Oddities and opinions from a bygone era dating jokes and quirks

A collection of sensational quotes and vignette jests from a faded newspaper page. It mentions a Beaton clergyman’s sharp remarks on women, a 103 year old Carthage mother of eighteen, a misadventure with a clothesline, sectarianism at a camp meeting, servant girls’ reputations, a San Francisco bride, and social foibles at weddings and dances. It also notes fashion talk, farm wives at fairs, and a Paris church wedding joke. A Paris bride line and a Detroit or Ann Arbor sophomore jab close the strip.
