What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces rather than a single unified cartoon. **"Judge's Favorites"** features "Caroline Beale," described as "The Social Whirl," depicting a woman in fashionable dress—likely satirizing high-society women's concerns with fashion and social status. **"The Rule of Two"** is a poem mocking the indiscriminate kissing habits of women, listing various types of kisses (ravishing, tender, frantic, etc.) in exaggerated detail—social satire on changing courtship norms or women's behavior. **"Hungry and Desperate"** shows dialogue between a man and newspaper solicitor, with the man complaining about adulterated food and wanting three meals daily—likely satirizing economic hardship or labor conditions. **The bottom cartoon** depicts a crowded scene labeled "Inconsistent," with Mr. Wayback criticizing railroad policies using dialect speech—appears to be rural social commentary on business inconsistency.

CAROLYN GREEN IN JUDGE'S FAVORITES. When summer finds us, jaded, stale, Seeking forgetfulness from care, From boredom, bargaining and pale, THE SOCIAL WHIRL," HOW IT WAS, ss PARDON: me, mad- am," said the man with the piercing eyes and the earnest face to the heavy-set lady who was watching the sportive bathers. “Is that your daughter in the blue bath- ing-su “Itis, sir, lady. “Then permit me to say that Iam the working secre- tary and investigator of the Society for the Encouragement of Proper Garb, and to inform you that your daughter's skirt is apparently very short.” “Tut, tut!” smiled the lady comfortably. «It isn’t really that the skirt is short— it is that her stockings are so long. That is all, my dear sir. But thank you for your friendly interest just the same,” * responded the In a Casino parquet chair — ‘ = And the man with the ear- nest face and the piercing eyes was seen to walk blindly away and bump into a wheel-chair.

A LITTLE statistician chap, Who thought of figures as of blisses, Once sat him down to try to map Out all the diff’rent kinds of kisses. He foun them indifferent, careless, and slight ; Superficial, dissembling, hurried, and ligh Ominous, nervous, embarrassed, and mute ; Quiet and hasty, loud, loving, and cute ; Clinging and cloying, lingering, lonj Narcotic, devouring, immoderate, strong ; ig, inspiring, blighting, and naughty ; Pulite ones and passionate, contrite ones and haughty ; Ravishing, tender kisses—that thrill ! Distracted, anxious kisses—that chill ! Frantic and fragrant, beguiling and painful ; Fond, firm and holy, satanic, disdainful. If one breathed of fire, the next one was sad ; If this kiss was soulless, then that kiss was glad. Refreshing, delicious, divine—and yet fearful ; Balsamic, benighting, paradisical, tearful ; Sisterly, brotherly, pious, and yearniny Feverish, faithless, fervent, and burning ; Fresh as the morning!" «+ Deep as the sky!" Sacred ones, soft ones, sweet ones, and shy ; Hearty and heavenly, blissful and spicy ; From warm, hot and parching to cool, cold and icy! Still onward ran the lengthening list Of how a woman may be kissed. So hot—the figurer lost his breath ; And then so cold—he froze to death! WARWICK JAMES PRICE. THE GAME BEGINS AT THREE.
