This page is primarily **advertising** for typewriter courses, cleaning products, hotels, and legal services—typical of early 20th-century magazines. The editorial content includes an announcement about the **American Press Humorists' annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee** (October 1916), detailing social activities like fox hunts, automobile trips, and banquets—reflecting the leisured social world of newspaper humorists of that era. Two brief humor pieces appear: "Listening" jokes that a husband's silence mirrors romance in literature, and "Secrets" is a poem (by M. Londbargh Wilson) playing on the idea that if walls could talk, they'd reveal household secrets. These are gentle domestic humor typical of the period, poking fun at marriage and household life rather than anything political or controversial.

Wasbiegton, D.C American Press Humorists HE American Press Humorists will hold their annual meeting at Nashville, Tenn., the first week in October, and accord- ing to Dixon Merritt, Secretary-Treasurer, the gathering will be unusually large, per- haps as large as that at Cleveland two years ago. Last year’s meeting at San Francisco drew more largely from the west than from the east. Mr. Merritt says that several cities are keen for the meeting in 1017, among them being New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus, O., Grand Rapids ig a ulls and Springfield, Mass. The headquarters in Nashville for the forthcoming meeting will be the Hotel Hermitage. Monday, October 2, will be de- voted to an informal reunion of the brothers in the blessed bonds, with dinner at one of the clubs. On Tuesday there will be an automobile trip to places of interest, including the home of Andrew Jackson ‘and two or three other modern houses at which there will be things to eat,” with dinner later at the Nashville Golf and Country Club. The programme for Wednesday is not yet settled upon. There will be a special train to one of three places—to Columbia, for a fox hunt and dinner dance; to Monteagle, embracing much scenery and a dance, or to Sebowisha, with equal scenery, and the addi- tion of fishing. The dinnér will be inevita- ble in any case. If Columbia is not chosen, the fox hunt will be staged another day. On Thursday the bunch will go to Belle Meade and other farms where thorough- breds are bred and trained, with lunchcon at the Sunrise Automobile Club. That eve- ning the annual banquet will be enjoyed a the Hotel Hermitage. On Friday autos will be taken to Mint Spring Inn or some other suitable place for the characteristic Southern barbecue, pro- vided by the Colonel and served by Uncle Hercules and Aunt Minerva, with consider- able plantation melody and other things on the side. On Saturday it will be a case of dodging entertainment, for there will be more than can be assimilated even by humorists. Listening “This is certainly a romance truc to marricd life.” “How so?” “The husband hasn’t said a word for six chapters.” Secrets F walls could speak, we know full well Some wondrous stories they would tell; No secret possibly could hide, For all they hear is on the side. Could ceilings speak, they would still more Increase the circulating lo Full brimmed would be the gossips’ cup, For what they hear is higher up. But if the floors could only speak No farther would we have to seek; All problems would be clearly met Since to the bottom they must get. —Mc. Landburgh Wilson.
