What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and literary promotion** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **"He Surprised Us"**: A promotional piece for *Everybody's Magazine*, promoting Owen Wister's serialized novel "The Virginian" and encouraging subscriptions. **"The Sick Man's New Problem"**: A book review of Pierre Loti's *The Disenchanted*, discussing the French author's novel about oppressed Turkish women—specifically educated, Paris-dressed upper-class women confined behind harems despite their intellectual sophistication. Loti apparently argues for their liberation. **"In a Savings Bank"**: Anecdotal humor about working-class and elderly people depositing small amounts in savings banks, emphasizing class and cultural differences. The page also contains advertisements for Lea & Perrins Sauce, Sanderson's Mountain Dew Scotch whisky, Hartshorn Shade Rollers, and farm sales. The satirical content is minimal—mostly gentle social observation rather than sharp political commentary.

His “Iceland Fish- erman,” “Madame Chrysantheme” and “The Mar- riage of Loti” have been liked by many on this side of the Atlantic, although they contain little of that “action” which the reviewers are fond of talking about. Loti’s poetic, impressionistic books are as unlike as possible the favorite types of fiction, but they are none the less good. To the wandering naval captain, who has found the leisure to write twenty-seven volumes, the favor- ite field has been Turkey, Constantinople, Stamboul, Ispahan. He comes back to the Turk again in he Disenchanted”—but with a purpose. His book is a plea for the oppressed, for the married women who are forever shut behind the lattices of the harem. The astonishing thing, as Loti pre- sents their case, is the condition of advanced educa- tion and culture of these upper-class Turkish women They are dressed from Paris, live in French bou- doirs, speak the European languages, read Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, as well as Loti and Gyp—and with all this these women may never talk with a man. The pity of it! The thrce charming, veiled Mussulmans who con fide their troubles to the author are all divorced or widowed; two of them finally commit suicide rather | than reenter the married state. ‘The fate of Djenane pathetic little tale pparently two wi tion for Turk out of this woman less education or more liberty. had, the former is impossible lem for the Sick Man of the East is the N We extend him our deep sympathy.
