What you’re looking at
This page contains humor pieces and advertisements typical of early 20th-century American satirical magazines. **Notable Content:** The **"To a Lady Smoking"** poem mocks women smokers by comparing a woman's smoking face to Mount Vesuvius—suggesting cigarette smoke makes her appearance grotesque and destructive. This reflects contemporary attitudes condemning female smoking as unfeminine and socially improper. **"His Peculiarly Gifted Son"** jokes that a self-made businessman's son is "gifted" only at receiving handouts—satirizing wealthy heirs who inherit rather than earn their position. **"The Inventive Jones"** depicts a man who installed a coin-operated latch on his lawnmower to prevent neighbors from borrowing it—poking fun at penny-pinching and suburban competitiveness. The page is dominated by period **advertisements** for cigarettes, bitters, hotels, and beverages, reflecting Judge's commercial focus alongside satire.

HT E “avors rotect To a Lady Smoking. The slopes of famed Vesuvius are fair, With golden beauty in the golden air. In terraced loveliness they softly rise, Sweet blandishments that melt in sweetest skies, Bat, lo! upon the summit what is this, What horrid apex of a mount of bliss, What fuming, black, bar sinister of grace? Such, lady, is a picture of your face. —Amos R. Wells, in Life.
