# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 19 **Top Cartoon: "Squared Accounts"** Shows a social scene where a woman asks a man if he's afraid "the professor will feel slighted if we go away?" He responds it will be "an evener" since "he's doing the same thing to the mistress." The joke satirizes infidelity and hypocrisy among the upper classes—specifically that a professor's own affairs justify the couple's behavior. It's social commentary on Victorian-era moral duplicity. **Bottom Cartoons: "An Ignominious Rescue"** Two water-rescue scenes depicting apparent drowning situations with darkly comedic captions. Mrs. Littleroy warns "Don't go near the edge" while losing children; Johnny Waffrat offers rescue to a young woman. These appear to be humor based on rescue mishaps or ironic reversals of fortune. The page mixes political items with social satire typical of Judge's content.

THERE ARE frequent promises of Democratic resumption in the Democratic press; and we notice, too, that Jack-the-ripper threatens to disembowel another woman. MISS LIBBEY, novelist, claims to have made forty thousand dollars within a few years with her pen. It is certainly evident that the lady has the imagination necessary to a successful modern novel. He's doing the same thing to the mu: ‘CYAWPING” is what the Buffalo Express calls the charge of the magazinists that the daily newspaper is corrupt and impure. It is a gentle word. It strikes us that the charge is what the indignant man usually calls a double-blank lie. PRESTO! THE GREAT STRUGGLE between Blaine and Harrison must have ended. The Democrats now discover that the president is wholly on the side of the secretary and equally opposed to that of T. B. Reed. How singular these remarkable changes are, and how happy they make the usually melancholy Democratic press. DOLLS FOR THE DOLLESS. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLS will be distributed among the dolless children of this country on the week before Christmas by Frank Leslie's Mlustrated Newspaper. These dolls will be dressed by ladies who have volunteered their services, including the wife of the president; and a wonderful variety of charming garments, involving many new ideas as to grouping for the preliminary exhibition, will be the result. The exhibition of the dolls will be a feature of the scheme, and is already attracting wide-spread attention and curiosity, The plan is more fully explained in our advertising columns. Certainly there is no mother any- where in the world who will not feel a personal interest in this novel enterprise in behalf of the happiness of millions of children who would otherwise be overlooked at Christmas time.
