What you’re looking at

This page contains several satirical pieces and illustrations typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine: **"The Graduate's Blaze"** tells of Dorothy Hikins Clive, who graduates and pursues independence—seeking work, travel, and romance—before settling into domestic life. The satire mocks the "New Woman" of the era who briefly rebels against traditional roles. **"Judge's Favorites"** jokes about actress Edna May always playing "The Belle of Mayfair" in London, suggesting she's typecast regardless of role. **"Foolish Rules in Cases of Emergency"** offers absurdist safety advice (leap left in fires, fall from horses onto your left shoulder), satirizing poorly-thought-out emergency protocols. The bottom illustration shows children playing, captioned "Good Game," with dialogue about keeping score—likely mocking adult competitiveness. The content reflects early 1900s American social satire and gender commentary.

‘THE GRADUATE'S BLAZE. LISTEN. my readers, and you shall hear Of the sweet girl graduate’s carcer. Her name was Dorothy Hilkins Clive, And she finished her ovurse in 1905. She studied nights and she studied days, For she wanted to set the workl ablaze, ‘Then she started out ard rode one day To seek some labor and weekly pay. She traveled around like Paul Revere, A short stop there and a short stop here. ‘The girl was told she was far too wise To help in a business enterprise. n literature she then took a dip ; Her stuff came back with the usual slip. And after a year or more of strife Fair Dora muttered, ‘This isn’t life." She burned her diploma, saved the earth, And found a young man of general worth, She liked the young man and his tender ways; She'll live a flat life the rest of her days. PRRRINE LAMBENT.

FOOLISH RULES IN CASES OF EMERGENCY. SOING down a fire-escape never precede a lady. In case of fire leap from the nearest window and turn to the left. In drowning do not speak. Talking to one’s self is always bad form; but in this emergency it would also be extremely silly. In falling from the back of a runaway horse always aim to let the left shoulder hit the ground first, as it is far better to break one’s arm than to frac- ture one’s skull. If a heavy plate-glass window falls upon you some cold winter morning do not scream, as you might, in opening your mouth, catch tonsilitis—to say nothing of several large pieces of glass. If you happen to be in a theatre when the cry of + Fire!" is raised, sit perfectly still. Of course no one ever does this, but it is just as well to bear the rule in mind. Authorities differ as to whether it is better to be trampled to death or burned alive. MAXDOLFH. FORRES. JUST THE BOY FOR PAPA.
