# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three separate pieces of satirical writing and illustrations, each with distinct subjects: 1. **"I Remember"** by William Sanford is nostalgic commentary on inflation. The author laments that what once cost fifteen cents (a foamy glass of beer, jitney ride, lunch, and entertainment) now costs several dollars, making past leisure activities unaffordable. 2. **"All for Him"** by F. Schaub depicts a heartbreaking hospital scene where a devoted woman visits her bedridden lover, enduring painful steel restraints while he remains bound. The doctor offers her permanent waves as compensation for her suffering. 3. **"Cherchez L'Homme"** by Burne Carrington is a poem praising hypothetical men of integrity and accomplishment—though the author admits never meeting such a man. The illustrations are unrelated to serious political commentary; they're general social humor.

Cherchez L’Homme By BURNE CARRINGTON q | [F I could find a single man who'd | care Less for my lips than words they’ve said; A single man in all the world who’d dare To praise my wicked eyes for what they’ve read; One person who paid hom- age to my hands For deeds accomplished, rather than their shape; In short, a super-being who'd understand | He’s not among the trees | and still an ape; for the A BooKKEEPER’s MENTAL OUTLOOK. An Epigram An epigram I will divide With you, if you will share it— Most people in this world decide They’d better sin and bear it! In Stage Attire Dramatists generally have their tragic scenes with their characters in evening clothes, while night clothes are suitable for comedy. = 3 If in the worla one man has had the grace To say that only mental things elate him I must admit I’ve never seen his face.

MECHANIC? 6 I Remember— By WILLIAM SANFORD REMEMBER one evening some years ago | had only fifteen cents and I wanted to be a prince for a night. I went into a hotel “annex” and there bought a great, foamy glassfull | for five cents, and helped myself to a fine lunch. Then I hailed a jitney and rode about the city for the sum of another nickel. With my last nickel I saw a fine moving picture show. Alas! That was some years ago! To-night I paid a dollar seventy- five for the lunch, two dollars for the ride about the city and seventy-five cents, plus war tax for the movie show. And I can’t get the great, foamy glassfull at any price! All for Him By F. SCHAUB WHat a heartbreaking sight! The spotless white room, the array of bottles on the shelves, the white-garbed doctor, a serious, pre- occupied look on his face, and the odor of steaming chemicals in the air. In the midst of all this, a young, frail girl, reclining in a chair, her head bound in tight steel. How she loved Gerald! She was happy to suffer all this pain, for just his smile as re- ward. Her face was white and drawn, but a look of expectation was in her eyes. The doctor looked at her with concern, then spoke a few words to his attendant, who hastened to the patient’s aid. Piece by piece, the cruel, torturing steel was re- moved from the girl’s head until she was free. With a sigh of relief, she turned to the mirror. “Some wave! isn’t it, doctor?” “Yes, mademoiselle, T guarantee my permanent waves to last six months. Forty dollars, please.” WHY NOT EXTRA PARTS AND A
