What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple short humorous pieces typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines: **"Her Favorite Him"** (center): A suggestive cartoon advertisement offering a colored portrait for 25 cents. The accompanying text plays on romantic uncertainty—a young man wonders if he's "her favorite," with the implication that the picture will clarify his romantic status. **Political dialogue (top left)**: Uncle Hiram, depicted as a rural farmer, discusses with a colonel his scheme to profit from reckless college drivers hitting his farm equipment. The satire mocks both the farmer's opportunism and wealthy young men's recklessness. When asked about politics, Hiram appeals to class resentment, asking the colonel to support "farmers...against...grasping plutycrats"—reflecting early 20th-century agrarian populist sentiment. **Other pieces**: "At the Springs" mocks women's spa culture; "Show Yourself" is a children's humor piece; "Attainment" jokes about divorce publicity. **Advertisements** for gin, whiskey, and Leslie's Weekly classified ads fill remaining space—typical period magazine content.

She goes to the springs, But she does not find there Either beaux or the things For which girls really care. She wears an old dress, And quite plain is her mien; She e’en will confess She is more than eighteen. She carries a brush And some powder of brown; She is in such a rush— Oh, she will not sit down! And what does she there, As her swift way she wings? Why, she’s going to kill bugs In her rusty bed springs! Show Yourself. Little Marjorie was showing her new birthday toys to grandpa, when her nother told the girl to let grandpa show em to himself. Marjorie was unwilling to do this, be- cause she wished to do the exhibiting. Then an idea struck her. ‘Here, frandpa,’’ she said, handing him a toy itatime as she spoke, ‘‘show yourself ny dolly, show yourself my blocks. And thus she went through the collec- tion, Attainment.
