# Page Description This is an interior story illustration and prose page from a pulp magazine. The top features an art deco-style drawing by Edouarde showing three women in 1920s-style bathing suits and decorative wraps, titled "Professor's Daughter" and referencing a "Sun-Tan Suit on wards." The prose below depicts a dialogue between characters named Colby and Miss Graydon regarding a threatening letter from someone called "The Scientist." Colby has apparently purchased property and refuses to be intimidated by warnings, while asserting his legal ownership rights to the grounds of what appears to be "Piedmont Castle." The passage emphasizes property deed documentation.

After all, in a measure, ‘The Scientist’ is victor, for I cannot permit the present owner of the property to assume any unnecessary risks. For, while the letter may be just a huge joke, it could—on the same prem- ise—be a dangerous threat; so, therefore, I must forbid you, Miss Graydon, to enter the grounds of ‘Piedmont Castle’ until I have made a full investigation,” Colby finished decisively. ‘“‘And since when, and from whon,, sir, did you receive the authority to forbid me entering the grounds of my own prop- erty?
