What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains satirical advice and period advertising. The main editorial content is "Leap-year Advice to Girls" (continued from a previous page), which satirizes early 1910s gender dynamics by offering tongue-in-cheek guidance to women on how to manipulate men into marriage during leap year—when tradition supposedly allowed women to propose. The satire mocks both female scheming and male gullibility, advising women to flatter their suitors, control the wedding details, and then dominate them as the "senior partner" afterward. The page also includes advertisements for Old Overholt Rye whiskey, a world cruise on the steamship *Cleveland*, and other consumer products typical of 1912. The other brief items—"A Way He Has," "Everybody's Doin' It"—appear to be short humorous anecdotes, likely typical of *Judge*'s satirical format, though their specific references are unclear from the OCR text provided.

Leap-year Advice to Girls. Concluded from preceding pace. mamma’s picture. Jolly him plenty about his folks—his dear, sweet mamma, his noble papa and his chummy sister. How could he help being the grandest man on earth with such grand folks? As the merger draws near, take par- ticular interest+in his trousseau. Com- pliment him on his marvelous taste in selecting his little ‘‘tockings,’’ shirties and ‘‘jammies.’’ Consult him in ad- vance about the ceremony. If he wants to be married by a Methodist rabbi, be “tickled to death’? about it; then, if you prefer to lead him up to a Chinese joss, go ahead and do it. He will not know the difference, for men are so con- ceitedly happy at such times. If he wishes to have the word ‘‘obey’’ omitted from his declaration of dependence, don't object; just forget to mention it to the joss, and he will never know that you have slipped one over until it is too late to kick about it. After the ceremony and when you have him legally and securely hobbled, push him into a taxi and order on the loud pedal. Slam him into a corner and explain the rules and regulations for new inmates, which are to be in full force and effect instanter, Explain his duties carefully, so that he will per- fectly understand what you expect of him in assisting you to be a good citizen and all-round upliftcr. Make it clear to him that an argument over his coats and vests will be remote, but that you pro- pose to personally and permanently make use of the rest of the suit yourself. Be prompt, and, above all, be firm; don’t quibble, for what you do now is for all time. In twenty-four hours he should be hook-broke and weaned to eat out of your hand; if so, he can hardly fail to realize that the sooner he recognizes you as the senior partner, the sooner sunlight will once more filter into his young life.
