What you’re looking at

This page consists primarily of **advertising and light humor pieces** rather than political satire. **"Stories with Smiles"** presents three brief domestic comedies: a boy's warning note protecting a sleeping turtle from his tired father; a wife's sudden sweetness masking a request for money; and a joke about an economical shopping bag so complicated it delays payment. These reflect early 20th-century middle-class domestic life. The advertisements—for Gibson's Rye whiskey, Havana cigars, Hotel Earlington, lighter mechanisms, and gems—dominate the page and represent the magazine's revenue source. The "Happy Marriage" article appears to be educational content about sexual knowledge, typical of the era's cautious approach to such topics. **No political cartoons or caricatures appear on this page.** The humor is domestic and consumer-oriented, reflecting Judge's role as both satirical magazine and advertising vehicle for affluent readers.

rey ! Regs | Stories ‘with Smifes ing for Father—There is a boy, pve) old, in a family which recently returned to their apartment after spenc- ing the summer in the country. Mother, small son and maids went to the flat. Father went to his office, where a pressure of work compelled him to labor allday and far into the evening. When he got home, everybody had gone to bed. Approaching the bathroom door, he found it closed and adorned with a large sheet of wrapping paper, on which a proclama- tion of some sort seemed to have been laboriously printed in large and straggling capital letters a. Turning up the hall lignt, this is what father read: Do not open the bathroom dore. Do not rase the window. Do not turn up the light. Do not make any noise. There is a mud turtle asleep in the wash basin.—Forest and Stream. He Tumbled—His wife met him at the door. His dinner had been waiting for thirty minutes, but she was smiling sweetly. Her hair was done up ina be- coming style, and she looked ten years younger than usual. She put her arms around his neck, drew his head down and kissed him sweetly. “Give me your hat and coat,”’ she said. “I will hang them away, for I can see that you are tired. Have you had a hard day at the office, dear?” “Yes,” he replied. ‘‘I’m all fagged out.”” “I'm sorry. But never mind. I feel sure that things will take a turn for the better soon. I’ve got a surprise for you —the maid has prepared a nice chicken stew, the kind you like so well. Shall I run upstairs and get your slippers?’” “Never mind, little woman,” he replied, pushing his hand into his pocket. ‘*How much do you want?’’—Chicago Record- Herald. ” Economical Handbag—‘‘I want you to see my lovely new shopping bag,’’ said a certain lady to a caller the other after- noon. ‘‘My husband gave it tome for my birthday, and it’s simply grand! And it’s so economical! You see, you open this, and there are two compartmen and you open the compartments on tl side, and there is a little pocket in that, and you open the little pocket, and there is a cute little pocketbook for change, with one side partitioned off for street- car tickets.’” “T see,’’ said the caller. ‘‘But why do you call it economical ?”’ “Why, it takes so long to open all the things and get to your street-car tickets that, by the time you do, whoever is with you has paid your fare.'’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mrs. Casey's Alarm—Mrs. Casey was Proud of her strong, muscular son, and still more proud of him when he went In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated.
