What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **fashion column** titled "The Foibles of Fashion," discussing women's clothing trends (ear gladys, alpacas, chiffon gowns). It's not a political cartoon. The page includes three portrait photographs: - **Miss Hope Koss**, an actress, shown in a white chiffon gown with puffed sleeves - **Garrett W. McEnerney**, identified as "a distinguished young lawyer whose marriage was announced this week" - **Mrs. O. W. McEnerney** (photograph by Baker) The text discusses current fashion details and includes an advertisement for **Schilling's Best Tea** ($1.25/pound). The McEnerney photographs appear to announce a recent marriage—a social item rather than satire. The content reflects The Wasp's mixed focus on fashion commentary and society news.
