What you’re looking at
This page from Judge contains multiple satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century American humor: **"One on Us"** mocks a flirtation scenario where a woman cleverly deflects a man's romantic advance by invoking philosophy about future consequences. **"What Every Nobleman Knows"** satirizes European aristocracy, suggesting their titles are worthless, reputation matters more than reality, and they prioritize marrying for money over love—a common American critique of Old World nobility. **"The Modern Play"** jokes about playwrights finding their work exhausting despite initial promise. **"Revised Version"** contains wordplay mocking biblical translation, suggesting "Put not thy trust in riches" should become "Put not thy riches in a trust"—possibly critiquing financial advice or legal schemes of the era. **"War Is Now On"** references contemporary war affecting peace hopes, likely referencing WWI. **"The Submarineway"** (large illustration) appears a fantastical cartoon about submarine technology, common in Judge's satirical visual humor. The page reflects Judge's blend of social commentary, romantic humor, and contemporary political/technological references.
