What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page contains several brief humorous anecdotes targeting Victorian social hypocrisy and pretension: **"Sally's Question"** ridicules Sunday school instruction. A superintendent delivers an eloquent moral lesson, then a girl innocently asks about dolls displayed in a shop window—exposing the gap between sanctimonious preaching and children's actual interests. **"The Wicked"** mocks a college professor's pompous morality lecture about hell's floors being paved with champagne and motor-cars, satirizing the disconnect between abstract moralizing and real student behavior. **Other brief jokes** ("By the Sad Sea Waves," "A Grudge," "Crew of the Captain's Gig," "His Preference") similarly mock pretension, self-deception, and social convention through short dialogues revealing human nature's contradictions. The page is predominantly **advertising**—Sunny Brook Whiskey, Pears' Soap, the Hoffman House hotel, and house-plan books dominate the layout. These satirical snippets are filler content typical of Judge's format.
