Description

Cover : At the theatre, high hats fashion blocking the view, art by F. T. Richards.

– Two page centerspread art by W. de Meza, The flowers that bloom in the winter.
– Some current events include : Miss Elaine Goodale is a friend of the Indian (Native American) and is marrying one, Mr Rudyard Kipling has been writing impression of the United States, New York State Board of Arbitration suggests that railroad workers be enlisted for stated periods (not to be fired or to quit).
– OH MY, this is dated and not politically correct: the editor says, “Our estimate of the negro and the Indian races is that they are both inferior, but the inferiority of the Indian, which shows in his inaptitude for civilized life and unwillingness to work, has always inspired more or less of our respect.  But then the editor says that perhaps the time is coming when we can gladly do something for him.
– And many more smaller artworks, cartoon art, and ads … a very entertaining vintage publication!
