This page is primarily **advertisements** with an embedded serialized story titled "Bigamy? No! No!" by William A. McInerny. The story concerns a domestic conflict between elderly wealthy Harold Van Tyne (sixty) and his young wife Gwendoline (twenty). She demands a larger weekly allowance than the $50 he offers. When he refuses, she threatens to leave him and immediately calls someone named "Jack" to pick her up in a car. Harold pursues her in his own automobile. The narrative setup appears to satirize **May-December marriages** and the financial tensions they create—a common theme in early 20th-century American humor. Gwendoline's dramatic escape and the title's reference to "bigamy" suggest the story will involve infidelity or some marital scandal. The bulk of the page consists of period advertisements for Vaseline hair tonic, diamond rings, a "1914 Timepiece" watch, credit jewelry, and leather purses—typical commercial content for a magazine of this era.

WILL not submit to such a miser- able allowance!’’ Gwendoline Van Tyne tossed her pretty head angrily and stamped her little foot on the polished floor. ‘‘Fifty dollars a week, and you worth nobody knows how many millions! It is outrageous!’’ Gwendoline was twenty. Harold Van Tyne, sixty, fussed nerv- ously with a pink slip of paper—the check for the first week’s allowance. Gwendoline had spurned it. “Very well, my pretty one,’’ he cack- led. ‘*It is so much saved. I'll not force it on you.’’ The trembling old man arose, seized his cane and started for the door. ‘‘Perhaps,’’ he called back over his shoulder, ‘‘when you think it overa while, you'll be glad to get fifty a week. Many men would turn you out.” “Stop!” cried Gwendoline. ‘‘I’ll go of my own accord—and you shall not halt me!’? ‘Little fear,’ he muttered, as he walked out; but instead of continuing to his room, as he had intended, he made his way through a hallway and to another door of the library, where he could stand unobserved behind heavy curtains. Gwen- doline had rushed to the 'phone the in- stant he left her. “Yes, this is Gwen,’’ she was saying. “Is that you, Jack? I must see you. It’s important. Yes, I'm going to leave him; he's utterly impossible! Will you come at once in the car? Then hurry.’’ She hung up the receiver and raced to her room, the old man in pursuit. But by the time his rheumatic old legs had carried him to the door of her boudoir, she had thrown a few toilet articles into a bag, snatched a veil, and was speeding down another stairway. Harold Van Tyne swore at his legs and his age and followed as best he could, calling loudly for the servants. He was half way across the garden when he heard the staccato roar of a motor exhaust and through the open door in the wall saw a big green car leap away. Three minutes later Van Tyne’s long French racer rolled out of the grounds and surged forward into the slowly settling dust of the other car. It was dark when Van Tyne’s motor came to a stop before a big stone build- ing. The chauffeur and footman helped him to alight, and he advanced on the little party on the steps, waving his cane as though intent on belaboring some one. Gwendoline stood on the steps in the cen- ter of the party. Her hand was on the broad shoulder of a young and exceed- ingly handsome man. For several min- utes Van Tyne glared at the pair. A policeman came along and dispersed the crowd that had gathered. “Married, eh?”’ said the old man finally. “T guess I might as well forgive you.”” Gwendoline was his daughter. —William A, McGarry 19 . 1 Timepiece The masterpiece of watch manufacture—the Burlington ms Special 19 Jewels, adjusted: to the second adjusted jtions—adjusted to pemperature, adjusted to isochronism.
