What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical sketches and humorous anecdotes typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. **Top section ("Tailor's Parlors")**: Three nearly identical panels show a barber offering an "English hair-cut" to a woman, then claiming it costs "twenty-five cents." The joke appears to satirize either inflated pricing or confusion about services. **Middle sections** feature anecdotes mocking various social situations: a resident praising city improvements, arguments about polygamy in Utah, and editorial commentary. The Utah reference suggests contemporary debate about Mormon polygamy. **"How She Managed"**: A cartoon about Miss Hen marrying by cleverly using rice and blushing. **Bottom cartoon ("Very Like")**: A domestic scene where a woman calls a man a "turned-down collar"—likely Victorian-era slang for something unflattering. The overall tone reflects period-appropriate humor about relationships, class pretension, and social manners.
