Scope and Contents
Vinegar valentine, with image of a well dressed man. Poem below image: "Go away you homely little dude, or I'll hit you with a feather, / I really think t'would make you wilt, though I'd prefer it leather. / As for your natty suit of clothes, that you love to sport about, / You'll stick it in a pawn-shop before the month is out. / The girls think you are silly, or what is even worse, / A dude who has an empty head, and owns an empty purse."
