What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple satirical items typical of late 19th-century American humor: **"International Courtesy"** mocks European aristocratic attitudes toward American women, showing a duke attempting to flirt with "Miss Crisp," who delivers a witty retort about his age. **"A Nymph"** is a poem celebrating female beauty, likely referencing theatrical culture of the period. **"Hum of the Court"** contains brief political jabs: Mary Anderson (an actress) enjoys profitable performances; the Treasury hasn't received "conscience money" (voluntary restitution payments) in two years; Governor Hill proposes pensioning ex-presidents; the administration's Haiti policy is criticized; and the Buffalo Express newspaper is mocked for endorsing aggressive tactics. **"That Same Old Trouble Again"** depicts a theater-goer complaining about women wearing hats that block sightlines—a recurring social irritation of the era when large, decorative hats were fashionable. The page blends social satire, political commentary, and domestic humor typical of Judge's content.
