What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, with a brief satirical section titled "Snap Judgments." The main content is a humorous anecdote about women learning poker and arguing over payment—likely satirizing debates about women's education and independence. The narrator's female acquaintances insist she must pay to learn poker, comparing it to learning piano or dancing. When she refuses to pay the full amount (keeping carfare home), Mrs. Jones demands additional money, illustrating female pettiness or hypocrisy about women's advancement. The "Snap Judgments" section contains three brief political/social quips: mocking the Prince of Monaco naming a fish after his family, commenting on foreign royalty (Egypt's Khedive, Tibet's Llama) discovering modern activities, and joking about Colorado women voters' promised "talkless campaign" regarding women's suffrage—implying women voters are inherently talkative. The rest consists of period advertisements for whiskey, cigars, hats, pianos, and patent services—typical of early 20th-century magazine content.

I had only three dollars and forty-five cents in my bag. I threw down three dollars and forty cents—I was ten blocks from home and kept my carfare—and told them I would never speak to one of them again, though I regret that, for.Mrs. Jones alone was to blame.’’ “‘And what did Mrs. Jones say?’’ asked Mrs. Handy. “Why, she had the nerve to say I owed her sixty cents!’’ Snap Judgments The Prince of Monaco, whose income comes principally from Monte Carlo, has just discovered a new fish which he has named after his family, the Grimaldis. Which is an honor, of course, for the fish but when the Prince gets him home to Monte Carlo he will be just a plain sucker like all the other fish there. Oo The Khedive of Egypt has just seen his first baseball game and the Grand Llama of Thibet has just received an automobile. This king business doesn’t seem to have so very much on other trades, after all. o The women voters of Colorado have promised a ‘‘talkless campaign.”” If they really make good on that promise, the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution will be adopted in spite of President Wilson and Congress. If the new anti-interlocking directorate law will have something in it making a mother-in-law pick out which one of her sons-in-law's families she will boss, Big Business will cheerfully adjust itself to all the rest of the bill. o As a Democrat, President Wilson stands by the Baltimore platform, one-term plank and all, Asan American, he reveres the Constitution, and the one-term plank can’t be made part of the Constitution by 1916. Congress is too busy with the trusts. Oo It is an interesting coincidence that nearly every successful up-lift movement has included sooner or later a substantial lift-up for somebody.
