What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** with several short humorous anecdotes typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines. The main items of note: **"A Misapplied Diminutive"** presents a joke about Bishop William N. McVickar of Rhode Island. His sister calls upstairs to "Willie" about a tailor's boy arriving for trousers. When the corpulent bishop appears, the boy exclaims "Gee! Is that Willie?"—the humor being that the nickname "Willie" seems absurdly inadequate for such a large man. This relies on physical comedy and the era's acceptance of mocking someone's body size. The remaining content consists of short, light jokes about romance ("Practiced, but Not Perfect"), weight ("So fat / Is Kate"), and domestic life ("Just as She'd Finished"). **The advertisements** promote Philip Morris cigarettes, Judge magazine subscriptions, and various patent medicines and jewelry—typical commercial content of the period. There is no apparent political satire on this particular page.

MeVickar, of Rhode Island, harbored a large soul in a body to match. He was a bachelor, whose sister kept house for him. On one occasion he telephoned to his tailor that he wished to have a pair of trousers pressed, and the tailor sent a boy to his residence to get them. The bishop's sister admitted the mes- senger, and called upstairs, ‘* Willie, the boy has come for your trousers !’" When her brother appeared, the youth's astonished gaze traversed the prelate’s impressive ‘‘corporosity,”’ then he murmured, “Gee!
