What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and promotional content** rather than political satire or editorial cartooning. The main feature is "A Jill for Jack," a James Montgomery Flagg illustration (a famous commercial artist of the era) depicting an attractive woman in nautical attire. The accompanying text markets this image as a print for sale—aimed at sailors or gift-givers—emphasizing her beauty and "yachting rig." The bulk of the page contains four brief humorous anecdotes under "Stories with Smiles," typical of Judge's light humor: a postal clerk's frustration, a girl's Presbyterian excuse, a householder's ironic hospitality to a burglar, and a father's fishing excuse. These are gentle, family-friendly jokes reflecting early 20th-century social attitudes. The remaining space is filled with hotel and product advertisements typical of the magazine's era. There is **no significant political content** or satirical commentary on this particular page.

Leslie-Judge Co. 225 Fifth Avenue New York 2 a Stories with Smifes Urgent Business—A man called at the Wellington postoffice the other day and asked for the postmaster. He was toid by the clerk that the postmaster was not in. ‘*When will he be in?’’ was asked. The postmaster would be in within half ‘an hour, “Ig there anything I can do for you?” the clerk asked. ‘‘No; I want to see the postmaster."’ After a while the man came back and asked again for the postmaster. ‘‘He’s not back yet,’’ the clerk told him. ‘‘Is there anything I can do for you, or can I tell him something when he comes?"”” “No, there ain't nuthin’ you can do, and I wisht the postmaster was here. I want to see if there’s any mail for me, and I’m gettin’ in a hurry.”’—Kansas City Star. Excusable—An evangelist was once con- ducting joint revival meetings in the two churches, Methodist and Presbyterian, of a small town. Children’s meetings were held every day at the close of school, first in one church and then in the other. One day two girls who attended the Presbyterian church were discussing the meeting which was to be held in the Methodist church that afternoon when Mary asked: “*What would you do if they should ask you to pray??? ‘I wouldn’t do it,’’ answered Martha. “I'd just tell them I’m a Presbyterian.”’ —Harper’s Magazine. Asking a Favor—‘‘Gan I believe my eyes?"’ exclaimed Mr. Timkins, as he confronted the burglar. Mr. Timkins had been sent down in the middle of the night to investigate a strange noise, which proved to be the family silver in process of packing up. The burglar reached for his gun, but Mr. Timkins grabbed the hand instead. “‘Don’t,"” he , giving the hand a cordial shake. You don’t know how much I'm interested in you. Stay awhile. I want you to meet Mrs. Timkins.”” “While you're calling a cop! Not on your life!” retorted the burglar. “No,’’ said Mr. Timkins. ‘‘I just want you to stay while I call my wife. She’s heard you at work every night for twenty years, and this is the first chance she’s ever had to see you."’~-New York Even- ing Post Careful Father+-Young Harold was late in attendance for Sunday school and the minister inquired the cause. “I was going fishing, but father would not let me,”’ announced the lad. “That's the right kind of a father to have,”’ replied the reverend gentleman, “Did he explain the reason why he would not let you go?” “Yes, sir. He said there wasn't bait enough for two.""—Harper’s Magazine. “THE VELVELOUR" — —Something Different Fashion decrees: ““Velours!* “The Velvelour” sets you apart from tne lorowd Sold only by wn Ot dnese velvet velour sik seree lined.
