# "Hum of the Court" - Judge Magazine Satire Page This page collects brief satirical social observations—the magazine's signature format. Key targets include: **Divorce and morality**: Mocking Philadelphia's high divorce rate and Newport's affectations (exploding false teeth). **Gender and consumerism**: Joking that women need pockets in gloves because they'll inevitably lose something, yet won't carry pocket-books with pockets. **Notable figures**: Ward McAllister (New York society arbiter) ridiculed as simultaneously the "biggest little man" and "littlest big man"—satirizing his outsized social influence despite physical insignificance. **Political commentary**: References to Kaiser Wilhelm monuments as excessive grief-spending, and Portuguese King Carlos as attractive but destined for crown-wearing troubles. **Period prejudices**: Crude jokes about Indian women, Black servants, and Italian immigrant criminality reflect common contemporary stereotypes. The bottom cartoons depict domestic scenes: a daughter departing for Paris, and a servant praised for reliability. These humorously capture class and family dynamics of the era.
