This single-panel cartoon depicts a domestic scene with three figures—a father, mother, and young daughter named Dorothy. The humor centers on a play on words about expense. The father remarks that the growing daughter is becoming "a little woman," prompting the mother to explain she's "a very expensive young lady" because she outgrows her clothing so quickly. Dorothy then delivers the punchline: "Mamma's expensive, too. She's grown out of her pretty freck[s]." The joke relies on a double meaning of "grown out of"—the daughter interprets it literally (the mother no longer fits into her clothes), while the mother meant it figuratively (the daughter costs money). This reverses expectations by suggesting the mother has become physically less attractive, a mild insult masked as innocent childish misunderstanding. It's gentle Victorian-era humor about aging, weight gain, and children's tactlessness—typical of the *Punch* magazine style credited here.
