What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with comic filler content**. The "College Wits" section reprints jokes from university humor magazines (Harvard Lampoon, Cornell Widow, Michigan Gargoyle, Yale Record)—a common Judge feature. The jokes reflect 1920s college social anxieties: a young man's relief that his date only asks if he drinks (implying prohibition-era concerns), confusion about whether jewelry is "real," and miscommunication between a nervous suitor (Mr. Gubb) and unimpressed young women. The humor hinges on the gap between what people say versus what they think—the women politely accept a movie date while internally considering it a last resort. **The satire targets**: male romantic earnestness, female indifference, and the social performativity required in courtship. The jokes assume a reader familiar with college life and contemporary dating rituals. The surrounding ads (watches, garters, cleaning fluid, hotels, cocktails) suggest the magazine's affluent male readership.

Do you drink anything?’’ A smile of relief lighted his handsome countenance. Was that all she wanted to know? Proudly, triumphantly he clasped her in his arms and whispered in her shell- like ear. **Anything,”’ Don’t They!—'66—What a lovely ring! Is it silver? '16—No; platinum. "66—You don't tell me!

Don’t you think we had better break this theater date and go with him? He’s so fasci- nating!"" “Why, yes—I'd much rather go with him."” (What they really said) “Annie, this mutt Gubb wants to take us to the movies. Do you think we had better accept or take a chance on some one else? It’s rather late."’ “Oh, I suppose we may as well do something.’’ “Yes, Mr. Gubb—we'll be delighted to go."’— Michigan Gargoyle.
