This is primarily an **advertising and editorial page** with minimal satirical content. The page features: **Advertisements:** - A De Luze & Fils wine advertisement for Bordeaux clarets and Sauternes (top) - Washburne's patent paper fasteners (middle right) - The Davey Tree Expert Company (bottom) **Editorial Content:** "The Literary Zoo" section satirizes the expansion of *Harper's Bazaar* magazine. The author humorously critiques how women's magazines combine disparate content—from philosophy ("Is There a Life After Death?") to domestic concerns ("A Novel Sewing Chair")—suggesting this reflects confused assumptions about female readers' intellectual capacity. The piece mockingly notes a typographical error in the philosophical essay, then absurdly contextualizes it among homemaking content. **No political cartoons appear on this page.** The satire is gentle and literary rather than political, targeting magazine editorial choices and assumptions about women's interests.

PIERCE CO., Boston GENERAL AGENTS FOR THE UNITED STATES @Jhelireraryfoow In Woman's Hours of Ease The enlargement of Harper's Basar in a form that makes it convenient for the music rack is another of the rapidly accumulating indications that woman and the home have come to stay. There is, it would appear, an obscure and indeterminate correlation between the dimensions of such peri- odicals and the moral and mental qualities of feminine readers—an un- conscious recognition, as it were, if recognition, as you and I understand it, can be unconscious (a question, we opine, for debate rather than for de- termination), of the pervading no- indeed, a notion, entertained, it is to be supposed, in the widest cait- ical sense, by the members of one cen- 75, 000, O00 Was WASHBURNE’S PAT. 99 PAPER FASTENERS swer there was, there was? Impatient past “O.K. nim ite ecnine cleaners in ADE LUZE & FILS stitch, lingerie and literature, paper patterns and psychology; here are menus for mind, body and soul, Frankly, our own particular inspection of the contents was prompted by an extract in the editorial press-sheet, re- printed in a fastidious daily newspa- per, announcing and sampling an essay by an eminent hand on that momen- tous topic, “Is There a Life After Death?” The extract read, in part; It is to the personality that the idea of renewed being attaches itself, and w nothing so much written over the ities of the world as that they are fin Piseatious and insusceptible. © A renewal o being, we ask for people who understan ib be ing, even here, where renewals of so possible, that way and that way, apparently, BORDEAUX FRANCE alone alone?

And the answer, the answer, if an- ly we sought it. You will find the sec- ond instalment in the February num: ber, quite deliciously sandwiched be- tween “The Housemother’s Prob- lems” and “ A Novel Sewing Chair.” Has the housemother attacked this problem, too?

What's that? We simply started out to say that the new Harper's Bazar, increased in contents, but not in price, is a bargain; but our literary passion betrayed us. The Bazar, you see, like other up-to-date magazines for women and the home, ministers not alone to feminine frills, fancies and fal-lals. It is what the musical programmes call a mélange. It is catholic, universal.
