What Shall We Wear Describes Moonstone Jewelry Purses
A vintage survey of New York ladies purse styles highlights moonstone jewelry and intricate purse designs. It details purses with gold bars, pearl tips, and diamond accents, plus varied fabrics and silver work. The piece notes card and bill compartments, satin linings, and mentions Moonstone pieces such as brooches with dragonfly and mermaid motifs. It also includes a tangential anecdote about a fast Detroit Pro A game and a farmer’s yard fowl incident.

Lost Song and Superstitions from Early America
A collage of verse fragments and 18th century tropes follows with George Horton’s Lost Song, then reflections on New England witchcraft beliefs and a humorous clash of politeness. It shifts to Algerian tattoo practices, a legal slander case, bogus coffee lore, and travel sketches. Local names and odd place titles populate a Portland and New England toponymic vignette.

Bank counterwork and the rise of the British teller
The article details London and Edinburgh bank counters and tellers, noting open mahogany counters for oversight, quick coin handling, and weight checks. It compares English, Scottish, and American practices, cites note issuance rules, and mentions the brief life of five pound notes and the eye for accuracy in counting silver and gold.
