What you’re looking at

This page from Judge (May 4, 1905) contains two distinct pieces: **"Eccentric Lovers"** (left column): A satirical advice column on romantic courtship. It mocks overly-sentimental suitors who make theatrical marriage proposals, suggesting young women cultivate their voices and use tactical "tone schemes" to attract husbands. The humor lies in treating love as a calculated business transaction rather than genuine emotion. **"A Lonely Turtle"** (right side): A humorous narrative-cartoon about a Michigan woman who dropped her engagement ring off a bridge into a lake. The ring landed inside a turtle that eventually returned—forty years later—allowing the broken couple to reunite and finally marry. The cartoon satirizes romantic persistence and the supposed nobility of waiting. The accompanying illustration shows an uncle advising a child, mocking rural/working-class dialect and parental concerns about practical matters (bugs for school) rather than sentimental ones. The overall theme mocks both excessive Victorian sentimentality and its opposite—treating romance as mere transaction.
