A radiant bride at twenty--at twenty-five--what?

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Is the Husband or Wife to Blame? | | | |Is the husband or wife to blame for the tragedy of too many children?| | | |Margaret Sanger, the great birth control advocate, comes with a | |message vital to every married man and woman. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+

Thousands upon thousands of women today marry with the bloom of youth upon their cheeks. A few years of married life rub the bloom off. Children come, too many. And instead of the energetic, healthy girl we have a tired and bedraggled young-old woman. Why do women allow marriage, the holy thing, to work this wicked transformation?

MARGARET SANGER, the acknowledged world leader of the Birth Control movement and President of the American Birth Control League, has the answer for this most momentous problem of womankind. Every married woman knows only too well the tragedies resulting from ignorance of birth control.

Why should a woman sacrifice her love-life--a possession she otherwise uses every resource to keep? Why does she give birth to a rapid succession of children, if she has neither the means to provide for them nor the physical strength properly to care for them?

In her daring and startling book Margaret Sanger gives to the women of the world the knowledge she dared to print--the knowledge for which she faced jail and fought through every court to establish as woman’s inalienable right to know.

In “Woman and the New Race” she shows how woman can and will rise above the forces that, in too many cases, have ruined her beauty through the ages--that still drag her down today--that wreck her mental and physical strength--that disqualify her for society, for self-improvement--that finally shut her out from the thing she cherishes most: her husband’s love.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | PARTIAL LIST OF CONTENTS | | | | * Woman’s Error and Her Debt. | | Two Classes of Women. | | Cries of Despair. | | * When Should a Woman Avoid Having Children? | | Birth Control--A Parent’s Problem or Woman’s. | | * Continence--is it Practicable or Desirable? | | * Are Preventive Means Certain? | | * Contraceptives or Abortion? | | Women and the New Morality. | | Legislating Women’s Morals. | | Why Not Birth Control Clinics in America? | | Progress We have Made. | | | | * Any one of these chapters alone is worth many times the price | | of the book. | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+

In blazing this revolutionary trail to the new freedom of women, this daring and heroic author points out that women who cannot afford to have more than one or two children, should not do so. It is a crime to herself, a crime to her children, a crime to society. And now for the first time Mrs. Sanger shows the way out. And she brings to the women of the world the greatest message it has been their good fortune to receive.

“Woman and the New Race” is a book that will be read wherever womankind struggles with the ever-present danger of too many children. It is a startling, mighty revelation of a new truth, a work that will open the eyes of tired, worn womankind. It can with truth and honesty be called woman’s salvation.

Every woman in the country should have a copy of this remarkable and courageous work. For this reason we have arranged a special edition of “Woman and the New Race” at only $2.00 a copy.

_A Dollar will put Yourself in Her Place_

No matter who you are or where you live; no matter what your circumstances may be or how little or how much you spend on clothes, I think I can make it all a little pleasanter, easier and more satisfactory in the future.

Whatever dreams of stylish clothes you may have, here is an opportunity to make your dream come true. However much you have ever admired some woman of your acquaintance for the clothes she wears, here is an opportunity for you without trouble or bother or extra expense to put yourself in her place.

One Example Among Thousands

On this page I show you a perfectly lovely little model in one of the season’s newest fashions, exquisitely tailored in all-wool Purest Twill. It is a gem of a style. And as you examine it on the _fashion_ figure you may wonder how you would look in her place. I’d love to actually put you in her place without promise or obligation, without expense or risk of any sort to you.

Pin a Dollar to the Coupon

For just one dollar with your request, I’ll send you this dress, postage prepaid, in your proper size, to examine as carefully as you please, to try on to your heart’s content. The dollar that you send me brings the dress delivered to your house without one further penny’s outlay, without the bother of any C. O. D., without even a thought of money until you decide you want it and to keep it.

Take All Spring and Summer To Pay

If you find you would rather return it, do so without question. I’ll refund your dollar at once. I’ll also pay the return express. Money is the last thing you really need to worry about, because if you are delighted, you can pay balance of my bargain price almost as you please. I want you to spread the cost over all this Spring and Summer, taking a full six months, paying little by little in small sums, evenly divided, coming a month apart.

My whole business is conducted in exactly the same manner as this one example.

A Postal Card Brings My Free Style Book

All Selections Sent Prepaid on Approval

With it, for a dollar or two, you can make every dress dream come true. Everything will be sent you postage prepaid on approval. There will never be any embarrassment or red tape. I always allow a full half year to pay.

This being my greatest book, I anticipate a much larger demand than ever before, so please ask for your copy early. A plain letter or a postalcard is enough.
