What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, featuring a hotel promotion for the Hotel Martinique in New York City (rates $1.50-$3.00/day), alongside smaller ads for ink pencils and foot powder. The editorial content consists of two **romantic short stories in verse**: "He Who Hesitates" (about golf and love distraction) and "Game" (a marriage proposal scene). These appear to be light satirical fiction typical of Judge's humor—the "Game" story's humor derives from the protagonist's awkward, business-like marriage proposal to a woman who assumes wealth, only to learn he has $106. **No political cartoons or caricatures are visible.** The page reflects 1920s-era American values: courtship anxieties, economic preoccupation (the proposal's focus on poverty), and gender dynamics where a woman's initial interest hinges on financial prospects. The stories' tone is gently mocking of romantic convention rather than politically pointed.

The wind sighed through the forest. “T have long considered asking you to be my wife,’’ he said. “‘Is that a threat or a suggestion?" she softly asked. ‘*Neither,’’ he declared. ‘‘It is an intro- duction to an important proposition which I have to make to you."’ ‘And the proposition is’’. “Is this: I should like you to feel that you are entertaining my proposal with a full knowledge on your part of all the prem- ises, provisions, considerations and conse- quential relations involved. In short and to wit, as follows: I am as poor asl am proud; business is bad, and I see no more signs of making a fortune suited to your beauty than I do of having such a fortune at this moment. I am, in the business world, a flivver. Will you marry me?” She looked at him with a slowly dawning horror in her scintillant eyes; her lissome figure shrank from his touch; her breath came in short, quick gasps. ‘*Then why— do you ask—me to marry you?"’ “*Because I love you.”” Red of “Vulean” Ink Pencils WHEN YOUR FEET ACHE pare From Corns, Bunions, Sore or Callous Spots, Blisters, The ONLI Mpencile st woterate | | New or tight shoes, try Allen’s Foot-Ease, the antiseptic Leng powder to be shaken intothe shoes.
