What you’re looking at
This page contains several distinct pieces: **"The New Hobble Trousers"** satirizes women's fashion, specifically the hobble skirt trend. The article mocks how these restrictive garments limit women's movement and freedom, describing materials from "rough Scotch plaids" to "pale violet and pink brocloths." The satire critiques how fashion constrains women's lives. **"Judge: Protection Demanded"** argues for protective tariffs on American goods, specifically girls' products, using nationalist economic rhetoric common to early 20th-century trade debates. **The remaining cartoons** appear to depict domestic scenes and children's games, though their specific satirical targets are unclear from this reproduction. The page reflects Judge's focus on social commentary through fashion critique and political economy.

The New Hobble Trousers. By HARVEY PEAKE. OBBLE TROUSERS H are the newest and most radical novel- ty in men’s wear. They are delicately em- blematic of the attitude of the man of to-day who is left to attend to the subordinate details of their daily life, while his wife becomes a suffra- gette and the wage-earner of the family. Hobble trousers are in reality two hobble skirts joined at the top and cut with straight 7 fronts and princess backs, the fastenings being down the entire back opening of each leg. The materials used are many and va- ried, ranging from the rough Scotch plaids and checks for morning wear, to the pale violet and pink broadcloths for evening use. Many of the latter are beautifully embroidered, as shown in the illustration. The hobble may be made of anything from a leather hitching strap toa hand- embroidered Bulgarian cincture. They can be had in five sizes, to fit the condition of mind of the man who is towear them: No. 1, rebellious; No. 2, slightly cowed; No. 3, wholly under sub- jection; No. 4, meek as Moses; No. 5, pitifully afraid. Anything but That. 66] WOULD go through fire and water for you,”” He fervently said, as he knelt at her feet; “There is nothing I would not dare to do To win your love and your hand, my sweet.’” “Ab, would you,’ she answered, ‘to prove your love, Resign a berth you'd reserved below And, for my sake, occupy one above?” In pitifal anguish he answered, Mrs. Bronx — Mr. Harlem JUDGE Protection Demanded. WE DEMAND 8 prohibitively high export duty on American girls. We must keep them at-home. This is flying in the teeth of the princi- ples of political economy, which teaches that the best interests of the nation demand that foreign products be excluded, and that we do without and send abroad just as much of our very best as we possibly can; but, nevertheless, we have good grounds for wishing such a duty to take effect at once. We do not demand the imposition of this duty for the sake of the revenue to be derived, be- cause, being prohibitive, it would preclude such consideration; nor because we are in any way jealous of, or prejudiced against, the masculinity of any other nation; but we do demand it in order THEIR UNION.
