What you’re looking at
This page primarily contains **domestic humor and period advertisements rather than political satire**. The main illustrated story depicts a common early-20th-century marital scenario: a new bride ("Mrs. Earlywed") fails at cooking because she doesn't understand proper food preparation—her vegetables shrink drastically, her meat portions are inadequate. Her critical mother-in-law corrects her techniques, eventually prompting the husband to take everyone to dinner. **The satire targets**: Female domesticity and the assumption that wives should instinctively know how to cook. The joke mocks both the incompetent new bride and the overbearing mother-in-law who knows "proper" household management. **Period context**: The page includes an advertisement for "Votes for Women" (women's suffrage was a contemporary political issue) and early electric vibrators marketed as health devices—both reflecting early 1900s concerns. The humor reflects anxieties about marriage, gender roles, and women's domestic capabilities typical of this era's popular magazines.

The old lady, with the cover of the dish in her hand, sniffed scornfully at the small spoonful of strange, green, stalky stuff. “Henry,” wailed Mrs. Earlywed, ‘‘it has all cooked away!’ “How much did you cook?”’ asked Henry's mother. “Three big bunches. he could eat only one.”” “You should have cooked about twenty bunches. You also left it on its stalks, and, I feel convinced, put it on in cold water.”” Then she smiled grimly as Mrs. Early- wed, with a large spoon, started to serve the rhubarb, There was barely enough in the dish to fill a small saucer. “Rhubarb is equally deceptive,” and the old lady raised her napkin to hide a smile. ‘‘A great many stalks must be cooked to make the proper quantity." “Edna, serve the salad now,’’ trem- blingly ordered Mrs. Earlywed, in order to eke out the slim dinner. Henry nervously eyed the small, round, red object resting on the lettuce leaves at his mother’s place. ‘I am sorry, mother, but it was impossible to peel the tomatoes as Margaret said.’’ “Quite impossible," admitted the old lady grimly, ‘‘unless you let them stand in hot water first.”” Henry sprang to his feet. “Come!’’ he cried decidedly. ‘We will all go downtown and get a decent dinner!"" “Why, Henry,’’ and his mother looked at him reproachfully, ‘‘have you forgot- ten that after six o’clock I never eat any- thing but a small piece of toast and acup of tea?” Even Henry said Circumstances Alter Cases Mrs. Crawford—I thought you said you weren't going to the sewing circle?
