What you’re looking at

This page contains advertisements and articles rather than political cartoons. The main content promotes "Famous Actresses as Fashion Editors"—a marketing campaign where renowned stage actresses like Sarah Bernhardt, Julia Marlowe, and Annie Russell would design and endorse clothing for *The Ladies' Home Journal*, leveraging their fashion credibility to sell magazines and fashions to women readers. The satirical article "Honor Among Husbands" is a social commentary suggesting that if husbands operated under an "honor system" (like prisoners or students were beginning to), they might tell their wives the truth occasionally, supposedly improving domestic life and "human regeneration." "On Life's Wire" appears to be a witty dialogue mocking Attorney-General McReynolds's prosecution of the Coal Trust, implying his zeal for antitrust action is motivated by financial self-interest rather than principle.

Famous Actresses as Fashion Editors Every actress must know how to dress well. It is part of her business. It becomes part of her very nature. This feeling for good dress the most famous actresses will now try to impart to other women in actual designs that they themselves like, have worked over, corrected, personally approved and signed. In each of several issues of THe Lapies’ Home JourRNAL a famous actress will act as a fashion selector and editor and submit designs; one will show dancing dresses; another will show street dresses; a third will show party dresses; another evening dresses. Madame Sarah Bernhardt shows her wonderful taste by selecting Three Evening Dresses in the October Lapres’ Home Journac. After Madame Bernhardt Annie Russell will present Greek dresses will present girls’ dresses Mary Anderson Geraldine Farrar will present five o’clocktea dresses _ will present afternoon dresses Billie Burke Laurette Taylor will present charming blouses will present girls’ frocks Julia Marlowe THE LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL for November 15 Cents: On Sale Everywhere THE CURTIS PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDEPENDENCE SQUARE, PHILADELPHIA Honor Among Husbands HE honor system is now being generally used among convicts for work on roads. It has been adopted in Colorado, Oregon and Washington, and will undoubtedly spread eastward. It, has also become a part of our educational system in which the pupils are placed upon their honor. It is undoubtedly a good thing. Why not extend it to husbands? If all husbands could be placed upon their honor, would it not, in the course of time, raise their self-respect and accomplish good domestic results? We fully appreciate what this iconoclastic suggestion means, but suppose, for example, that the average husband could get into the habit of telling his wife the truth, even a part of the time. Would not this tend toward the ultimate regeneration of the human race? On Life’s Wire LO, Lire?” “Yes.” “This is Attorney-General McRey- nolds speaking.” “Good morrow, sir. How are all the statutes and the legal technicalities and the perplexing verbosities this morning?” “ About as usual, Lire. But did you read about my activities in connection ith the Coal Trust?” “Yes. Glad you brought the sub- ject up. Realizing that you were a young and struggling Attorney-Gen- eral and ought to have a chance, we rather hated to refer to it ourselves,” “ Hated—to—refer—why, Lire! You mystify me completely. What in the world are you talking about? You don’t suppose I would shy at a com- tliment, do you?” “Compliment!” “Yes. [was talking about my prose- cution of the Coal Trust. Don’t you consider that laudable?” “Inasmuch as we hold no stock in the Coal Trust, Mr. McReynolds, we must answer you in the negative.” “What!” “You are prosecuting it under the Sherman Anti-trust Act, are you not?” “To be sure!” “Well, then, frankness, veracity and conscience all compel us to say that If You Wish To Please Some Man This Christmas give him “A Man's Buckle’? and belt.
