What you’re looking at
This page contains three separate satirical cartoons mocking social behavior of the era: **"Candidates for Lynching"** (top): Ridicules people who loudly comment on others' clothing in public—specifically someone who examines a friend's new spring coat and announces it's stylish in an obnoxiously loud voice ("megaphone voice"). The phrase "candidates for lynching" means such people deserve public disapproval. **"Sufficient Knowledge"** (left): Two men discuss their wives' spring fashions. Mr. Jibboom recites elaborate, incomprehensible dress details (organdie, gauze, galoons, batiste), while Mr. Gonslocker pragmatically notes his wife's suit costs $100 and his comes from leftovers—he needs no fashion knowledge, only price awareness. It satirizes how men pretend to understand women's clothing complexity. **"The Bargain Instinct"** (center): A wife, hearing her marriage license cost two dollars, immediately asks "Couldn't you get them three for five?"—revealing the stereotype that women compulsively hunt bargains. The humor mocks female shopping obsession. The page also includes advertisements and minor humorous items.

It will be flaring at the hem and tight about the figure, and the waist will harmonize, being a creation ot dotted batiste with an invisible appliqué of sheer linen, with elbow- sleeves and a stock ruching of something or other, and. 1 forget the rest of it, but the price is to be eighty-five dollars, with possibly a few dollars extra for the trimmings, the dressmaker not being able to give a precise estimate beforehand.” + Humph !" remarks Mr. Gonslocker. ++ My wife's new spring suit will be made out of a hundred-dol- lar bill, and my spring suit will come from the remnants if there are any, That's as much as lever learn of the mysteries of dressmak- A REAL EASTER HATCHING.
