What you’re looking at
This page contains three distinct items: 1. **"Real Romance"** - A short story excerpt about a romantic couple, illustrated with a sketch of horses by a fence. 2. **"Peace Prospects"** - An article discussing German peace overtures regarding Belgium, likely from WWI era. It references Professor Delbrück from Berlin and Dr. Dernberg, suggesting diplomatic negotiations. 3. **"The Boy"** - A cartoon showing a child amid household items with the caption about "damned apples" causing trouble, playing on the Adam and Eve biblical reference as a joke about childhood mischief and blame-shifting. 4. **"Why She Could Remember What He Forgot"** - A brief humorous piece about memory and distraction. The page mixes romantic fiction, war commentary, and domestic humor typical of early 20th-century satirical magazine content.

Professor Delbruck says so from Berlin; Frofessor Von Mach says so in Cambridge, and Dr. Dern- burg says so, It is good news as far as it goes, and may save trouble and expense, though how far Germany's wishes will affect the settlement that follows the war cannot yet be caleu- lated. Just at this writing the fall of Przemysl, with the loss of many men and some consonants, is still the last important war news, but there is a lively confidence, backed by the money of bettors, that the war will be over on the first of July.
