# Page Analysis This is an interior story page containing both prose and an illustration. The text at top concludes a dramatic scene where a man accuses a woman named Lucy of tempting him with fudge, then declares he's "going to stick to love stories!" Below is a cartoon illustration by Parsons showing a woman peering around a doorway at a doctor's office (labeled "DR. JONES PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON PRIVATE"). The caption beneath reads: "Listen Dear— 500 announcement cards, a wedding ring and two tickets to Niagara Falls—quick!" The humor appears to derive from the woman attempting to pressure the doctor into marriage using these inducements. The style and content are typical of early-20th-century pulp magazine humor.
