What you’re looking at
This page contains no political cartoon. Instead, it features: **"From a Sinner's Diary"** — a nostalgic essay by Lynette Freemire reflecting on past romantic interests and deceased friends. The author reminiscences about a woman who disguised acquiring a new suitor, a former schoolmate with many children, and a devout Free Methodist woman she admired. The piece is sentimental rather than satirical. **Black & White Scotch Whisky Advertisement** — a straightforward product endorsement claiming the brand is trusted by those with discriminating taste. The page is primarily literary content and advertising. There is no satirical commentary, political reference, or caricature visible. It represents Judge functioning as a general-interest illustrated magazine mixing humor, personal essays, and commercial content rather than focusing exclusively on political satire.

Ts From a Sinner’s Diary WOMAN here played the cutest game! Sunday she got dinner as A usual, and by suppertime she had a new boy. And none of the turkey buzzards even knew she'd ordered it. But I say, wasn't that ty cute? I thought it good for a couple quarts of strawberries. Isent ‘em. Someway, I take great interest in that baby—a fellow that would conspire to give his mother such a pleasant Sunday afternoon. There used to be a girl that (she or I) always spelled down the cchool. Whichever failed first, the other would always know the right way, and the teacher would sometimes have to juggle quite a while to down the last one. But her bait attracted a husband, and now she has six or eight souvenirs, and one to carry. But when I see her, she grins, asever, looking like a spelling book to me, though now her covers are off, alot of her leaves are gone, and the rest torn and dog-eared and thumbed to pieces. She and I didn’t neighbor with dolls, but always played horse. She never went to and came from school with the other young ones (I did. I loved to fight!), but ahead. Nobody but she and I knew that her freckled pug nose belonged to a satin-coated Don Fulano, and she never knew that I knew. But I was too wise to mis- take that curbed neck and foaming bit and prancing gait, that kept her jockey looking alive that he didn’t get scattered to the four winds. When you see any one spell down, ask if they used to play horse. ‘And if you see any one play horse, ask if they can spell. To-day I looked over my box of photographs. Good old friends among them, who one by one have laid down their burdens and crossed ‘over, some to one place, some to the other. Some held the horse, and some got the melons. I love them all so that I should be torn with distraction which to go to were I called on to lay down my husking peg and choose. In the front row stands a Free Methodist sister, but not one who believed falling over the altar backward and sticking a leg in the air spelled ‘‘Glory!"* She was one of the few Christians—I could almost count them on the thumbs of one hand—I have ever known who claimed tobe. (I have hardly fingers enough to go around to those I think would measure up who don’t claim to be.) Everybody loved her, even my pa, and he is prone to take saints by the nose instead of the hand mostly. —Lynette Freemire.

ALEX D[SH AW/ «co ny Before you buy, be sure your pur- chase is going to give you complete satisfaction in its service to you. The best way to be sure is to have a signed statement by the manufacturer, setting forth the kind of service you can expect from his product. Every advertisement in this issue of Judge is such a signed statement. Regard it as such; if it offers you something you’re interested in, give it your attention and your confidence. ‘The manufacturer himself or any of his dealers is always glad to give you further information; frequently the advertisement offers you further ‘signed statements’’—special catalogs or booklets giving more detailed information than is contained in the advertisement. A letter or postal card to the advertiser will bring you—without the slightest obligation—all the facts you will want to have at hand in considering your purchase. ‘There is no better way to ‘know what you're buying’ than to first read the advertisements—and then insist on getting the brand you've decided you want.
