What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** from Judge magazine, with several distinct sections: **Main Content:** - Humorous prose sketches about beach life: "Sand Fleas" (mocking vain beachgoers), "Lost and Found" (a suggestive joke about a lost garter), and "Not 'Appy" (a pun on Henry Irving's accent—"un'appy" sounds like "unhappy"). **Advertisements:** - Evans' Ale and Kingsford's Corn Starch ads (with product illustrations) - Hotel Earlington (NYC lodging) - Delaware & Hudson railway promoting Adirondack tourism **Social Context:** The "Sand Flea" sketch uses period slurs ("Dinge") and mocks working-class beachgoers and cross-dressing individuals. The "Lost and Found" poem relies on risqué innuendo typical of Judge's humor. These reflect early 20th-century attitudes toward class, gender, and sexuality that would be considered offensive today. The page reflects Judge's mix of satirical content, light humor, and commercial advertising aimed at upper-middle-class readers.

Usually he can be found any day parading the beach in a one- piece bathing suit, cut decollete, giving the Broilers an eye feast. By the end of the first month, it is impossible to determine whether the Sand Flea is a Mexican guerrilla, a New Orleans In. dian or a common Seventh Avenue “Dinge.’’ Vanity is his favorite food and he never goes hungry. The Flea is a great spender—of time. His choice spot, when not basking under the edge of a Broiler’s parasol, is posing in the lifeboat. The genus is masculine and neuter. The neuter specie is also found on the sands in white or striped flannel trousers, baby blue or pink shirt, anda Panama hat rolled up in front. A pair of strong marine glasses complete its make-up. These are invariably focused on the underpinning of the Sea Serpents. Generally the neuter speaks with a lisp and is occasionally confounded with the masculine gender. Asa prominent Shop Girl once remarked to her companion as one of the specie minced down the beach on Cuban heels and a bracelet dangling at its wrist, “Why, Guenivive! he’s a man!"" So, you see, even a discerning Shop Girl may be mistaken. Lost and Found.
