What you’re looking at

# Analysis of Life Magazine Page 7 This page contains several distinct pieces: **"Their Bugler"** is a poem mourning soldiers who died at Belleau Wood (a WWI battle), proposing a bugler rather than a monument to commemorate fallen soldiers. **"The Art of Selling"** is a brief comic dialogue where a secretary tells an insurance agent that a doctor advised the agent to quit smoking—so the agent should leave without speaking. The joke targets pushy salesmen. **"Fixing Done Quietly"** appears to be a small advertisement for a financial advisor/fixer named Fannon, offering services to settle money disputes discreetly. **"Recollections of a Havana Week-End"** is a nostalgic list of Havana bars and restaurants, likely appealing to wealthy American readers familiar with pre-Prohibition Cuban nightlife. The illustration shows a woman in a living room; the caption "What's Alice sore about? / Her riding lesson" suggests domestic humor about a woman's activities.
