What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** for the Angelus Player-Piano, with a secondary editorial piece titled "En Passant." The main content features a satirical illustration showing well-dressed diners in a hotel dining room, accompanying text by French observer Max O'Rell. His commentary mocks the social awkwardness of different nationalities at dinner: French couples are affectionate, English gentleman John Bull dislikes public dining, and Americans lack proper decorum. The piece gently ridicules cultural differences in dining etiquette and comportment. The Angelus ad emphasizes that their player-piano requires no musical training—anyone can play "perfectly" and masterfully. The appeal targets Summer hospitality venues and leisure activities, suggesting democratized access to cultural refinement through mechanical means.

You go to the dining-room, you take your seat, and you watch the arrival of the coupies, and you will know the position of men. In France Monsicur and Madame come in together abreast, as a rule arm in arm, They look pleasant, smile, and talk to each other. In England, in the same class of hotel, John Bull comes in first. He does not look happy. John Bull loves priv He does not like to be obliged to eat in the presence of lots of people who have not been intro- duced to him, and he thinks it very hard he should not have the whole dining-room to himself. That man, though, mind you, in his own house undoubtedly the most hospitable, the most kind, the most considerate of hests in the world, that man in the dining-room of a hotel always comes in with a frown, He does not like it, he grumbles, and, mild and demure, with her hands hanging down, mod- Cleanser and Mouth Wash In One Pulishes the teeth to dazzling whiteness, while its fragrant seis vam reaches every part of the mouth—neutraliz- Seale destroying acids preventing di _Strong’s Arnica Tooth Soap SSsina handy metal box—nothing to bi fal.
