What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct sections: a legal news article, book reviews, and advertisements. **"Monks Win Right to Chartreuse"** reports a Supreme Court decision protecting French Carthusian monks' exclusive rights to their liqueur trademark against a competing American company. The monks had fled France after 1901 government expropriations and continued manufacturing in Spain—the court upheld their trademark claims despite the French liquidator's efforts to commercialize the brand. **"Rhymed Reviews"** satirizes a novel called *The Dangerous Age*, mocking the premise that married women over forty become mentally unstable and impulsive. The reviewer uses humorous verse to lampoon both the book's sexist premise and a female character who abandons her marriage for romantic escapades. The remainder is advertising for **Allen's Foot-Ease** powder and **Polarine oil**, typical commercial content of the era. The satire targets both legal overreach and patronizing attitudes toward women—themes characteristic of Life magazine's reformist humor.

This volume proves by rule and case That married ladies passing forty Are always off their mental base, Deluded, whimsical, or sporty. When Elsic Lindiner reached the Age She felt a mighty impulse force her To quit the Danish social stage, And make her loving spouse divorce her. (You w dn't think he'd care a lot.) Then, lightly freed of Hymen’s fetters, She sought a lonely island ¢ And wasted daylight writing letters, Like this: “ Dear Lillie: "Round me lics A lovely swirl of foamy waters Which calls 10 mind how I despise Your placid self and lanky daughters ay But never mind these pleasant railings. How fortunate for us that men Are blind as bats to all our failings! re just a stork ! a brooding herf!— “So well we play our worldly parts, Assuming any pose that pleases, They never guess that all our hearts Are prey to nameless black diseases, “T know a nice young architect Who makes me think of Herbert Kelce You horrid t That's all Elsie.’ ing! You don’t suspect— Good-by, Your loving Well, thus she formed a sort of cult My chicf impression, slightly hazy Involves an ultimate result Of other ladies going crazy. The Suffragettes, I understand, Would tear the wicked book to tatters And hang the author out of hand; But why? I hardly think it matters. Yet, if upon our Western shores Mad Elsie’s lesson must be heeded, I'd say a course in scrubbing floors Was what the lady chiefly needed.
