What you’re looking at

# "The Man With the Different Eyes" and "Why Auction Players Go Mad" The page contains two distinct pieces: **Top story**: "The Man With the Different Eyes" by Cyril E. Egan tells of a man whose mismatched eyes (one beautiful, one evil-looking) attract a woman who becomes obsessed with his "evil eye." She eventually steals his eye patch, suggesting psychological obsession with perceived defects. **Bottom cartoon**: "Why Auction Players Go Mad" satirizes bridge or card game instruction. The illustration shows a professor teaching auction bidding to female students while other women observe. The caption jokes that students struggle to understand which suit color (red vs. black) makes the best bid—poking fun at both the complexity of auction rules and, perhaps, the difficulty of teaching women card games.
