What you’re looking at
This is primarily a **humor/jokes page** from Judge magazine (November 10, 1917), featuring college-era witticisms and dating humor typical of the era. The cartoons and jokes satirize young romance and military life. **Key content:** - "With the College Wits" presents short comedic exchanges about dating, dancing, and romance—the humor relies on wordplay and mild flirtation (e.g., "sea-legs" as rolling pins, French heels causing pain). - One joke, "All Keyed Up," references **WWI trench warfare**—a soldier abandons his post mid-battle, claiming he "just learned" the enemy is in the *other* direction, satirizing military confusion or the chaos of modern warfare. **The surrounding ads** (Cuban cigars, "Sexual Knowledge" guides, fake diamonds) target young men, reflecting period consumer culture. The page emphasizes that next week's Thanksgiving issue will feature illustrations of native birds. This is essentially an entertainment/advertising page with light satirical humor rather than hard political commentary.
