What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **advertisements and light humor columns** rather than political cartoons. The main content is a humorous poem titled "A Wail from Boston" mocking Boston's intellectual pretentiousness. The speaker complains of being exhausted by fashionable literary and philosophical fads—references to Browning, Ibsen, Tolstoy—and desperately seeks a new, "select" fad befitting Boston society. The satire targets Boston's well-known snobbery and compulsive adoption of high-minded cultural trends. The page also includes several comic anecdotes about social embarrassment and domestic mishaps (wearing embroidered shirts, ordering multiple carriages). The dominant visual element is a **large Cuticura Remedies advertisement** featuring a child writing letters, promoting skin treatments for babies. This reflects the era's patent medicine marketing, which frequently used appeals to motherhood and child welfare. The remaining space comprises travel, hotel, and product advertisements typical of period magazines.

A WAIL FROM BOSTON, The Browning and the Ibsen fads are getting worn and old; My interest in Tolstof, too, has recently grown cold ; I'm tired of solving riddles and I'm tired of all the hue And cry of pessimistic bores—I want a fad that's new. A pleasant, cheerful little fad that won't wear out the brain ; That won't disturb my sleep at night or call for con- stant strain ; A fad that's inexpensive, too—(this between me and you! Is just the fad I'm looking for—provided it is new. Of course it must be quite select, since I am Boston- born, And, like my fellow-Bostonese, would sneer at Gabriel's horn Unless he played it just in tune on every note he blew— A fad to suit me must be choice, and it must be brand new. Tt ought to be religious, though it might do quite as well If it implied some startling views on disbelief in hell. If it were based on Brahmic faith from any point of I'm quite sure it would please me—provided it were new. Now, if you can assist me I really hope you will ; It's anything but pleasant to solicit aid, but still, Although I live in Boston, and so my wants are few, Just now I sorely need a fad. Who's got a fad that's new? —Somerville Journal, Cleverton—" How did you come to wear an em- broidered shirt at the wedding reception last night? Don't you know it isn't good form?"
