What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct satirical pieces: **"Round and About"** presents a dialogue mocking Prince Funnyowsky and E.V.R., likely local San Francisco figures of minor social importance. The humor targets pretentious aristocratic posturing and gossip. **"The Plan All Right"** satirizes a Congressman's wife displaying photographs of their children, with the husband's smug comment that they look "about years younger than you do" — mocking both parental vanity and marital discord. **"The Summer Girl"** is poetic satire contrasting the celebrated beauty of summer girls with the equal charm of girls in other seasons, deflating seasonal romantic idealization. The page primarily targets San Francisco's social elite through gentle ridicule of vanity, pretension, and domestic absurdity rather than serious political commentary.
