What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and humor columns**, not political satire. The top half features a Red Cross Line cruise advertisement for a 12-day Northern voyage to Halifax and Newfoundland for $60—positioned as an exotic, European-like experience for American tourists. The right side contains **"Egg View Notes,"** a humor column with local small-town anecdotes (fishing mishaps, horses rolling in dust, etc.). Below are light comic sketches: "The Shattered Romance" plays on the phrase "honey bee" (stung); "Hall-Marked" jokes about inverted V-shaped cloth on a waistcoat supposedly signaling marriage; and a conversation between an American and Englishman contains mild cultural ribbing. The final piece, "Tips," humorously discusses tipping customs—servants, railroad porters, etc.—suggesting tips correlate with alcohol consumption and that habitual travelers accept constant tipping as inevitable. The humor is gentle, domestic, and focused on everyday social observations rather than political commentary.

Including every essential expense to Halifax, Nova Scotia, St. John’s, Newfoundland. No cruise on the Atlantic Seaboard so novel, so health- ful and so delightful. The splendid steamers Stephano and Florizel of the RED CROSS LINE built especially for the accommodation of tourists, have every modern safety device, with full boat equipment for passengers and crew, together with ample deck room, cuisine of real excellence, orches- tra, sca sports—all that goes to make the cruise more popular each year. This trip is delightfully broken up, giving atotal of 5 days in port (where the ship is your hotel) and 7 days at sea, giving ample time to visit the wonderfully inter- esting cities of Halifax and St. John’s, both as truly foreign as if you were in Europe.

Well, she became his honey bee, And people say that he got “stung.” Hall-Marked R. Eder (looking up from detective novel) —Oh, but Is Listen, will you? “The unfortunate victim’s clothes yielded no clew, though it was found that cloth in the shape of an inverted V had been set into the back of his full-dress waistcoat.” And they didn’t think’ that meant anything! 1, Butt—Well, what could it mean?

Americanadian—Then it must have beea the costumes. How were the costumes? Englishman—Ripping! Tips TIP is the end of something —especially of meals and of fellows who rock the boat. Servants, scales, hats and investors are some of the things that are tipped de tipping is frequently caused by spirits. The liberality of the tipping var directly with the amount of spirits used. When a servant is tipped, instead of losing his balance he adds to it. A road ticket office is a place where the railroad company receive tips for allow- ing you to enter their cars. The real fare is paid to an Ethiopian who presides over the Pullman. Accidents resulting from high speed sometimes lend verisimilitude to the claim that a traveler is one who courts race suicide. Habitual travelers, however, rea- lize that tips forever keep the berth rate in- creasing. —Violet M. Le Roy. comicbooks.com
