1 Mrs. Harris . . . history] Burton Stevenson, in a chapter on “Nothing to Wear” in Famous Single Poems, says that a Mrs. Harris lost her life in a tragic accident at Niagara Falls.
2 Powers’ Greek Slave] a famous statue by the then-popular American sculptor Hiram Powers (1805–1873).
3 PETER COOPER] American industrialist, inventor and philanthropist (1791–1883) who built Manhattan’s Cooper Union to provide education for the city’s working class.
4 STEWART] Alexander Turney Stewart (1803–1876), one of America’s greatest retail merchants of the nineteenth century. A native of Ireland, he opened the nation’s first department store in 1823 at 283 Broadway, in Manhattan. Its instant success led to larger and larger stores. His seven-story “marble palace” at Broadway and Chambers Street became the offices of the New York Sun from 1910 to 1950. Now in a state of decay, there are plans for restoring it as a city landmark. Garden City, Long Island, was developed by Stewart. At the time of his death, Stewart was building a charitable boarding facility for working women and girls.
5 button-ball tree] a tree in the plane-tree family, so called because of its small brown seed balls; also called buttonwood tree.
6 Your . . . trees] The lady blundered here. If she is writing at night, in New York, after a dance, it would be three hours earlier in California, hardly a time of sunrise. She wrongly assumed that time in California is three hours ahead of New York time, rather than three hours behind.
