This satirical short novel displays a side of Cooper unfamiliar to
many modern readers. It is told from the point of view of an actual
handkerchief: its origins in a French flax field, how it was passed
around New York City society in the 1830s, and its eventual return to
its maker. In this story, Cooper makes a point of ridiculing Victorian
materialism—which places value on consumption, not production.
