One of several drawings that accompanied a satirical article entitled, 'Style Rules the World: Life's Fashion Reform League Now Has Control of American Women Better Be One of Us Before you Grow Any Older.' The article promoted a fictitious school for style-conscious people. The inscription on the altar, 'Ora Pro Taftis' ('Pray for Taft'), is a comment on Roosevelt's intention to run against incumbent President William Howard Taft, whom he had practically hand-picked as his replacement four years before.
