What you’re looking at

This page mixes humor columns with satirical "recipes" and social commentary typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. **Main Content:** The "Cook Book" section by Carolyn Wells uses absurdist humor, treating non-food items as recipes—"Club Sandwiches" instructs readers to purchase an actual club (wooden stick), boil and pound it; "Cottage Pudding" means buying a small house, boiling it until soft. This mocks pretentious or obscure cookbook language. **Social Satire:** - The "Suffragete" dialogue jokes that women demanding equal wages aren't truly equal—the husband still controls his own earnings - "Woman holdin' office is foolish" mocks women's ambitions, citing impractical fashion (hobble skirts) - The "Maxims of the Maxim Man" section contains misogynistic quips comparing women to fruit and treating them as subordinate **Other Notes:** Small-town gossip ("Basswood Bugle") and doctor humor fill remaining space. The bottom cartoon about "Hatchet" and cherries appears incomplete in this OCR. Overall, the page reflects early 1900s attitudes: patronizing toward women's rights while claiming humor.

Notes from the Basswood Bugle. By ROY K. MOULTON Ss’ YERAL gold-leaf signs in our busi- ness district have been scraped off at night recently, and Constable Bib- bins has ketched the culpert in the act. It was Doc. Binks, our popular dentist, who used the gold to fill Eli Purdy’s teeth. Lafe Haskins couldn’t make up his mind whether to get a forty-candle- DID HIS PART. Suffragete —'" We women demand men’s wages. Henpeck—"' You get ‘em wife gets mine." At lea.t my power Mercedes or a six-cylinder Pan- hard, so he compromised on a bicycle. Miss Amy Briggs’s waist line, which used to be up under her arms, is now down around her ankles. This talk about woman holdin’ office is foolish. They couldn't ever run for anything in hobble skirts. Success. OME men succeed by working hard With pick or spade or pen, But not a few still get ahead By working other men. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Advance Pages from Our New Cook Book. By CAROLYN WELLS. Club Sandwiches. ELECT a firm, fresh hickory club. Put iton in hard water and boil till soft. Pound it with a pestle and mortar (ordinary sand mortar will do), and when it is cold cut into triangular shapes. Pile it up between isosceles triangles of chicken salad, ham, and very hard toast. Scalloped Bluefish. Purchase a young bluefish, of any de- sired shade of blue. Hold it firmly in your left hand, while, with a needle threaded with pink silk, you work dainty scallops all around him. Trim the edges neatly with embroidery scissors and cook till done. Serve on a pink platter. Cottage Pudding. Buy a small cottage, wash and dry it well, and boil till soft. It is wise to select the smallest cottage you can find, as, even so, there seems to be a great deal of it. When reduced to a pulp, take a couple of cupfuls, add some milk, if you have any in the house, and a dash of pastry flour. Stir in a few well- stoned raisins and bake till cold. Dressed Cucumbers. Large cucumbers are more effective for this dish. Make little skirts of dotted swiss or china silk. Bodices are pretty of black velvet, with dainty bows on the shoulder. In fact, cucumbers may be dressed in any prevailing fash- ion, care being taken to harmonize the colors with their own delicately tinted skin. When dressed, send to the table. Little Cup Cakes. Buy half a dozen little cups of any pleasing design. Crack them with a hammer and then pound until pulverized. Mix with half their weight in sugar, two or three good eggs, and a squeeze of afresh lemon. Ice with chocolate and serve at afternoon teas, Maxims of the Maxim Man. ]F THE origin of woman is correetly described in the Scriptures, Adam had reason to regard Eve as a mere ap- pendix. Fine feathers don’t always make fine birds. Sometimes they make absurd hats or useless feather dusters. The more umbrageous a family tree becomes, the more likely is it to develop something in the nature of a shady past. In the orchard of womanhood an over- long neglect of the ripening fruit is apt to turn a promising peach into an un- mitigated lemon, Looked Like a Big Dose. HE man in bed had never been sick before. The doctor wishing to as- certain his temperature pointed the ther- mometer at him and commanded, “Open your mouth, Jim."" “Wait a minute, Doc,’’ objected the patient. ‘‘I don’t b’lieve I can swaller that.”” To a Mirror.
