What you’re looking at

This page combines two distinct elements: **advertising and a bridge problem column**. The left side features a poetic advertisement for Detroit's Book-Cadillac Hotel, using romantic, dreamy language about sleep and rest to market the hotel's comfort. The accompanying illustration shows a relaxed man in bed—an aspirational image of luxury hospitality. The right side presents "Problem 35, Series 2" of **Sidney S. Lenz's bridge column**—a recurring feature in Judge magazine. Lenz was apparently a famous bridge expert whose contract bridge problems entertained readers. The page explains contest rules, prizes (including books and magazine subscriptions), and presents an actual bridge hand for readers to solve strategically. For modern readers: this reflects an era when **contract bridge was a popular intellectual pastime** among middle and upper-class Americans, similar to chess puzzles today. Judge's inclusion of such content shows the magazine served educated audiences interested in games and strategy, not just humor and satire.

He smiles and sleeps —and goes skirring to the other side of the moon, to the orange groves of Seville, or, he sits again in strange offices where that day he had fought his happy fights. And care stops at his door — and listens —and gazes wistfully through the key hole. What a wonderful sleep! Good night. See you soon? THE BOOK-CADILLAC HOTEL } Carl M.
