What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct sections: **"Love and the Law"** discusses a quote from Rebecca McCann (newly married to novelist Harvey Ferguson) critiquing breach-of-promise lawsuits as absurd—arguing love cannot be legally owned or compensated. **"A Family Tragedy"** humorously recounts the Inkle family's investment in their son Bertrand's singing voice through expensive training, only to see him pursue grand opera instead of becoming a train announcer—implying this was a wasteful outcome. **"Breezing Along"** is a lighthearted dating anecdote about a college student named Freddy Frosh courting a woman named Arabella, noting her use of Neet hair-removal cream. The remainder is advertising: two full-page product pitches for **Palmolive Shaving Cream** (offering free samples) and **Neet** hair-removal cream, typical of magazine monetization in this era. These ads target male and female readers respectively through humor and testimonial-style copy.

Love and the Law “A man can count uncounted gold, ‘A\ni land and buildings tall; But love is just to give away; It can't be owned at all.” So, one time, wrote Rebecca McCann, who has just been married to Harvey Ferguson, the novelist. And we wish there were some way by which this bit of verse could be embodied in the law of the land, For it expresses perfectly the principle which makes that jewel of prudence, the breach of promise n utter absurdity. —New York World. our jul suit, A Family Tragedy Tur Inkle family was proud of the voice of its son, Bertrand. Bertrand spoke, when he was still quite a child, with a splendid furry bass. ‘The family took every care that nothing should hap- pen to rob him of this personal capital. \ weekly visit was made to the office of a throat specialist. Experts in respiration and vocalization called upon him eve! y to give him lessons. The beauty of his voice grew more remark- able every day. ‘The family sat back and rubbed its hands, There was now no further doubt of it. Bertrand would be- come train announcer in some large and cathedral-like station. And then Bertrand went into grand opera—kron Beacon Journal. Re 6 GO 99 Breezing Along says Freddy Frosh, “with Arabella is one hot way of soaking up an April Sunday. A giddy earful of chatter and Oh! Boy, an eyeful of what it takes to make a Scotchman’s son tear out his hair for the chance to shoot his next month's allow- ance on a bite of lunch for two, And I'm not Scotch.” Arabella is well acquainted with her ceries, Her cosmetics too, it seems, Neet, the ready-to-use cream that removes hair from arms, underarms and legs, is one of her stand-bys, You other Arabellas—get acquainted with Neet.
