What you’re looking at

This page contains two illustrations depicting women in contrasting styles of dress. The top image shows a woman in dark, conservative clothing labeled "SCHOOL" (visible on what appears to be a book or sign). The bottom image shows a woman in a striped dress with a wide skirt—a fashionable silhouette of the era. The caption "No doubt she will surprise them!" suggests satirical commentary on women's clothing and behavior, likely contrasting modest school attire with fashionable dress. This appears to be social satire about young women, education, and changing fashion standards—a common Judge magazine theme. The exact historical moment and specific figures referenced are unclear from the visible text, but the humor relies on juxtaposing conservative versus fashionable presentation.
