This page is primarily **advertising** with one short comedic story. The main content includes: **"The Earlyweds Cook Dinner"** (right column): A humorous domestic sketch about a young married couple facing a crisis—their cook has quit the day Mrs. Earlywed's mother-in-law visits. The husband is miserable; the wife confidently calls the butcher ordering "French chops" with specific pronunciation, then contacts the grocer. The joke satirizes early-20th-century middle-class domesticity: the couple's pretension to refinement ("French" cuisine), their dependence on servants, and the wife's unflappable competence masking likely improvisation. **Advertisements** dominate: Red Cross Line cruise vacations, Hotel Imperial, Boghara Pearl Necklace, Wizard Repeating Liquid Pistol, and diamond/watch bargains. These reflect 1910s consumer culture targeting affluent readers. The page reflects Judge's audience: prosperous urbanites interested in travel, luxury goods, and domestic comedy.

Mr. Earlywed, in his shirt sleeves and with a luncheon doily tied around his waist, followed, abjectly mis- erable. “There is no use grumbling, Henry, It isn’t my fault your mother has chosen to visit us the very day the cook leaves.” “*If you could only find that cookbook !"" “I can’t waste another minute hunting for it. It is four o'clock now, and your mother will be here at six.”” Then Mrs. Earlywed called up the butcher. “Send some French chops up at once. French chops, yes--French—F-r-e-n-c-h —and if you haven't the French cut, let me know, as I don’t want any other kind, How many? Oh, a pound will do! That will give us two apiece and two or three over,"’ and with a comfortably assured ' smile Mrs. Earlywed called up the grocer, L “‘How much are your strawberries a 7 box? Henry, how many strawberries can 2 you eat? With their hulls off, I suppose 2 a box is only half full.’” Henry considered the matter carefally, t “I daresay I could get through a couple f of boxes.’” Y “Then nobody else could eat more than g a box. Send me four boxes, please. How Ie much is your spinach a—er—a box? Ten be cents a quart? Send up enough for four g people. Mrs. Willoughby has promised to send over Edna, the girl who takes her fo dogs out every day, to serve dinner for a us,’ she added to the miserable Henry. “She doesn’t know how to cook, but she ae can cook the chops while we are dressing he for dinner. Certainly lam not through,” to the waiting grocer. ‘‘How do you sell bu rhubarb a quart?) Twelve cents a stalk? at Send up a stalk, please—I mean a buneh be —yes, of course, a bunch of stalks, enough In for four people. And half a dozen ripe ba tomatoes.’” After which Mrs, Earlywed called up Be 0 the confectioner and ordered, ‘‘to be on the safe side,”’ half a gallon of ice cream and two dozen macaroons. “Now, Henry,’’ she cried briskly to her bewildered spouse, ‘‘you can wash the potatoes and put them on, open a tin of sardines, wash the lettuce, put some wafers on a plate and some olives on that cut-glass olive dish Cousin Margaret sent. Then you can cut the bread, fix the but- ter, and get down those large vegetable dishes in Haviland china—remember, the very largest. I will set the table."’ Half an hour later, Mr. Earlywed, who had broken two olive dishes and cut his hand on a tin of sardines, called Mrs. Earlywed to the kitchen. Reluctantly she left the dinner table, resplendent in her best wedding silver and china, and hurried to the kitchen. Mr. Earlywed comicbooks.com
