What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements for hotels and resorts** rather than political satire. The top features ads for Manhattan Beach's Oriental Hotel and Hotel Arlington in New York, emphasizing fashionable seaside leisure at the turn of the 20th century. The dominant ad is for **Hotel Ostend in Atlantic City**, using the poetic tagline "Where the Surf Sings You to Sleep"—typical period marketing targeting affluent tourists seeking relaxation and modern amenities (hot/cold running water, ocean views). The right column contains **"Passing the Mustard," a nostalgic poem by Madison Cawein** about yearning for childhood haunts, and two brief **theatrical jokes**: one about an actress feigning grief for a play, another about a wife maintaining appearance. These are light humor reflecting period gender dynamics and stage conventions. There is **no political satire or caricature visible**. This is essentially a lifestyle/entertainment page showcasing leisure culture and romantic sentimentality popular in early-1900s Judge magazine.

Passing the Mustard The Old Home An old lane, an old gate, an old house by a tree; A wild wood, a wild brook—they will not let me be. In boyhocd I knew them, and still they call to me. Down deep in my heart's core I hear them, and my eyes Through tear mists behold them beneath the old-time skies, "Mid bee boom and rose bloom and or- chard lands arise. I hear them; and heartsick with longing is my soul, To walk there, to dream there, beneath the sky’s blue bow]; Around me, within me, the weary world made whole. To talk with the wild brook of all the long ago; To whisper the wood-wind of things we used to know, When we were old companions, before my heart knew woe. To walk with the morning and watch its rose unfold; To drowse with the noontide, lulled is its heart of gold; To lie with the nighttime and dream the dreams of old. To tell to the old trees and to cach listen- ing leaf The longing, the yearning, as in my boy- hood brief, The old hope, the old love, would ease me of my grief. The old lane, the old gate, the old house by the tree; The wild wood, the wild brook—they will not let me be. In boyhood I knew them, and still they call to me. —Madison Cawein. Grief and Remorse—‘‘Now,"’ said the stage manager, ‘‘you are the heroine. You are supposed to suffer more than anybody else in the play. You must put yourself into a frame of mind which rep- resents grief and remorse.”’ “T know,” replied the leading woman. “T'll try to make myceif believe I'm one of the people who paid two dollars to see this play.""— Washington Star. The Feminine Comment —‘‘My hus- band,’’ she said, ‘‘always wants me to look my best, no matter what the cost."’ ‘*Well,’’ her friend replied, ‘‘one can hardly blame him for feeling as he does."" —Chicago Record-Herald. Not Pay for It—Bobbs—Your friend, the poet, seems to think he has a mes- sage for the world. Sobbs—Well, if he takes my advice, he'll send it collect.—Philadelphia Record.
