What you’re looking at

This page features an illustration titled "The Family Jewel" by Grant E. Hamilton, depicting a baby's face emerging from a wedding ring. The accompanying verse ("They cry all day and howl all night") presents a humorous, affectionate portrait of infants as perpetual sources of noise and motion—yet ultimately precious family treasures. The image satirizes sentimental Victorian attitudes toward children and marriage. Judge marketed this as an attractive print for living rooms or nurseries, selling reproductions for 25 cents. The juxtaposition of the romantic symbol (wedding ring) with the decidedly unromantic reality of a crying baby captures the magazine's blend of gentle mockery and domestic humor typical of early 20th-century American satire. The surrounding "Remnants" section contains various short humorous anecdotes about relationships, religion, and social behavior—standard filler content for the era.

Remnants Some Bride—The bride is a woman of wondrous fascination and remarkable at- tractiveness, for, with manner as en- chanting as the wand of a siren and a disposition as sweet as the odors of flowers, and spirits as joyous as the carolings of birds and mind as brilliant as those glittering tresses that adorn the brow of winter, and with heart as pure as dewdrops trembling in a coronet of violets, she will make the home of her husband a paradise of enchantment, like the lovely home of her girlhood, where the heaven-toned harp of marriage, with its chords of love and devotion and fond endearments, sent forth the sweetest strains of felicity that ever thrilled the senses with the rhythmic pulsings of ecstatic rapture.—Charlottesville (Ky.)

Silence—‘‘Once a friend of mine and I agreed that it would be helpful for each of us to tell the other his faults.”’ “How did it work?” “We haven’t spoken for nine years.”” —Chicago Record-Herald. Doubly an Agnostic—Professor Haley had been much annoyed by the persist- ency with. which a young man, who boasted of being an agnostic, discussed his religious beliefs in the history class. One day he was giving his class a brisk oral examination. The young man, al- ways ready to argue, was having a hard time with the direct, pointed questions that Professor Haley shot at him. “TI believe,’ remarked the professor, after a bit, with his usual lisp, ‘‘that you are an agnothtic in religiouth matterth.’” “Yes, sir’? answered the young man promptly, scenting an opportunity to es- cape from the grilling to which he was being subjected. “*T can athure you,”’ said the professor, setting down a zero in his grade-book, “that you are an agnothtic in hithtory ath well.’’— Youth’s Companion, Made No Difference—Two women, mu- tually confiding their grouches. One woman, a sweet little soul; the other, a self-assertive body. “You can’t think how this high cost of living affects us,’’ confessed the one. “Why, my bills for clothes alone are more than twice as large this year as they were last year.’” “*Mercy!’’ gasped the other. ‘‘I don’t see how your husband can afford it!’’ “That's the answer—he can’t,’’ rebut- ted the first. ‘‘But he couldn’t afford it last year. So what's the difference?”’— Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. The Real Feminine Power—‘‘So you don’t approve of those London suffra- gettes?’ “I don’t know much about them,’’ re- plied Miss Cayenne, ‘‘but I can’t help feeling that a woman who can’t subdue a few men without the use of dynamite is something of a failure.’’— Washington Star.
