# Page 62: Story Prose with Illustration This page contains story prose under the heading "INTRIGUING STORIES, SPICED WITH PRETTY GIRLS!" The text depicts a conversation between two men discussing a woman named Marjorie and another woman named Rose Rossalin. One man appears to be seeking advice about rekindling romantic excitement by substituting one woman for another. Below the prose is a cartoon illustration by Jimmy Saborin (signed lower right) showing men seated at a table with nude or partially clothed women standing behind them. The cartoon's caption reads: "The smoke has me dizzy dear — I see spots before my eyes." The illustration is clearly meant as humorous commentary on the story's theme.
