What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple short satirical cartoons mocking social pretensions and domestic absurdities of the era: **"That's How"**: A gentleman argues waiters must be clean-shaven to be distinguished from society men—Miss Ricketts sarcastically suggests their superior intelligence might suffice. **"The Other Would Follow"**: Parents worry their son smokes cigarettes, but the real concern is his russet shoes and red necktie—suggesting fashion choices indicate moral decay. **"Chicago Courtesy"**: A host delays introducing his dinner guest to his wife, implying Chicagoans are rudely inhospitable. **"Civilities in the Suburbs"**: A cosmetics saleswoman mentions a neighbor sent her; the wife responds that same neighbor is so nosy she should remove the corn from her nose caused by sticking it in others' business. **"Her Reflections"**: A woman admits she was daydreaming about what became of the department store magnate John Wanamaker—a non sequitur joke on idle female thoughts. The cartoons target middle-class social anxiety, regional stereotypes (Chicago), and gender roles with gentle, period-specific humor.
