Description
In this edition of "They Say," Bert Islew informs her readers, among others,
- "That a choice programme for the ADVOCATE Concert next Tuesday night is in preparation."
- "That one of the young Boston boys is filling the position of stenographer and private secretary for Dr. Edward Everett Hale."
- "That our favourite Boston elocutionist made a great hit at the concert last Friday night by alternately melting her audience to tears and convulsing them with laughter."
- "That a certain fascinating society lady sleeps in delicate white kid gloves, and also dons the same article when performing any duty that is liable to render the hands callous."
For more info on the column and its author, please see the description for "They Say," Dec 4, 1886, and our entry on Lillian A. Lewis.
