The opening of the collection introduces "An Adventure in Altruria," centering around Mrs. Katherine Biff, a cook who finds herself working for the eccentric and optimistic Miss Mercedes Van Arden, a self-proclaimed socialist. As Mrs. Biff navigates her new environment, she encounters a range of personalities, including her fellow staff members and the peculiar circumstances surrounding Miss Van Arden's attempts to implement her ideals of communal living. The story sets the stage for exploring the interactions between these characters and their divergent views on societal issues. Through Mrs. Biff's observations, readers get a glimpse into the challenges and humorous predicaments that arise in their everyday lives, creating an intriguing tableau of early 20th-century American society.
