictums press women to endure discomfort. The piece contrasts cleanliness, hygiene, and mortality risks with daily toil and the longing for relief through soap, water, and cooling dinks.
