What you’re looking at
This is a mixed advertising and editorial page from Life magazine (likely early 1900s based on style). **Left side**: A White Mountains tourist advertisement emphasizing leisure activities—golf, tennis, mountain climbing, fine dining—accessible within ten hours of New York via rail. It appeals to affluent leisure travelers. **Center/right**: A Metropolitan Magazine advertisement featuring an article titled "What of the Lover?" that poses a provocative question: if women achieve independence and freedom (a contemporary social debate), how will this affect romantic relationships? The piece invites readers to consult Havelock Ellis, a real English sexologist, for analysis. This reflects genuine 1910s-era anxiety about women's changing social roles. **Bottom left**: A humorous anecdote about Scottish golf, playing on dialect humor and the caddie's deadpan response—typical period comedy. The scattered aphorisms mock various modern anxieties: materialism, aviation risk, women's behavior, and financial vulnerability—reflecting early 20th-century preoccupations.

Afternoon—A mountain climb—a woodland capi cg snappy an ‘wih: the fragrance of balsam, or, a hotel porch—and easy chair— the dinner call and a dinner for an ep- icure.

A modest and improving play- er asked his caddie, “I suppose you have seen worse players than me?” There was a long silence. The question was repeated in a louder voice. Then the answer came in a querulous tone; “Aye, man. A heard ye fine the first time, but we maun gie a buddy time to think.”—Western; Christian Advocate.

PERSONAL Si} 18 East 45th > E YOU will find a number of other readable articles aside from Mr. Ellis’ interesting study in the June Metropolitan. Some promising titles are “Theodore Roosevelt — Please Answer,” by M. E. Stone, Jr.; “The Life Story of J. P. Morgan,” by Carl Hovey; “Buried Treasure," by Ralph Paine; “Mrs. Maxon Protests," by Anthony Hope. And if you enjuy good short Stories this rich number of the Metro- politan will not disappoint you. If woman secures thit free- dom and independence for which she is successfully striving, what will be the effect on man, the lover? An interesting question, isn’t it?— perhaps the most im- portant one that the “new woman’’ will be called on to consider. We have asked Mr. Havelock Ellis, the leading English authority on sex psychology, to dis- cuss this question, and his article in the June Metro- politan is one that will be of profound interest to all women — and the men, too.
