This page contains several distinct satirical pieces: **"Judge's Favorite"** features a portrait of Mary Tydon (likely a contemporary figure) with domestic advice about managing household storage and tenant relations—satirizing overly detailed homemaking guidance. **"His Hopes Realized"** depicts a man with a woman, using dialogue to mock romantic expectations and disappointment. **"A Diamond Divorce"** presents a visual poem about a woman who "made a hit," "stole her second man," and became "third" wife—satirizing serial divorce and women's marital instability among the wealthy. **"Pugilistic Verse"** mocks boxer Mr. Johnson with crude rhymes about his fighting style. **"Going the Pace"** features a brief conversational joke about leisure activities. The page reflects early 1900s Judge magazine's blend of domestic humor, social commentary on marriage and class, and sports satire.

All this and much more can be done to make life tolerable in a flat if the tenants are not bound down by useless conventions ; otherwise they should return whence they came, for apartment houses were never designed for such as they. ©.
