What you’re looking at
This page contains miscellaneous content rather than a unified political cartoon. The upper section features: - A song for September listing popular names and social venues - "Marriage à la Mode" — a small cartoon showing a man proposing to a woman, with dialogue about hastily marrying - "This Sham Age" — brief commentary on egg-selling regulations, likely satirizing Roosevelt-era bureaucratic expansion - Several poems and short pieces on social topics The large photograph at bottom shows a woman standing on a country road with a vintage automobile, captioned "Caption Wanted for This Picture." Judge announces a caption-writing contest offering prizes, inviting readers to submit humorous captions. The page primarily showcases light social satire typical of Judge's style—poking fun at modern conventions, relationships, and government regulation—rather than addressing specific major political events.

HE CLEVEK hostess can al- TT ways show her ingenuity by fa touch of novelty in the serving of some of the time- bonored courses at her dinner. Raw oysters, for instance, produce a very original effect when served with ma- ple syrup or whipped cream. A very palatable fish pudding may be prepared by mixing the finely chopped fish with sugar, raisins, and a bit of vanilla extract, serving cold with a custard sauce. A delicious dessert is onion jelly with caviar sandwiches and maras- chino cherries. Try it. Loyely Woman.
