What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* contains several satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century American humor: **"Heard on Hen-ry Street"** mocks wealthy society women (Mrs. White Leghorn—the name itself a chicken breed—is a pun) discussing where eggs come from, criticizing middlemen's profits while insisting on exclusive Union League Club sources. **"Household Hints for Men"** by Carolyn Wells is absurdist humor satirizing domesticity advice columns, with deliberately ridiculous instructions (washing waistcoats with hatchets, drying them on one's body). **"Mose and His New Bonnet"** is a racial stereotype comic strip featuring Black dialect humor, common in this era's publications. Mose's vanity over a new hat generates jealousy among his peers. Other pieces include light verse about obscurity and romance, and a brief joke about political candidates. The content reflects period attitudes toward class, gender, and race that modern readers should understand as products of their time, not endorsed views.

By CAROLYN WELLS ASHING a White Pique Waist-coat— Remove the buttons with a sharp hatchet, and wash the waistcoat with any soap that is advertised. If there are spots on the garment which do not belong there, use a small scrub brush and white sand. If this does not take them out, dip the waistcoat into hot naphtha, The principal time to be careful is in the drying of the thing. Mose—'' Ab cain't stan’ it no longah.

JUDGE Waistcoats should never be hung on a line or clothes horse, but, to preserve their shape, must be dried on the person. Put on the waistcoat while it is wet, and stand in front of thefire. Revolve very slowly until it is partly dry, and then go into a dark closet and shut the door. White goods must be dried in the dark.

Home-made Neckti Very pretty white neckties may be made from ordinary lamp wicks. Choose the flat kind, buying a sufficient number to make the neck- tie long enough. Join the ends neatly with a drawn-work stitch, and tie in a four-in-hand or butterfly bow, ac- cording to taste. A delightful fob chain may also_be made from a single lamp wick. The natural color wick may be used with duck or white serge suits, but for evening wear the wick should be dyed black. N° TIDE has Reno; high and dry It sits, a city fair.
