Cartoons illustrating the satirical article "Child-Holding" by Robert Benchley, showing men holding babies in various ways. One man wears glasses, a bow tie, and a vest, and smokes a pipe while holding a baby by the arm; another man wearing a bow tie holds a baby out at arms length while a man and woman look on, laughing; another man is hoisted onto a baby's shoulders while holding a bottle.
