What you’re looking at
This page combines advertising and satirical humor typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine. The main content includes: 1. **"A Jill for Jack"** — An advertisement for a James Montgomery Flagg illustration of an attractive woman in yachting attire, available as a print for 25 cents. Flagg was a renowned commercial illustrator known for pin-up style imagery. 2. **"With The College Wits"** — A collection of short jokes mocking pretentious college humor. The opening parodies overwrought, flowery literary language ("eglantine," "mellifiuous") before launching into an equally absurd romance narrative. The humor satirizes collegiate affectation and flowery writing styles. 3. **Additional short jokes** about courtship, propriety, and domestic situations reflecting early 1900s social conventions. 4. **Product advertisements** including Fifty Six cigarettes and Hotel Earlington. The satire targets college students' pretentiousness and the era's strict social conventions around romance and propriety.

Leslie-Judge Co. 225 Fifth Avenue New York With The College Wits Description—The eglantine and vinely wild thyme twines melancholily around the cornelians and nectarines, while the hyacinth orientalis rampates nutritiously over the melocotoned arbor, until the very frittellaria begin to get gay with the honey-suckers. Into this mellifiuous midst saturates a vision clad completely in white gilliflowers and wearing a wreath of gilded cypress. Her eyes besparkle like periwinkles, and her lavender lips play like hollyhocks over her rosemary cheeks, her whole fleur-de-lis profile be- ing backgrounded unctuously by her mari- gold hair. This is Columbine. She is certainly one Pippin. Far over the rocky hills a straining, vital, red-blooded man is climbing a rough, craggy cliff, champing the raging cowslips beneath his gritty feet. Will he quit? Nay, he will die first. Crows caw raucously above his head, chestnuts bound ferociously from his skull, and the slimy, snake-filled pools glitteringly tempt him to imbibe; but all in vain. Our hero knows his hair will stay parted, and noth- ing can stop him. Bounding over the embossments, he stands flossily before Columbine, flicking an impudent frog from his cuff. His name is Augustus. He is a regular fellow. “I'm a dreamer,”’ says he. “So am I,’’ says she. They clinch.— Yale Record. —Pennsylvania Punch Bowl, -FIFTY SIX- —the cigarette of the connoisseur— We think this is the finest cigarette in the world.
