This Judge magazine page contains several satirical pieces: **"Judge's Favorites"** features Laura Hope Crews, a theatrical actress, with light verse praising her. **"One Girl's Sacrifice"** satirizes women's wartime economy during Lent, suggesting a girl sacrifices luxuries to afford an Easter bonnet—mocking both consumer materialism and religious observance. **"The Supreme Test"** presents a domestic dialogue where Mrs. Gramercy questions her husband's bravery. Mrs. Park responds that she judges his courage by how he handles dinner problems—a satirical commentary on masculine vanity and the unglamorous realities of married life. **"No Doubt of It"** depicts a courtroom scene with antisemitic stereotyping, presenting Jewish characters as money-obsessed. This represents deeply problematic period attitudes reflected in mainstream publications.
