Promoted as a magazine of cheerful wholesome philosophy, it was a calculatedly commercial proposition. The bulk of the publication consisted of pictures (usually beautiful women/actresses) and sentimental mottoes printed on heavy paper and suitable for framing. The pictures were strictly moral, but managed to include a fair amount of exposed flesh in the way of arms, legs, and carefully draped breasts. 6" x 12", 120 pages, B&W. Cover price $0.50.
