What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* (a satirical American magazine) contains several brief humorous pieces typical of early 20th-century social commentary: **Main Cartoons/Jokes:** 1. **"Behind His Back"** — A wife claims her husband comes straight home from the office, but her friend skeptically asks how he arrives home from "other places," implying infidelity or suspicious behavior. 2. **"In 1992"** — Satirizes women entering traditionally male professions. Floor-walkers joke about a female "secretaryess of the navy" who advertises warship department bargains—mocking the idea of women in military administration. 3. **Street musicians** — A man confessing to composing music played on street pianos (considered low-class entertainment) is compared unfavorably to serious musicians. The page also contains period advertisements for Sommer Pianos, Trimble Whiskey, and Pérès Chartreaux liqueur, plus financial investment advice columns. **Context:** These jokes reflect early-1900s attitudes toward gender roles, class distinctions, and social propriety.
