What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising** with minimal editorial cartoon content. The left column contains **"Proverbs,"** a satirical essay attributed to Mary va Richel that mocks pretension and self-deception in early 20th-century society. It attacks conceited people, critiques poverty as character-building myth, questions marriage, and satirizes both the wealthy and the ineffectual poor who rely on newspapers for worldview. The brief poem **"Miss Butterfly"** mocks society women who abandon pleasure only during Lent, then resume frivolous behavior. The remainder is **period advertising**: Cusenier's Creme de Menthe liqueur, Old Overholt Rye whiskey, Hotel Earlington (budget lodging at $1), Tentations perfume, Durbar Gems (costume jewelry), Schultz Ginger Ale, and a leather key-purse. The satirical commentary is light—social criticism through aphorism rather than visual caricature. No identifiable political figures appear.

Proverbs. oNceIT is an excellent thing. Cul- tivate conceit. Those having the jesst reason for self-esteem can often possess it in the greatest measure—only, aatof kindness to those that know thee well, conceal it. It giveth the assurance thst maketh for success, it is the inno- eat source of great happiness, and it maketh the face of the little man to shine. Coneeit only skin deep is called vanity. fhis is peculiar to women, and it reach- gh not to the marrow of their bones. The humble man feareth the evil and hid- eh himself, but the conceited are bold as alin, and in a brief season are in pos- gssion of the high places. Genius is the infinite capacity for giv- ing pains. Not every one without honor in his own cantry is a prophet. Not every man wearing his hair long isan artist, nor every poor penman a poet. Not every poor man gaineth character beause of his poverty, nor is every rich an high-minded and selfish. The poor man is placed in families, and hischildren grow up about him even as a fock having no fold, neither wool for their backs. The family is a plebeian istitution, and marriage is fast becom- ing another. The question of marrying—whether ‘tis better to endure those ills we have or fee to others that we know not of. “Why should I not lead about a wife?’’ wks St. Paul. What if all men were so hogical? We should not look for the same person topreach and practice both. To do one «these well is nosmall accomplishment. Experience is a dear school, but fools aa learn in no other. The world must tare backslidden since Poor Richard's 4y,as now it takes a pretty wise man tlearn even by experience. Who was the youthful cynic that called ptilanthropy the fad of the idle and the wapegoat of the rich? The evils of frenzied finance are pecul- larly repugnant to the ineffectual poor. Ifone had only his observations and tenewspapers to go by, he must needs commit suicide, and that right early. tis better to dream than to do; fora few need not to do, but all need to dream. Toree things there he too wonderful frme—aye, there are four things that I Ganot understand: the conceit of a man, te subtlety of temptation, and the in- feaity of torture to which the human frame is liable; and the spirit in man tat can triumph over them all.
