This page contains **advertisements and humor pieces** typical of Judge magazine. **Upper left:** A Thomas Cook & Son travel advertisement for a Mediterranean cruise on the Cunard liner Caronia (January-March 1922), listing exotic ports including Spain, Egypt, Palestine, and Constantinople—appealing to wealthy tourists seeking cultural tourism. **Center cartoon:** A brief satirical piece about beach behavior—mocking both scantily-dressed women and men in ill-fitting bathing suits, presenting beach-goers as ridiculous spectacles. **Right side poem** ("Fooling Herself" by Strickland Gillilan): A moralistic verse satirizing young women's cosmetics and fashion—their makeup, false curls, short skirts, and "vampish" behavior. The poem's twist: they only fool themselves, while others see through the artifice. This reflects 1920s anxieties about changing female appearance and the "modern girl." **Bottom jokes:** Brief comedic pieces on unrelated topics (political ambitions, parental disapproval). The page reflects Jazz Age attitudes toward women's increasing social visibility and changing styles.

Girls reveal nearly all on the street and display the rest on the beach. A thin citizen in a fat citizen’s bathing suit is no rest for the weary optics. When a gent with 18-karat bunions and toes curled like Rover’s tail forces his tortu- ous figure into a zebra bathing suit, he looks like one of the things you aim at in a shooting gallery. eS DECLASSE The Van der Pelt heir wasn’t normal. precedent, natural expectations, family scientific theories, he was a regular fellow. Contrary to all traditions and NORTH POLE i” Polecats. Fooling Herself | By STRICKLAND GILLILAN V JHOM do you fool, little girl, little girl, With your cheek’s false blush and your hair’s false curl? | Whom do you fool with your pencilled brows And your neckless—almost waistless—blouse? Whom do you fool with your skirts brief | As to bring to our mind Eve’s figtree leaf? | Do you think you have fooled the modern youth? | He, too, is blasé, and he knows the truth. Whom do you lure with your vampish glance? Is it age you fool? Why there’s not a chance! Don’t you know that the rouge on your face and lips Is as plain as the point in a minstrel’s quips? Has it never occurred to your foolish brain That your puff and lip-stick work is vain? Have you never known that the You beneath | Shines plain as day from your chemic sheath? There is one that you fool, little girl, little girl; There is one whose head you have set awhirl. There is one, just one, in the world not wise To the work you do with your shape and eyes. There is one, just one, who doesn’t know You attract the least when the most you show. The rest of us know you through and through— The only one that is fooled is You. Not Available Ashley—I thought Pinkerson was going to run for mayor. Seymour—He was, but the labor unions investigated him and found that he did his own plumbing, plaster- ing, carpentry, painting, brick-laying, paper-hanging, and electric work.
