What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** rather than political satire. The main illustrated content includes ads for self-help books, travel (Bermuda cruises), correspondence law courses, and a "Liquid Pistol" novelty item. The central text piece, "How History Repeats Itself" by K. L. Roberts, is a **light humor column** (not a political cartoon) that uses historical vignettes to satirize conservative moral panic about women's fashion. It traces objections to female attire from Homer's era through King Arthur's Camelot to 18th-century France, implying that each generation unnecessarily condemns the next generation's styles as scandalous. The joke is that fashion controversy is eternally cyclical and ultimately harmless—a commentary on contemporary prudishness rather than political satire. The page reflects early 20th-century magazine advertising practices more than substantive editorial content.

E, Brooklya, N.Y. to the two girls with her, one of whom gaily cracked a nut with her teeth to facilitate matters. “Sometimes Mary gets a job on candies,” boasted the laundress, “the work she does sells to the best places, ma’am. When they’re done up in fine boxes they look sumpin’ wonderful.” Leaving some money, Mrs. Blindly started for home. But on the way she thiew her candy and nut meats away, and dire thoughts about the new suit filled her with apprehension. Near the corner where she waited for a car, a moving picture house flaunted lurid pictures of murders and other charming crimes, and from its doorway poured a throng of young people avidly discussing the details of what they had seen. Mrs. Blindly gazed at them with fear. If her child tucked away so snugly, blocks and blocks away, could be reached through candy, nuts and clothing, perhaps too these strangely reared humans might some day stretch forth psychic tentacles and— But she stopped the thought. When she reached her own door Mrs. Seeit was also returning. “Had a good time,” she announced with shining face. ‘You miss it not being a suf- fine to want to accept responsi- bilities—to want to get out and help better conditions.” “Politics is no concern of mine. Outside things don’t affect me,” began Mrs. Blindly getting off her parrot phrases. But all at once—she choked—and stopped. Suddenly she beheld a vision, for back of all she had seen that day stood an orderly row of public officials and on each manly breast there lay a label: “Ballots made me.” How History Repeats Itself HEN Homer thumped his little lyre In semi-prehistoric ages, The fashion of his wife's attire Disturbed the matrons and the sages. They shricked: “Her peplum’s laced with string! There's too much danger of it busting! It's too risque for anything!!! Disgusting!!! When Arthur ruled in Camelot, A Camelot Protective Leaguer Became extremely wroth and hot, And claimed that styles were far too meagre. “Observe,” he moaned, “our gracious Queen! She says her wimple is de rigge! She can't fool me; for I have seen Her figger!" When Montespan and Pompadour Created styles and acted haughty, From countless throats there rose a roar, Declaring that their gowns were naughty. When hoopskirts later came to view, A million voices thundered “Shocking! We see an inch—and sometimes two!— Of stocking!” Each time there comes a shift in style, To change the contour of the ladies, Some prude will always call it vile, And tell us that it looks like Hades. Although his words may bear a sting For some, do they affect me? Never! Nice girls look nice in anything Whatever! —K. L. Roberts.
