What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical sketches and brief humorous pieces typical of Judge magazine's style. The top cartoon depicts two cowboys at an "Alkali Inn," with a woman serving food. The humor appears to involve crude frontier dining etiquette. The middle section includes short comedic observations: - "Willing to Oblige" jokes about a vain woman - "Situation After Easter" mocks wives who overspend on Easter hats - "Her Discovery" ridicules a woman seeking a French poodle - "Protection from Mud Throwing" satirizes mud guards on automobiles as suitable for political candidates The bottom cartoon, titled "After Lent: When the Suffragettes Are in Power," depicts women in what appears to be a corridor or institutional setting. This references the women's suffrage movement, suggesting satirical commentary on female political participation—a contested issue during the Progressive Era. The overall tone is dismissive toward women's ambitions and spending habits.
