What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It features a full-page advertisement for *House & Garden* magazine, promoting a subscription deal: six issues for $1 (claiming a 50-cent savings). The ad uses persuasive copy emphasizing that expert home advice could save homeowners "$100—Perhaps $1,000" on single purchasing mistakes. It lists the magazine's features: consulting experts (architect, landscaper, decorator), artistic quality comparable to *Vogue*, and a shopping service. The three photographs at left show domestic interiors and gardens, illustrating the magazine's subject matter. On the right are two poems: "An Autumn Maid" (romantic verse about a woman) and "The Mystery" (a short story excerpt about a groom at a wedding). **No political satire or caricature is present.** This is a straightforward commercial page from *Judge* magazine's advertising section, typical of early 20th-century magazine layouts mixing editorial content with promotions.

My love has feet that seem as fleet As milk-weed down a-fluttering; Her words, like notes of homing birds, Are lyric in their uttering; Her smile is as the smile of morn Upon the fields of tasseled corn, And yet she has the heart of spring! —Clinton Scollard. The Mystery ‘ ELL, no,” replied Mr. Gap Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge, Ark., who had percolated into the sanctum of the able edi- tor of the Polkville Clarion, and been held up at the point of the scribe’s interroga- tory gimlet. “I don’t reckon there’s any news worth telling out my way. Nuth’n’ special has—Ho! Come to think, though. just as the preacher was about to pro- nounce the ominous words at a wedding tuther day, the groom—a spindling sort of feller—gave a gasp, boolged out of the wiy, dow, and defunct as the crow flies. “While the bride was doing some fainting and such as that, us gents scoured arounc for the runaway groom. We didn’t fing hide nor hair of him for about two hours, ang then a boy said he'd seen him crawl into a ick. You never heard a felley hooraw and take on as he did when we drog him forth from the hay. But he quieted down some when we reminded him that get- ting married wasn’t gener'ly regarded as simultaneous with getting killed. He went through the ceremony in pretty fair shape, and then while we was congratulating the, happy couple another feller showed up who proved to be the real groom. He ex- plained that when he had had time to think it over he found he was ashamed of himself and had come back to apologize and marry. “We sorter looked the feller over that had really got married, and behold you, he was some cuss that nobody had ever seen before! The rest of us had taken it for granted that as we had found him hiding in the haystack he must nacher’ly be the right man, but it ’peared like we had dug him out of the wrong stack. The genuine groom acted sorter wild when we explained things to him, and some of the rest of us was kinder sur- prised. But, as the bride hadn't offered any objections, it didn’t look like anybody else had much say-so coming. But nobody has found out yet what the wrong feller had been doing that he preferred getting married to being caught at it. Looks sorter like— yaw-w-w-wn!—rain, off to the south’ard, don’t it?” —Tom P. Morgan.
