What you’re looking at
This page contains two narrative elements: **Top Story: "If She Plied You with Perilous Lips"** A serialized romance/drama featuring characters named Wilda ("Wildfire"), Dagmar, and Perry. The text describes flirtation and romantic tension—Perry kisses Wilda, and when Dagmar discovers this, Perry claims Wilda initiated it ("she plied me with those lips"). The story appears designed to titillate 1920s readers with modern, bold female sexuality. A promotional note promises readers will "enjoy Wilda" by following her exploits in the magazine *Snappy Stories*, aimed at "the new generation." **Bottom Cartoons:** Two unrelated sports gags: one about seasickness (advertising Mothersill's Remedy), and one captioned "The college gymnast saves a score"—showing acrobatic students performing a rescue or stunt. The page exemplifies Judge's mix of serialized fiction, sports humor, and advertising—targeting young, urban readers interested in modern romance and entertainment.
