What you’re looking at
This page contains wartime-era satirical content and advertising. The main article, "A War-Time Honeymoon" by A. Walter Utting, sarcastically discourages newlyweds from taking expensive honeymoons during World War I. Instead of traveling to Niagara Falls, the author advocates staying home and investing money in war bonds ("Thrift Stamps"), mocking the idea of sightseeing when resources should serve the war effort. The tone suggests patriotic duty should override romantic celebration. The poem "Reconsideration" is a light romantic verse about declaring love. A sidebar titled "A Valuable Tip" encourages readers to mail the magazine to soldiers at the front, leveraging patriotic sentiment for circulation. Advertisements promote Judge art prints and Shecona Evans ale (marked "non-intoxicating"). The page reflects 1918 American anxieties about civilian sacrifice during WWI and the contemporary push for financial patriotism.

I would the sprites that dance at morn Would tell Philippa how I love her. She is the source of all delight; Life’s troubles melt and fade before her. Would that the elves that rule the night Would tell Philippa I adore her. But whilst invoking sprite and elf Suppose another chap should woo her? I think I'll tell the maid myself Or send my ardent message to her.
