What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light humor**, typical of Judge magazine's format. The central cartoon titled "Passing the Mustard" shows a classical scene of a man and woman, with accompanying verse "A Rhyme of Regret" about lost love—the narrator was infatuated with "Miss Brown" but she married "Mr. Jones," so now he too must be Mr. Jones (presumably, he married her). It's gentle, wistful satire on romantic disappointment and marriage. The page otherwise consists of **whiskey and cigar advertisements** (Old Overholt Rye, Pebbleford Bourbon, Cortes Cigars) and service ads (press clipping bureau, patent attorneys, Judge binder subscriptions). Several **brief humorous anecdotes** appear: a wife's terrible handwriting affecting her mother's recovery, an heiress disclosing her father's dubious business methods, a father buying his son a dollar watch instead of a car, and a man sniffing around for a motor garage. These jokes reflect early 20th-century concerns: correspondence quality, old money versus new wealth, and emerging automobile culture. The page functions as entertainment and commercial space rather than political satire.

Placing the Blame—Mrs. Beanbrough held an open letter in her hand. “*Whom is it from?’’ asked her husband. “From mother.’* “‘What does she say about herself?”’ e says she is no better at this writ- ing.”” Beanbrough examined the letter. “‘No wonder!’’ he ejaculated. ‘‘That writing is bad enough to keep anybody from getting well.”"—Youngstown Tele- gram.
