A fragment from a 19th century critique laments deteriorating manners among men and women in social settings. It argues that deference to women has vanished, patronage and ceremony faded, and casual familiarity now dominates in rooms previously governed by formal "polite damage" and measured restraint.
A survey of stage superstition features Mr Toole discussing ghosts and omens on pay days and Friday tendencies of Elward Terry and others. Notable quotes cover luck, luckiest days, and belief in good plays drawing crowds, with varied views from Mrs Bernard Beere and Letty Lind and notes on umbrellas, cats, and the number thirteen. The piece frames English actors as lightly superstitious but rational about performance power.
A lengthy account details a planned week long walking tour by a party of women led by an artist and his wife affiliated with the Art Students League. They pursue a prototype program of physical training for young women, emphasizing endurance walking, proper dress, and hygienic gear as part of a broader education proposal in New York.
A chaotic satire on American agriculture and New York hospitality, recounting country visitors chasing advertised green goods while gaslit fears, elevator myths, and wartime urban legends clash with the city’s bustle. It reflects class, transit, cemeteries, and the era’s social currents with vivid, if rambling, anecdotes.
A long fragment discusses wealth from old metals and gold recovery in 1398 era processes. It details melting, refining, and separating gold and silver from alloys, including drainage, smelting, and open-air refinement, with mentions of drains, assay floors, and roof gutter collects.
The fragmentary text recalls a spring pageant with young women described amid vivid, wandering dialogue. It references a choir, costumes, and a various crowd, with stray mentions of a auction, charity sale, and figures like Madame Sand and Mattie Rothschild. The tone evokes a nostalgic, crowded gathering full of chatter and distant murmurs.
