If,
The Government has lifted the re
strictions on paper.
Now, I can give magazines of a size
I never dreamed of before.
I used to think a 100 -page Ladies'
Home Journal a marvel: this month it
is 184 pages.
Instead of 4 stories, we are giving 8.
Instead of 40 articles, we are giving
60 and 65 in each issue.
We gave our wonderful war pictures
in full colors. Now, we give not only
those but the pictures to our stories
have started in full colors.
Almost double in size is the magazine:
yet the price is the same: 15 cents.

When Paderewski
Closed His Piano
To become the Premier of Poland
we saw one of the most dramatic and
romantic pictures of the war. How
did it come about? Why did he give
up an income of $200,000 a year'
What did he say himself just before
he left America? Here is the com
plete story from Information from
his own stepson. It's in the May
Ladies' Home Journal.
Now, Mother
Really Would Not Behave!
So thought her big daughter and bigger son, and they didn't know
what to do! For mother would be young she would be happy; she
would push back her yellow locks of hair, smile at her big girl and boy,
and then she would do something
else. One day out went every
old dry' dusty book in the house:
the next day, old pictures would
go and new ones would appear.
New colors ran riot over the
house. Old wall papers went and
new cretonnes came. Then dinner
parties began. And mother would
go to the games. She would go
and live in the college town
where her children went. But
the climax came when the daughter came home to find her mother
swapping chocolate peppermints with her dignified Professor of Eng
lish Literature. That was too much! The daughter was in despair.
The boy merely said "Gee!"
It's just pure comedy in this story deliciously fresh, rol
licking with fun. You'll feel alter reading it as "rf you had a
bath of laughter.

But what do they mean by it? We
ought to know. It is already a question,
and it's going to be a bigger question.
The man who knows more about it than
anyone else is Secretary of the Interior
Lane. That's why The Ladies' Home
Joirnal asked him to explain it. And
he does in the May number. Read this
brief article and you know.
How I Wrote
The Battle Hymn
of the Republic
Do you know? The story is very in
teresting. Not at all in the way you
would think such a masterpiece might be
written. Julia Ward Howe, in her own
words, tells it in the May Ladies' Home
Journal.

Stories That
Will Make You Feel Young
The 1-Cent-A-Week
IVlan
A man refused a job at the rate of 1
cent for the first week 2 cents the
next double each succeeding week. The
employer then figured out how much he
would have earned at the S2d week. No

States Government couldn't. No one
could. How much do you think it was?
It's in the May Ladies' Home Journal.

Two Millions
of One Magazine
Last month the public pushed THE LADIES'
HOME JOURNAL beyond the 1,900,000 mark. Yet
over 20,000 persons were disappointed because
they couldn't get the magazine!
This month we not only touch the wonderful
2-million mark but go over it a figure that no
monthly magazine has ever reached: an un
charted land!
The magazine this month reaches the high
mark of 184 pages: 60 pages more than any May
number in its history.
That means the printing of 368 millions of
pages of one issue of one magazine an edition
so gigantic as to be almost unbelievable.

to print it.

" Tell This Intensely Personal Story
Only for One Reason"
Says an American War Bride
"Because I may convince some girl or wife that her job is not
through when her boy comes home from the war, but that it may just
have begun" And then she tells a story that words cannot describe.
Superlatives cannot do it justice. It is the most thrilling American
girl's story that has come out of the war: it will stay with every girl
and woman who reads it. Only an American girl could have stood up
under such an experience: only an American girl could tell it as she
docs. It is, of itself, worth your buying the May Ladies' Home Journal.
Whacked Him in the Face:
The First Time I Met' My Future Husband
Think of starting a courtship in that fashion: a marriage that was to last
for fifty years and jjive to one woman the greatest experiences that could come
to her. She really lived the most thrilling romance that a girl could read of or
dream of in her wildest dreams. She married Buffalo Bill ! And out into that
trackless West she went with him. Dangers on every side. And she met them.
One after another. What we formerly read in "dime novels" we now, read as
actually happening, and to a woman. For in the May Ladies' Home Journal
Buffalo Bill's widow begins her autobiography by telling what it meant
" Being Courted by Buffalo Bill."
Why Her Wfomen's Society
Went to Pieces '
Mrs. Elliott was president, and her
"society" just wouldn't "go." She
wanted to give it "all up." She couldn't
get at the trouble. Then, all of a sudden,
she did: a trouble that exists with a
great many women's clubs and societies.
There's a lot in this article for club
women. It's in the May Ladies' Homb
Journal, and it reads like a story, swift
and interesting.
