What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theatrical advertising** from an early 20th-century New York entertainment section. The left side features the main cartoon—a caricatured face in an oval frame labeled "For Your Amusement," though the specific figure and satire are unclear from the image quality. The bulk of the page comprises advertisements for Broadway theaters and plays (Empire, Republic, Eltinge, etc.) alongside a column reviewing current theatrical productions. The text discusses various shows including comedies, musicals, and dramas popular at the time. On the right side, there's an editorial piece titled "Home Economics" where a character (Susan Maria) declines attending a lecture, arguing that home economics is already well-understood and that families should spend leisure time at restaurants rather than worrying about domestic efficiency—a satirical commentary on contemporary debates about women's domestic labor and modern leisure habits. The page reflects Judge's typical format: mixing entertainment coverage with social commentary on contemporary attitudes.

This title is appropriate to much in the volume that relates to the life of the submerged, though it contains other poems filled with happier thought and more inspiring suggestion. There is a phase of inspiration, of course, in Miss Burr’s more serious subjects. All of her work—and JUDGE readers are familiar with some of her more felicitous poems that have been published in this magazine —vibrates with life and much of it is el- oquent of protest against adverse conditions. Some men think that “rocks” are the only stepping stones to success. Home Economics “NATO, I don’t want to go to no home economics lecture,” declined Aunt Susan Maria in response to the invitation of a niece she was visiting in the city, “That's all I've heard about since I come here. At first I didn’t quite know what you meant, but now I’ve got on to it and I’m tired hearing about it. Folks in the city are too stingy of themselves as it is.” “Come, you must go,” the family group insisted. “Home economics are a craze just now. soon as everyone thoroughly understands about them it will be the saving of the home, and the home is the bulwark of the nation.” ‘H’m, well, maybe,” Aunt Susan Maria, opined, “but I can’t figure out how. You are all too stingy of yourselves now.” “What do you mean by that curious remark?” her niece inquired. “Why, you're all so set on making the home economical that I suppose you try to save wear and tear on the furniture by never staying at home. I’ve noticed too,” she continued, once launched, “you're so afraid of wearing out the dishes and the gas stove that you take turns eating out in them restaurants, for there hain’t been a night since I came here that the whole nily has sect down to a meal together. “Then, your so afraid of wearing out the bed linen that you all come home very late and so don’t spend much time in bed. That's home economy with a vengency. Likewise you're so economical of your shoe leather you don’t do your own marketing, and so saving of your time you even leave the ordering to that girl in the kitchen. Another economical thing you do is to go to the movies every night in winter so you can run the furnace low and save electric bills. Then every summer you come up and stay at my house as long as you can so it won't cost you nothing to live.” “You're altogether too economical now. ‘There ain’t anything you city folks need to learn about home economics, and I don’t hanker after your notions and don’t want to hear no lecturing on the subject.
