What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief humorous anecdotes typical of *Life* magazine's satirical format, plus advertisements. **"Her Vision"** jokes about a wealthy woman's deliberate blindness to her husband's infidelity with his secretary—she claims not to "see" what others point out because acknowledging it would be unpleasant. **"Nobody Loves Me,"** illustrated with a sketch of a crying dog, appears to be a sentimental cartoon about loneliness. The other brief jokes mock various subjects: an Anarchist patient told to stop bombing, a Black man's clever avoidance of a KKK letter, and a child's optimistic answer that "tomorrow" is life's happiest day. **"Ignorantia Legis"** satirizes a young lawyer whose fancy Latin phrase ("Ignorance of the law is no excuse") backfires when a poor client sarcastically accepts he won't afford legal fees anyway. The page is primarily **advertising**: a luxury Cunard steamship cruise commemorating Thomas Cook's 50th anniversary (1923), and Shawknit hosiery for men emphasizing quality and brand recognition.
