This page combines advertisements with promotional content for Scribner's Magazine's August 26th Fiction Number. **The Cartoon ("It Makes a Difference"):** A couple discusses engagement rings. The man asks why she won't pick one out; she replies they can't afford it. The joke satirizes economic anxiety during this period—even a seemingly straightforward romantic milestone is blocked by financial constraint. The title suggests their financial status fundamentally changes the nature of their relationship and life plans. **The Pompeian Night Cream Advertisement:** Markets complexion cream by playing on women's anxieties about sun damage from summer activities (beaches, mountains). It promises to restore beauty through nightly use, targeting middle-class women concerned with maintaining their appearance for "social needs." **Scribner's Magazine Promotion:** Lists short stories and novelettes by established authors (Kate Douglas Wiggin, James B. Connolly, John Galsworthy), emphasizing entertainment value and literary quality to attract readers.

In the distance the metropolis they had left behind them lifted its minaretted outline to the afternoon sky. A short time before they had started out in their motor car to make their annual trip through New England. Suddenly, with a cry of alarm, the young wife stopped her husband, “We must go back!” she cried. “I'm sorry, but it is absolutely nece We must return at once.” Her husband looked at her grimly “What have you forgotten?” he muttered, as he wiped the perspiration from his brow.
