# Analysis of This Judge Magazine Page This page contains a serialized fiction story titled "The Pretty One" rather than political satire. The narrative involves a young woman named Mary Ann who has become engaged to Mr. Trivett, disappointing her mother Mrs. Swayback. The illustrated sections show: - **"Explained"**: A domestic scene where the engagement is revealed - **"Saved by the Chief's Superstition"**: An unclear scenario involving a chief and passengers - **"The Rehearsal"**: A theatrical rehearsal scene with Romeo and Juliet - **"The Date for the Wedding"**: Mrs. Swayback learning about wedding plans - **"Her Size"**: A brief comedic exchange about oysters This is lighthearted domestic fiction rather than political commentary—typical filler content Judge magazines included alongside actual satirical cartoons.

EXPLAINED. The pretty one is his wife. SAVED BY THE CHIEF'S SUPERSTITION. CHoLty—"* This locality is getting too dangewus for me, {am going for the twain in good fawm, howevah !"

SWAYBACK sighed when her daughter told her that Mr. Triv- vet had asked her to be his wife and that she had become engaged. “TL suppose I ought not to feel badly about it,” Mrs. Swayback added, wiping away a tear with the corner of her apron. “It is woman's destiny to be married. I left the home of my happy girlhood to become Mrs. Swayback, and now you must leave to become Mrs. Trivvet. Still, | can- not help feeling my loss very deeply. A mother can never lose her daugh- ter with indifference; she can never give her up—not even to the best inan in the world—without deep reluctance.” By this time Mrs. Swayback was sobbing violently and her daughter was trying to comfort her. “T shall come to see you often, mother, darling,” she said. “Of course you will, but it is a great trial to part with you, my child. You must not mind your fond mother’s crying a bit over it.” “Dry your eyes, mother. I'm sure you couldn't desire a finer young man than Mr. Trivvet for a son-in-law, and of course you expected me to get married some time.” Mrs. Swayback’s sobs broke out afresh, and for a time she refused to be comforted. Then she applied a handkerchief vigorously to her eyes and asked, “ When is the wedding to be?” . “In about six months, mamma, dear.” “Six months!" exclaimed Mrs. Swayback. “ What on earth does the procrastinator mean by putting it off that long? Mary Ann, I don’t be- lieve he intends to marry you at all, so I don't! If he did he'd insist on having the wedding come off inside six weeks at the farthest.” RAPID TRANSIT.
