What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine: **"Her Only Fault"** (top): A humorous poem about a wife's chronic lateness, illustrated with figures waiting at gates and in carriages. The satire targets traditional gender stereotypes about women's timekeeping. **"Cheating the Modern Boswell"** and other brief comedic sections mock contemporary social behaviors and fashions. **"How to Look Rich"** satirizes material status-seeking, suggesting purchasing champagne and specific clothing combinations to appear wealthy—commentary on nouveau-riche aspirations. **"Likes the Irish"** presents ethnic humor typical of the era. **"Proof Against Him"** (bottom cartoon): A humorous anecdote about jury duty and college education appears to joke about legal proceedings and social credentials. The page reflects Judge's focus on urbane social satire targeting middle and upper-class readers' foibles.
