What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, with minimal editorial content. The main substantive piece is a humorous short-form article titled "A Limited Wardrobe," a joke about an actress in an Ibsen play who isn't changing costumes but rather "making up her mind"—a reference to Henrik Ibsen's psychologically introspective theatrical style, where characters' internal deliberation matters more than action. The page also contains a brief satirical piece called "Mental Joy Wave Advancing," mocking a mail-order scheme promising mental/psychological self-improvement to subscribers who send money. The bulk of the page features product advertisements: U-All-No mints, Keystone Motor Oil and Grease (emphasizing proper automobile lubrication), Fatzoff weight-reduction remedy, and Abbott's Bitters. The small boxed item "Cheated" appears to be newspaper filler—a joke about a woman's tangled hair being compared to a "shrimp-high laborer." **No political cartoons appear on this page.**

After that you are an eligible. Remember that every humorist who ever lived is a regular contributor to the Mental Life. The coarse physical Life —which we understand is still running— is confined to the contributors who are what is termed “alive.” But the Mental Life has no such petty restrictions. Next week we begin a series of side- splitting dialogues by one of the most famous funny men in Egypt, who flourished six thousand years B.C. Some of his jokes are better than ever.

Mee Warren Bee (Sion years at st East 34th St) Automobiles would last twice as long Second-hand lists are crowded with cars worn out by poor lubrication.
