W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962) was known for his masterful black and white Sunday page, “Among Us Mortals,” sometimes referred to as the Hill Page. Please see the Gallery description for more about Hill.

From this June 12, 1949 edition, titled “The Sitters” some quotes:

“The squirmer. Can’t stay still if she sits too long. Listening to a chamber music concert will start her twisting around.”

“Hefty sitter, who always sits where he shouldn’t, preferably on the arm of a chair. He and the chair tilter are great trials to housewives who love their antiques.”
