What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **advertising content**, not satire or political commentary. The main advertisement promotes **Woodbury's Facial Soap**, a real skincare product marketed to women with sensitive skin. The ad uses period-typical beauty messaging about skin care routines and offers a 25-cent trial set. On the right side is **"Limelight Lyrics,"** a poem about the plot of "The Bat," apparently a theatrical production or film featuring the character Miss Cornelia Van Gorder—a female detective who coolly investigates mysterious crimes at her country house. The poem celebrates her fearlessness and detective prowess. At the bottom is an advertisement for **Pope's Diapepsin**, a digestive aid product. This is primarily a **commercial magazine page** designed to reach female readers through beauty and entertainment content, with no significant political or satirical message beyond standard period advertising conventions.

Is your skin exceptionally sensitive or delicate? S your skin always been especially hard to take care of? Wind, sun, dust, exposure—do they irritate and roughen its delicate texture? In cold weather do you have to give it constant attention? You can correct this extreme sensitiveness. By giving your skin every day the care it needs, you can overcome its tendency to become painful, irritated on the least occa- sion. The right treatment for a tender, sensitive skin Use every night the following treatment for a sensitive skin: Dip a soft washcloth in warm water and hold it to your face. Then make a warm water lather of Woodbury’s Facial Soap and dip your cloth up and down in it until the cloth is “fluffy” with the soft, white lather. Rub this lathered cloth gently over your skin until the pores are thoroughly cleansed. Then rinse, first with warm, then with clear, cool water, and dry carefully.

One dark evening Miss Van Gorder Finds her country house the scene Of strange noises and disorder, And she wonders what they mean. Housemaid Lizzie screams for “} A pistol barks and someone's s) From that moment things develop Like a motion-picture plot The murderer escapes and bafiles All pursuers, leaves them flat; "Tis the famed Long Island Raffles, Known and dreaded as “the Bat” Miss Van Gorder now gets busy, Searches every room and fic While the shricks of housemaid Liz Almost drown the thunder’s roar, As the thrilling scene’s enacted You can scarcely bear the strain, And you watch with brow contracted Every shadow on the pane, Till the quiver of a curtain Sets you thinking of your past, And each moment you are certain Will be Miss Van Gorder’s last. If you think that she was frightened, That is where you lose your bet Though it thunderstormed lightened She was not a bit upset; She was cool as a cucumber, Not the least afraid to die; She would get that burglar’s number, Or she'd know the reason why, I won't tell you how she got it— That's the playwright’s job, not ming; And if you should ask me what it Is, again I must decline. Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper Want you to enjoy the play— They'd be in an awful temper If I gave “The Bat” away! “} THOUGHT YOU EXPECTED A CALLER TO- NIGHT, DAUGHTER?” : DIAPEPSIN AIDS sts DIGESTION .
