The Wasp — 1895 — page 839: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and social notices** rather than political satire. The prominent "Pointers" column contains brief items about San Francisco businesses, services, and local personalities. The decorative initial "P" is the only illustration. The content includes ads for dentists, dancing schools, clothing stores, and various services. One item mentions "Bitts has left the church since he was elected," suggesting local political gossip, but provides insufficient context to identify the figure or significance. The "Music" section reviews Philadelphia's orchestra and discusses San Francisco musicians. Overall, this appears to be a **society/gossip page** typical of satirical magazines of this era, mixing local news with commercial notices rather than political commentary.
