A large female figure wearing a fur-lined cape and holding a fan labeled “Fashion” is using a magic wand to create flower-strewn rain clouds that drive away the remnants of the presidential campaign and the marchers carrying banners that state “Down with Money Power,” “Down with Populism,” “Prosperity,” and “16 to 1,” leaving in her wake fashionably dressed men and women at a formal ball. Caption: That although the follies of the presidential campaign are vanishing, Fashion still reigns, and the doings of her votaries will amuse us the same as ever.
