What you’re looking at

This page's main content is a poem-cartoon from the *Chicago Record-Herald* satirizing male hypocrisy regarding female missionaries. The piece contrasts two scenarios: a beautiful, fashionable woman versus an unattractive one, both seeking to convert the narrator to righteousness. The satire's point is blunt: the poem's speaker admits he'd only accept spiritual salvation from an attractive woman with "graceful figure," "soft" voice, and beauty—not from an plain woman lacking "corsets," "style," or conventional femininity. The joke exposes how men of this era claimed moral seriousness while actually being driven by physical attraction. By having the narrator openly admit this shallow preference, the poet mocks Victorian male pretense about piety and self-improvement. A closing quip about a "snake-charmer" reinforces the seductive manipulation theme. The surrounding ads (liqueur, cigarettes, home-building guides) are typical magazine filler, unrelated to the satire's social commentary on gender and morality.

If a woman without corsets, One who had contempt for style, One whose face was seldom lighted By the flicker of a smile, One who had her thin hair shingled, One who had a raspy tone, One who thought that frills and ribbons Were old Satan's very own— If it chanced that such a woman Came to show the way to you, Would you rise and gladly follow ? Answer, brother, answer true. When the lady missionary Comes around to rescue me, Let her have a graceful figure, And a beauty let her be; Let her lips part oft in laughter, Let her voice be soft and sweet ; Let her eyes possess a twinkle, Let her blush, too, as we meet— When the lady here depicted Comes to teach me to be good, She will find it easy, brother, Let this fact be understood. —Chicago Record-Herald.
