# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (June 17, 1922) This cartoon by Robert Patterson depicts a domestic scene satirizing infidelity. A well-dressed man stands in a doorway holding bouquets, while a woman inside frantically hides evidence of another man's presence—visible through a doorway where a second man appears. The caption reads: "He loved not wisely—but two Wellesleys." The joke references the Wellesley name, likely implying two women of that surname or social circle. The satire mocks a man attempting to maintain simultaneous romantic relationships, with the cartoon showing the comedic chaos that ensues when both women are present. This reflects 1920s social humor about infidelity and the "new morality" debates of the Jazz Age.
