What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine page contains three satirical items: **Top cartoon**: "The Beautiful View of the Alps from the Hotel Terrace" shows a gentleman with arms spread wide, flanked by potted plants representing Alpine scenery—a joke about artificial, staged "views" at tourist hotels. **"Difference in Spokesmen"**: Mocks changing servant etiquette. Old-fashioned servants spoke politely; modern maids supposedly prefer letting "your money talk" instead—satirizing the declining formality and increasing materialism of domestic workers. **"Love at First Sight"**: The illustration depicts a wealthy man (marked with a dollar sign) meeting a woman, suggesting romance driven purely by financial motivation rather than genuine attraction—a commentary on mercenary courtship practices. **"Musical Maxims"**: Brief witticisms about music and social behavior, typical of Judge's aphoristic humor sections.
