What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct pieces: **Left side:** A satirical poem titled "Lonely" about a woman whose male companions have all enlisted for military service (references to "the colors" and "over there" indicate World War I). She lists six named men at various locations—Newport, Riley, Dix, Gordon, Pelham, and Ayr—plus others including "Bert's on the border" and "Tom's 'over there'"—all apparently soldiers. The poem's dark humor pivots on her final complaint: with all these men at war, "who in the world's going to wait upon me?" The secondary cartoon "The Black-eyed Pupil" (drawn by Tex O'Rourke) appears unrelated—a boxing joke about a fighter asking for technique clarification. **Right side:** An advertisement for Ainslee's magazine's May issue, listing fiction titles and authors. The satire mocks civilian women's self-centered concerns during wartime mobilization.
