What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces targeting wealthy society and social issues of the era (appears early 20th century based on style). **"On His Own"** mocks a rich woman forced to abandon leisure activities (drinking, smoking, golf) after losing wealth. The humor lies in her incompetence at managing her own affairs. **"Troubles of the Rich"** presents a conversation where Mrs. Colosinger notes wealthy people must cultivate entirely new social circles when becoming rich—satirizing the shallow, status-obsessed nature of high society. **"The Only Way"** cartoon depicts military officers discussing recruits, with crude humor about "pulling in" soldiers using inappropriate methods. The overall theme criticizes wealth's corrupting influence on character and society's obsession with class status. The satire is pointed at both the wealthy and social hierarchies generally.
