What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and fiction**, not political satire. The dominant content features Franklin Simon & Co. boudoir gowns with fashion illustrations (items 249 and 259). The left column contains two non-satirical pieces: a short romantic story titled "Knew His Job" about Easter lilies and a young couple, and an article "Lawyers and Lawyers" discussing legal figures including Lewis Seibold and Sherman L. Whipple. The article references a "Warren case" involving cross-examination practices. Additional advertisements include Parker fountain pens and E. Hayes shoes. **No political cartoons appear on this page.** The content reflects early 20th-century magazine formatting: fiction, legal commentary, and fashion advertising mixed together without apparent satirical intent toward contemporary politics.

Robert had brought her a splendid Easter lily, “I'll give you a kiss for that lily,” she promised blushingly. The exchange was duly, not to say happily, made. Robert started hurried- ly toward the door. “Why, where are you going?” asked his girl in surprise. “To the florist’s for more Easter lilies!” he replied. Lawyers and Lawyers EWIS SEIBOLD, correspondent of the World, in reporting the enquiry as to Mr. Brandeis, described Moorfield Storey as “a lawyer of recognized standing and ability,” and mentioned Sherman L. Whipple as “of equally high standing.” But Mr. Whipple's standing is differ- ent from Mr. Storey’s. The Federal District Attorney, as reported in the Times, spoke of Mr. Storey as the head of the Boston Bar, and called Mr. Whipple “ the greatest litigating lawyer in New England.” That was nearer right. Mr. Whipple enjoys the reputa- tion of being so formidable and so merciless in cross-examination that lawyers with clients or witnesses who are not adapted to stand baiting, com- promise cases rather than take the chances of damage to delicate wit- nesses at his hands.

Mr. Warren was by no means a tender flower, but Mr. Whipple caught him not at the top of health, and cross-examined him day after day until one night Mr. Warren went home and died.
