# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 381 This page contains several distinct satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine humor: **"A Great Relief"** (top): A domestic scene where a man leaves his wife, promising never to return. The satire targets marital discord. **"Judgments from Mr. McGarvey"**: Political/social commentary dismissing concerns about boxing politics and war in England, suggesting fatalism about social problems. **"Studies"** (bottom): Four nearly identical sketched heads of a woman showing different expressions, captioned with escalating scenarios ("Here come six men"→"Five men and a woman"→"Three men and a woman"→"Six women"), satirizing women's reactions to different social situations—likely mocking contemporary attitudes about female behavior and propriety. The page reflects period attitudes toward gender, politics, and entertainment.

As the time was short they accelerated their speed as they approached the station, and finally broke into a run. It was of no avail, however; when they reached the station the train had started. Whereupon little Frances wept bitterly. “Frances, dear,” said her mamma, “ why are you crying so? We can go to-morrow.” “Lam crying,” replied Frances, “to think of all that good running wasted,” (Bicyelists arrived)—"* Six women"
