This pulp magazine issue contains four works of fiction and a press excerpt section. The main feature is "Soldiers Advance" by Harold Barton, depicting romantic tension between Lieutenant Clark Lacy and Delia Young, the Colonel's daughter. Their conflict centers on whether Clark will resign his commission to marry her; Clark ultimately hands Delia his resignation letter as proof of his seriousness, though she remains skeptical. The narrative concludes with Clark launching a determined romantic "siege." Other stories include "Mistress of Masquerade" by Allen Beckford (page 8), "Intriguing Little Imp" by Phil Strange (page 16), and "Miss Allen Meets Her Match" by Maud Cameron (page 22). A section of press extracts appears on page 33. The magazine is a quarterly publication by Detinuer Publishing Company.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
