# Analysis of This Judge Magazine Page This page contains two satirical cartoons and accompanying commentary typical of Judge's social satire. **"Hum of the Court"** (top) mocks high society's pretensions. The illustration shows well-dressed people at what appears to be a formal gathering. The text satirizes Queen Victoria and the British aristocracy, suggesting that despite claims of noble breeding, many successful burglars come from "best families"—undercutting the notion that social class guarantees moral character. **"Her Criterion of Education"** (bottom) ridicules young women's romantic judgment. The cartoon shows a woman praising her suitor as "educated," while the dialogue reveals he's merely well-dressed and says nothing of substance. The satire targets the superficiality of courtship standards among the leisure classes. Throughout, Judge employs its characteristic approach: mockingly defending absurd social conventions (like Saturday night vigils and sausage etiquette) while actually exposing class hypocrisy and shallow values among the wealthy.
