What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* presents a satirical illustration titled "At the White Sulphur Springs Golf Club, W.Va." showing well-dressed figures at an elite golf club. The accompanying text columns—"The Slandered Sex," "Her Extravagance," "Wise June," "A Comparison," "His Use," and "Hopeless"—appear to be humorous dialogues about gender relations and social behavior among the wealthy. The satire targets fashionable society's attitudes toward women, particularly regarding accusations of extravagance and poor judgment. The illustration shows both men and women in formal attire at a leisure venue, suggesting commentary on courtship, marriage expectations, and class pretensions among the upper class. The tone is gently mocking of both genders' stereotypical behaviors and the artificial social conventions governing their interactions at such exclusive resorts.
