Single issue weekly magazine published as a supplement to the New York Press Sunday edition Newspaper.

This issue contains an illustrated feature on unusual marriage customs written by the somewhat prolific turn of the century woman writer, Helen M. Winslow . Also included is a very early shot fiction piece by John T. McIntyre, who would write a number of mystery and crime novels in the early 20th century.

This copy is sound and neat with light soiling to covers top edge of the front cover and to top corner tip of the first few leaves. Quite scarce; only the NY Public Library holds a few physical issues of this short lived magazine. VG to VG+. Seller Inventory # 50935
