# Page Analysis This is an interior magazine page featuring a black-and-white photograph of a woman in glamorous pose on a bench, wearing heels and a patterned garment. The accompanying text identifies her as Lillian Ellis, winner of a recent "gracefulness contest" held in New York. The caption humorously notes the physical difficulty of achieving "grace" in the posed position—sitting on one elbow with the spine extended—while enduring hours of photography sessions with multiple photographers. The credit reads "Century Photos." This appears to be a entertainment/lifestyle feature rather than fiction content.

. HRE-S1ieS THE GODDESS OF GRACE herself, Lillian Ellis, winner of a recent “gracefulness contest” held in New York. And if you don’t think sit- ting on one elbow and the end of the spine takes “orace”—try it, sometime, while a dozen photographers use up a half dozen hours posing you! Century Photos, COMICOoOokKS
