# Judge Magazine, December 13, 1913 This page features a fashion illustration titled "A 'Skirt'" credited to artist Florri. It depicts a woman in early 1910s attire wearing a long skirt with decorative patterned overlay or coat, a fur collar, and a small hat with feathers. Rather than political satire, this appears to be a fashion commentary typical of Judge's society pages. The quotation marks around "Skirt" suggest irony—likely mocking the era's increasingly restrictive and voluminous skirt designs that were being debated as impractical or absurd by some commentators. This aligns with early 20th-century discussions about women's fashion constraints versus emerging calls for more functional clothing.
