What you’re looking at

This page contains two distinct sections: **Left side:** An article titled "All but the Essential" critiques the SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) for having a "resounding title" but "weak" prevention organs and disappointing results. The piece argues the organization needs more focus and resources. **Right side:** A cartoon advertisement for "Souvenir Locks of His Hair" depicts a man at a desk handing out hair samples to women, with a caption warning ladies about hitting baseballs and golf, suggesting they should protect themselves with "cute little samples" (presumably hairpieces or bonnets). The satire mocks both excessive souvenir collecting and period attitudes about women's physical safety in sports. The page also contains a music section reviewing the Boston Symphony Orchestra season.
