What you’re looking at
This page contains fashion commentary, humorous sketches, and brief satirical pieces typical of Judge's editorial content. **"Don't Wear 'Em Straight Any More"** mocks women adopting a more relaxed, less corseted fashion stance—a reference to early 20th-century dress reform movements challenging Victorian rigidity. **"The Safest Place"** satirizes automobile safety concerns through a conversation between a manufacturer and prospective customer, joking that standing before a car's front is safer than riding in it—commentary on early automobiles' notorious unreliability and danger. **"An Adv. for Judge"** is self-promotional humor encouraging readers to buy Judge magazines rather than old newspapers. The political cartoon **"The Sunshine Circle"** appears to reference Congressional budget/fiscal matters, though specific figures remain unclear without additional historical context.
