What you’re looking at
This page contains a serialized romantic story (continued from page 576) about workplace romance and class complications. The plot concerns a go-between named Corby who has been delivering messages between a young man (Trayne) and Miss Ward. When Corby reveals he told his employer Craigstone about the courtship to protect his job, Craigstone coldly rejects the proposal. The dramatic twist comes when Craigstone reveals Miss Ward is actually his daughter—information Trayne apparently didn't know, suggesting he was courting above his station without realizing it. The page also contains period advertisements for Arnica Tooth Soap, W.P. Willis & Co. imported fabrics for gentlemen, and Palmolive Soap, which uses an illustration titled "My Daughter" to market beauty products by appealing to fathers' pride in their daughters' complexions.
