What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct pieces: **"The Soviet" poem** (top left): A satirical verse mocking the newly-formed Soviet Union. It celebrates the "triumph of the Unwashed Face"—a jab at Bolsheviks, likely referencing their revolutionary rejection of aristocratic refinement and their perceived lack of civilization or proper conduct. Written by Mabel Haughton Collyer, it's anti-Communist propaganda disguised as witty poetry. **"Guise of Truth" prose poem** (top center): An allegory about Truth hiding behind "a thousand veils" of different colors and fashions, with a wise man pursuing her but never fully grasping her. Likely critiques Soviet propaganda or political deception—the idea that ideological claims obscure reality. **Advertisements** (right and bottom): Including "La Creole Hair Dressing" and "Tycos Barometer"—typical period advertisements claiming scientific/natural benefits. The page's satire targets Soviet communism as fundamentally deceptive and uncivilized, a common American attitude during the Red Scare era.
