# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several satirical pieces typical of early-20th-century Judge magazine: **"A New Species"** satirizes psychology's growing prominence, mocking the new field of "abnormal psychology" by suggesting we need psychologists to analyze the psychologists themselves—implying the discipline is itself abnormal or pretentious. **"You Never Can Tell"** is a humorous short story playing on assumptions: readers expect a young woman being followed by men to have a romantic adventure, but the punchline reveals her "date" is actually her mother, subverting expectations of modern courtship. **The cartoon at bottom** shows Edison-style bugs posing riddle-questions (nonsensical logic puzzles like "how many itches in a mosquito?") to job-seekers, mocking both absurd interview questions and the struggling job market. Other brief items include gentle mockery of clergy priorities (golf-loving rectors) and marital mishaps, standard light humor fare for the publication.

You Never Can Tell By Epwarp H. Drescunack GHE was a pretty little thing, short- skirted, pink-cheeked, and bob-haired, As she tripped lightly down the runway Icading from Grand Central station to the shuttle, many admiring glances were lev- eled in her direction. Two male flirts tried to “make”’ her, but she ignored them completely. “Some chicken!” exclaimed one youth to his pal, as they trailed in her wake. | “Wonder who the lucky chap is she has the date with!” The “chicken” boarded a Seventh Avenue local and alighted at 5rst Street. The trailing youths were still in evidence, but they followed at a more discreet dis- tance; for they had considerable experience in this sort of thing!
