What is wrong with this picture? Here is a man seated at a dinner table between three ladies a butter plate and a dish of soup. He is in evening dress. In and around his buttonhole is a secondhand rose. More vegetables and even soup and fish are scattered about on the table and the guests. Both his hands are, strangely enough immersed part way in a finger bowl. Offhand there seems to be nothing wrong with the picture. But the faults are glaring to one who has studied a few rules of etiquette. Even those...
...whatever statistics come out of this investigation, one defect is glaringly apparent even to the layman. Crime and its methods have advanced as rapidly as the rest of civilization. The old-time "jimmy" and the nitroglycerine "soup" are now aided by elaborately planned, wireless-informed rings operating with the most modern tools and making a getaway in high-powered cars.

Mr. Williams had an admirable outlet for his exceptional musical ability, while Miss Wolfus presented quite a fashion show in her strolls about the stage...

Oliver Wendell Holme's once said, "Because I like a pinch of salt in my soup is no reason I wish to be immersed in brine", he might well have been speaking of the modern labor union. There have been workingmen's associations in America since the beginning of the industrial era long before the Civil War. That they have earned an important place in our social organization is unquestioned; the abolition of chattel slavery in the South found its parallel in the relief of wage slavery in the North. But their quest for wholesome working conditions and a living...
