What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **advertisements and a short humorous story** rather than political satire. **"The Woman's Delight"** by Jane Vivian is a light comedy sketch about Susan, a newly wealthy woman who inherits a fortune and impulsively decides to buy an automobile. The joke hinges on early-1900s gender expectations: a woman with sudden wealth and desire is portrayed as impulsive and indecisive, unable to make purchasing decisions without male guidance. The reporter follows her, suggesting she lacks judgment ("locked up as demented"). The humor relies on the stereotype of frivolous female consumers—a common trope of the era. The surrounding ads reinforce this: diamonds and jewelry are marketed as ways to win women's affection ("the handsome diamond ring...won the best girl in town"), while whiskey and cigars appeal to male readers. **There is no clear political cartoon on this page.** The content reflects period attitudes about gender, consumption, and courtship rather than political commentary.

The Woman’s Delight By JANE VIVIAN HEN Miss Susan unexpectedly fell heir to great wealth, she knew ex- actly what to do with a part of it, and she did it, with the kindly assistance of a reporter. Susan's good luck had been duly chron- icled in large headlines in newspapers, so when her handmaiden ushered in a re- porter, Susan was not at all bored and did not pretend to be, “T hear, Miss Susan, that you have been left a fortune,’’ he said. “Lhave,’’ replied the girl of the hour. “‘Would you mind telling me whether you intend to endow’’—— “Please listen, Mr. Reporter. Do you see these wan cheeks, these lusterless eyes, these protruding bones?” The reporter did not see, and said so. “Well, all these things are, neverthe- less; and what do you think is the cause?" He hazarded several guesses, none cor- rect. ‘*Desire—all-consuming desire for an automobile !’” “That's easy, isn’t it? Why not buy one, two or three, as your desire counts up?” “That's what I’m going to do this minute, as soon as I get my hat pinned on.” “Do I go, too?” “Oh, no! I shall be locked up as de- mented before I find what I want. You wouldn't like that!"’ “‘Wouldn’t like it?) A column and a half, space rates? Who said so?”” No one; but I shouldn’t like it. You see, I never bought anything that cost over ten dollars in my whole life, and I sha’n’t know how to act!’" The reporter laughed and said he thought it better for him to leave at once. He did, and went as far as the corner, where he waited until Susan left the house, and then trailed after her up Gaso- line Row. In front of a window holding a large, red touring car she halted, and the re- porter drew up alongside. “How'd do?” “Oh, how'd do? You here? you'd follow!"” “I thought you’d think so. That's why Icame. What make are you going to buy?"" “The first one I can find ready to run, with a lot of pockets, regardless of price, color, size, noise’*—— “How do you like this one?’? asked the reporter, trying to short-circuit Miss Susan. “*L can’t see them.’’ “There is but one there."” “IT mean pocke I want a car filled with pockets, I said."” A salesman obligingly came outside and suggested that they go inside. They did. I thought Send for This Interesting and Instructive Book on trated book! fn has ever been known for any other ever published for free distribution.
