I thank the donor!

Below: Pp. 2-3.  The tiny words, bottom left, read ON THE COVER: "THE DOLLY MADISON JJ" BY BULOVA, refer to the woman's wristwatch, also on this page. Dolly Madison was President Madison's wife. Wikipedia writes of her, " She was notable for her social gifts and helped define the role of the First Lady. Her success as a hostess contributed to increasing the popularity of Madison as president." Time was of the essence when she fled Washington as the British prepared to burn Washington and her house, the White House. Her social ability in American lore as represented by this watch lends by association that quality to menstruating women, a quality many women would like to have during this, um, period. And the watch is dainty, a word the Tampax people use later as a goal for women at this time of the month. So do other companies.
