Life

Life’s principal need is humor. After humor comes sentiment, and after sentiment, satire. Life will consider original jokes, short (very short) dialogues, epigrams, epigrammatical comments, light verse and manuscripts up to 500 words on subjects of topical or news interest containing these three elements singly or in combination. Before submitting, it is best to make a comprehensive study of what is printed in the magazine and to model the contribution on similar lines. By reason of the seeming simplicity of its contents, Life is constantly receiving contributions which make no pretense at literary preparation and are therefore unavailable.
