What you’re looking at

# Analysis of Life Magazine Page 706 This page contains three separate items: 1. **"Prize-Winners, Ahoy!"** announces results of Life's title-contest competition. About 750 answers were received; judges are selecting winners using criteria explained in previous contests. 2. **"A Good Example"** (main article) reports that Major Charles Gordon, 94 years old, married his fifth bride—a millionaire's daughter. The accompanying cartoon depicts an elderly groom looking worried, with the caption "I wonder if I can help master. He looks as though he were getting into trouble." 3. **"For Belgian Relief"** requests funds for feeding Belgian children, noting the Belgian Relief Commission needs one million dollars monthly from the United States. The page appears to be from WWI era (Belgian relief context), mixing light satire about marriage with serious humanitarian appeals.
