What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple brief satirical items typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine, along with advertisements. **Notable content:** The "There Are Angels and Angels" piece satirizes marital dynamics—a husband discovers his wife emptying his pocketbook and orders her to bed, but she instead joins an exclusive women's club where she becomes a leader. The satire targets both henpecked husbands and women's conspicuous consumption. "Very Real" mocks women's use of cosmetics and false hair, comparing a jeweler's claim that diamonds are "as genuine as your own hair" to suggest women's appearances are equally artificial. Other brief jokes target marriage, parenting, and social pretense typical of Judge's humor. **Advertisements dominate:** Evans' Ale promotes vitality; a Postum testimonial claims coffee caused heart problems that ceased upon switching to the caffeine-free substitute—a common health claim of the era. The page is primarily **advertising-driven satirical content** rather than focused political commentary.

Professor Woodberry, of Columbia College, wrote a most contemptuous biography of him. Emerson, the philosopher, dismissed him with a sneer as ‘the jingle man,’ and that is the only Emersonian phrase that is immortal. “William Dean How- ells, the novelist, in ‘April Hopes’ made fun of him, “Poe is about the only American who has written things really worth while, really permanent things in literature, and to Poe America denied a living. “But now,”’ Father Tabb concluded, “‘we put up monument after monument in Poe's honor.
