What you’re looking at

This page mixes political satire with period advertisements. The main cartoon titled "Campaign Prophecy" satirizes electoral prediction schemes. It shows how various people claim to have discovered which states will vote for a particular candidate by hidden letter patterns—spelling out state names using emphasized letters in lists like "Mississip**P**i," "Alab**A**ma," etc. The joke: these "prophetic" methods are all arbitrary nonsense dressed up as mystical insight, mocking both superstitious thinking and dubious campaign prognostication. The page also advertises dubious medical remedies (deafness cure, drug treatment) typical of early 1900s magazine advertising—unverified claims presented as scientific breakthroughs. The scattered jokes at bottom mock social pretense: actresses reinventing themselves, gold-diggers pursuing broke nobility.

THE panite careers of these betons names. Of their private lives little would public records were available. The Bastile opened so easily and closed so tightly on anyone that fell ito royal disfavor that fone might suppose few would be willing to take the chances of penning personal memoirs that laid bare the secrets of the most scandalous and profligate regime that has ever held sway. ‘The very danger of it however, stimulated some of the chief characters—some of the greatest courtiers and favontes—to tell the real facts about their own lives and those of their fellows with a frankness and abandon that has never been matched. Some of these memoirs were hidden securely till long years alter their authors had'died—others were confiscated by the police and burned by the common hangman in Paris, not 3 much on account of their sensational nature as because of theit exposure of state plots, secret double dealings, and corrupt designs. ‘There never was another period in the World's history when affairs of State were so managed and influenced by Royal lavorites—especially of the fair sex.

"After me the Aclage," said Madame Pompadour, whose mad caprices set in motion forces that culminated in the terri ble Revolution and the loss of both throne and life by the luckless grandson of her royal lover." Alter- me-the-delage,”” was the devil-may-care attitude of the time. USDER the Eattorahip Of Leon Vallee, Librarian at the National Library of France, these private and secret memoirs have been gathered, translated and illustrated from the archives of the Tibhotheque of the Nationale, into which the original manuscripts have found their way. Dr, Vallee has also written an introduction to each memoir that enables you to see and know the writer and more clearly understand the memoir,_ It is characteristic of these memoirs and confessions that their Very frankness purges them of offense. This back-stairs gossip and these unreserved confessions throw Nde lights on many dark pages in the history of the time. THE twenty volumes of courtiers and favorites of Royalty are fasct ing reading. Few will be satisfied with a single reading of the four volumes containing the memoirs and confessions of Madame Du Barry, for example, and no one can understand the Causes and effects of the French Revolution who ts unacquainted with the inner side of the life fat the Court of France.
