What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces targeting early 20th-century social conventions: **"Where She Wore It"** mocks the fashion trend of increasingly minimal bathing costumes, referencing the famous 19th-century poem "Nothing to Wear" about a woman with an empty wardrobe. The joke critiques women's scandalous beach attire. **"Try, Try Again"** is a humorous poem reframing the motivational phrase to mock women's desperation for marriage, particularly their need for husbands to darn socks—a common domestic necessity. **"Seek and Ye Shall Find"** sarcastically questions where modern women capable of darning socks can be found, reflecting anxiety about changing gender roles. **"The Scales of Justice"** satirizes lawyers' delays in settling estates. **"His Master's Choice"** appears to mock a dog choosing to eat/attack something in a manicure salon, commenting on social propriety. The humor throughout targets evolving social norms: women's fashion, marriage expectations, domestic duties, and modern inconveniences—reflecting period anxieties about social change.

[F AT first you don’t succeed, Try, try again; If a husband you should need, Try, try again; Cupid, with his little dart, Sure will pierce some manly heart, If you will but do your part, Try, try again. What though Tom has proved untrue, Try, try again; Or if Dick has failed you, too, Try, try again; Don't think Harry was the best, There are others you may test— Take your pick from out the rest, Try, try ag You will land one in the end, Try, try again; Fate will send some socks to mend, Try, try again; If Dan Cupid still is blind, Does not seem to love inclined, Only keep this rule in mind— Try, try agai MAD dog, according to reports in the papers, got loose in a New York mani- cure establishment the other day, but was ejected promptly, because biting one’s nails is very bad form and is not countenanced by the elect.

Tr" WAS a dark night and the car was speeding homeward at a terrible rate. “What road have you taken, James?” cried Mrs. Blithers, as the car jolted her high in the air. “The regular boulevard, Mrs. Blithers,"’ returned the chauffeur. “* But I never noticed all these thank-you- marms on the boulevard before,"’ protested Mrs. Blithers. “‘Oh,"’ laughed the chauffeur, ‘‘ those were not thank-you-marms, Mrs. Blithers!

BURTSCHER WHEN the poe Won't work a bit, He's content to revise What others have writ. o Hey-de-diddle, High prices are a riddle, The airship sailed over the moon; Our Teddy smiled to see such crowds, But lovers ceased to spoon. * There was a man in our town, And he was wise, of course; He made a dash for Reno And got him a divorce. And when he was a widower, With all his might and main, He flirted with some Renoene And got tied up again. (Apology is offered for not including Mary’a Little Lamb.)
