What you’re looking at

This page contains several satirical pieces and cartoons typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine humor: **"A Reply for Amazette"** addresses a woman reader's question about perfume and individualism, arguing that excessive perfume use is not truly individualistic but rather conspicuous and off-putting. **"A Reproach"** mocks a lawyer through courtroom dialogue, playing on the repetitive nature of legal questioning. **"Reminiscing"** features a veteran mascot making a humorous comment about military service. **"A Diamond Composer"** appears to be a brief joke about baseball scoring. **"A Hard Task"** and **"A Morning Ramble"** are short humorous dialogues or observations about everyday life. **"A Perpetual Lease"** depicts a domestic dispute between two figures, with one mentioning age-related troubles and refusing to renew commitment. The page represents typical early-1900s American humor: wordplay, domestic situations, and gentle social commentary.

A REPLY FOR AMA- ZETTE. 4s VES, Amazette; the la- dies’ magazines are within their rights in stat- ing that it is the proper thing, and a very dainty fashion, for every woman to select. her perfumery and strive to individualize her- self by the evanescent fr grance that drifts along in the whispering breezes in her vicinity. Nobody has any objections to the gen- tlest suspicion of new-mown hay, or violets, or rosebuds, or honeysuckle, when a pret- ty woman comes around. Not a bit of it. A pretty woman suggests buds and blossoms and birds singing in the trees, and nodding flowers, and so on, and the prettier she is, and the moré she suggests these things, the better she makes the world. But a good thing may be carried to extremes. No woman has a right to emphasize her individuality by sloshing jockey-club or musk on her handkerchief as though she had poured it from a sprinkling-can or had connected the garden-hose with a tank of it and turned the nozzle on herself. Some women do that, We don’t say you do that, Amazette ; we don’t even hint that you might do it. We simply y that there are some who do, THEY'LL ALL WANT APPLES. “So de kid hit yer in de eye, did he? Well, give him dis apple an’ he'll feel sorry.” “Then all the other boys will hit me in the eye.” JUDGE'S FAVORITES. MARION VOOS, WITH WEBER'S THEATRE COMPANY.
