What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It features steamship line promotions (AGWI, Clyde Line, Mallory Line, etc.) advertising winter cruises to sunny Caribbean and Southern U.S. destinations—positioned as the "American Mediterranean." The only humorous content is a brief anecdote titled "Playing Papa" (right column), which describes a neighbor observing neighborhood children playing house. The joke centers on a young girl imitating her father's behavior: a brusque, newspaper-reading smoker who rushes off to work without acknowledging his "wife." The humor derives from the child's surprisingly accurate mimicry of adult male domesticity—the detached, gruff father figure was apparently a recognizable social type to Judge's readers. The page contains **no political cartoons or caricatures**. It's essentially a commercial spread with light domestic humor appealing to middle-class magazine readers.

WARFIELD, Manager Playing Papa «LONELY? Oh, no!”’ cried the new neighbor, who had been interto. gated. ‘‘That is impossible with Young. sters next door who furnish me daily amusement. What am I laughing at? Wait a moment and I will make it clear, “It happens that the little girls have chosen a shady spot for a playhouse, close to the shrubbery that serves as a divid. ing line between us. Consequently I can hear all they say, as well as witness their realistic motions. “**Keeping house’ has been their favor- ite play all through the vacation, and, until yesterday, Lucille had insisted os taking the part of ‘papa,’ while to Agnes had fallen the role of ‘mamm: but yes. terday the worm turned, and the custom ary ‘Now, let’s play keep house again, an’ I'll go off to work, like papa, while you stay home,’ was followed by ‘'Tain’t fair for you to play papa all the time! I'm goin’ to be it to-day!’ “The child had evidently studied the role of papa well before insisting oa taking it, however, for she acted it to perfection. The father is an inveterate smoker and extremely brusque spoken, a well, and I was convulsed with laughter as, unseen, I watched his new imitator. “**Papa’ went through the form of eat- ing breakfast, hidden from ‘mamma’ by a ‘morning paper’; then, placing a ep on the back of his head, he caught up bis dinner pail and, without so much asa glance at the meek-looking ‘mamma, rushed out of the make-believe door. After taking a few steps, he stalked back and, with a stamp of the foot, cried, “**Where in thunder is my pipe!’”” aA T. Timely Aphorisms The devil's brain is not an idle work- shop. No American waits for time and tide, Time and tide both have a speed limit. A fool at forty may be a fool in deed, but if he is not a fool in word at the same time, he can usually get by. They who help themselves usually doit in the name of Providence. Politeness is to do and say The cruelest thing in the sweetest way. Some people are too great cowards to admit they have a conscience. Nesta Margst Pat and the Apostles An English commercial traveler was one day driving past the General Post- office in Dublin, Ireland. Over the frost entrance of the building stand three large stone figures, representing three of the Apostles. The inquisitive traveler asked the Jarvey who was driving the outside car whom those figures denoted, to whic the answer quickly came, ‘‘The three Apostles, yer honor.’’ “But,” said the traveler, ‘‘I thought there were twelve of them. Where art the other nine?”” 4 “Inside, yer honor, sorting the letters In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated. comicbooks.com
