# Life Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three separate humor pieces: 1. **"The New-Voes Always Do the 'Right' Thing"** - A satirical article mocking upper-class social pretension. It humorously catalogs etiquette rules the wealthy obsess over (using fish forks correctly, entering drawing rooms gracefully) while implying their actual behavior is often crude or inconsiderate. 2. **"Two Out"** - A brief joke where Carrington admits he used his last blank check to overdraw his account, playing on financial irresponsibility. 3. **"Junkman" cartoon** - Shows a farmer rejecting a junkman's offer, claiming "there ain't so more junk, it's all anteeks now"—likely a post-WWI satire about how Americans were treating old items as valuable antiques rather than discarding them as junk. The overall theme reflects early 20th-century American class anxieties and economic commentary.
