What you’re looking at
This page contains three distinct pieces: 1. **"Progress in Millinery"** (top left): A poem by Clarissa Gartwell satirizing women's changing hairstyles. It jokes that hair fashions will eventually disappear entirely—women will be bald—mocking the rapid evolution of millinery trends. 2. **"That Habit"** (top right): A brief humorous dialogue about a man who compulsively repeats jokes and their punchlines, then laughs again. It's social satire targeting annoying personality habits. 3. **"Not Up to Expectation"** (large illustration): Shows a domestic scene where a man supervises children while a woman (Mrs. Nickell) is away. The caption indicates this arrangement was unexpected—she had to leave her children with their uncle, contradicting what should have happened. The satire targets domestic arrangements or women's duties.
