The Lee Penny Tale and the London Legend
A revived 18th century legend traces the Lee Penny, a red triangular stone linked to Robert the Bruce and the Holy Land myth, through a tangled tale of healings, alchemy, and royal drama. Walter Scott’s era writings are cited as popularizing the romance and its Scottish grafts, while antiquarians debate its inscriptions and historical veracity.

Old Clothes Cleaned By Primitive And Modern Methods
A newspaper tour visits a dry cleaner showing two approaches. One shop’s simple wash and steam dyeing process cleans trousers and coats, while a rival touts a scientific method using formaldehyde and benzine under pressure to remove stubborn stains. The piece notes costs, mending, and the social angle of customers unable to pay.
