What you’re looking at

This page presents humorous advice to housewives on keeping husbands content at home. The cartoons illustrate three domestic scenarios: 1. **Top panel**: A wife hosting dinner while substituting caddies (golf equipment carriers) for servants—the joke being that if she can't afford servants, golf equipment will somehow make the husband feel "at home." 2. **Left panel**: References creating artificial bunkers and sand on floors to simulate golf conditions indoors. 3. **Bottom panel**: Shows converting the living room into a putting green by boring a hole through the rug and floor, with the caption suggesting this gives grounds for divorce if the husband still won't stay home. The satire targets both wives' domestic duties and the era's obsession with golf among wealthy men. It's gentle mockery of gender roles and male leisure priorities in what appears to be early 20th-century America.
