What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising with two short humor pieces**. The main content includes: **Advertisements:** - **Fiberloid**: Promotes celluloid toilet articles (combs, brushes, mirrors) marketed as durable gifts - **W.L. Douglas Shoes**: A major shoe manufacturer emphasizing value, durability, and 40 years of customer trust - **Faultless Pajamas**: Holiday gift advertising **Humor Pieces:** 1. **"In the Art Museum"**: A dialogue sketch about an absent-minded woman who loses her museum coat check and wanders the galleries searching for it, treating it as a puzzle rather than asking for help directly. 2. **"Foiled at Last"**: A brief comedic anecdote about a recurring household annoyance—a front collar button that persistently escapes under the bureau. The narrator finally moves the furniture, only to have it continue its frustrating escape route anyway. Both humor pieces employ gentle, relatable domestic comedy typical of 1920s Life magazine's style.

Foiled at Last My front collar button is like the front collar button of every other individual. It is possessed of seven devils, and about our house there are no swine into which to drive them, the devils, so that they, the swine, shall rush into the sea and be drowned. Therefore my front collar button takes it upon itself to do the rushing and, there being no sea handy, it rushes under the bu- reau and hides. Already, though we have been in our new home only long enough for one raise in rent, its shank has worn a groove in my bedroom floors. 3548 Today being Saturday, I was put- ting it in a clean shirt. Suddenly it jerked from my fingers. Plink! it landed on the floor and away it started over its old, familiar, well- worn route. “Ha! Ha! Ha!” Ilaughed. “Ho! Ho! Ho!” I had moved the bureau. D. M. T. Coué in the Home Mrs. NewLywep: Dearest, this is the first dinner I ever cooked. Mr. Newtywep: Wonderful! One could easily mistake it for the third or fourth. W. L.DOUGLAS $5 $657 &§8 SHOES.ctvous W.
