What you’re looking at

**"Judging by Sound"** is a domestic humor joke: a visitor mistakes a wife's loud tea-drinking for fountain splashing, satirizing women's social gatherings and gluttony. **"Awe of Kings"** mocks royal pageantry—even monarchs suffer summer heat in formal robes, yet no one dares ask a king the common complaint "Is it hot enough for you?" It's gentle satire on the absurd privileges and constraints of royalty. **"Seaside Architecture"** by Lampton ridicules gaudy resort development along the shore. The repetitive verse mocks the garish, poorly-designed cottages ("vills vill"), excessive ornamentation, and high prices charged to wealthy city dwellers ("city wads"). It's social criticism of overdeveloped coastal areas and architectural excess. **"The Ideal Summer Home"** humorously depicts a man criticizing ramshackle rental cottages while not recognizing a photograph of his own modest home—poking fun at romantic delusion and vanity. The **fishing tableau** shows how perspective changes leisure activities. The **millinery confections** section appears to be fashion illustration with handwritten captions (text too degraded to read clearly).

But one comforting thing—no one dares ask a king, “Ts it hot enough for you?’’ Grace McKinstry The Ideal Summer Home. “enow, here's the kind of place I like,’’ says the summer cottager, idly looking over some kodak pictures. “See this pretty porch, with the vines climbing over it, and that sweep of lawn, with some trees and shrubs. I wish we could find a place like that instead of one of these ramshac- kle summer cot- tages like we always rent.'’ “Why, John . Flikkerman!” laughs his wife. “That's a picture of our own house at home that Will took last week!'’ HANDY An- dy—Carnegie. Seaside Architecture. By WILLIAM J. LAMPTON HE VILLA vills and vills vills, The cottage cots and cots Along the strand Of silver sand Converted into lots. and The pine planks pine and pine and pine, The shingles shing and shing, The yellow tints And brown-green tints Look like a bilious spring. The towers tow and tow and tow, Piazzas paz and paz In curious lines Of such designs As nothing elsewhere has. The jig-saw jigs and jigs and jigs, The fretwork frets and frets In fuzzy frills And grinning grills Hung on like wooden nets. The windows wind and wind and wind, Odd corners corn and corn, The roofs are steep, And flat and deep, The lawns are quite forlorn. The chimneys chim and chim and chim, The dormers dor and dor Aloft, alow, Yet do not know What they were put there for. The gaudy gauds and gauds and gauds, The modest mods and mods, The price of each Is made to reach All kinds of city wads. The sad sea sees and sees and sees, The billows bill and bill, But no one cares What pain is theirs, The villas vill and vill. TABLEAU.
