What you’re looking at

This is a satirical cartoon drawn by S. Werner, likely from the early 20th century. It depicts two women in an intimate pose, with the dialogue implying infidelity. One woman boasts that both her fiancés are present at an event, seated next to each other—suggesting the audacity or comedy of having multiple romantic partners simultaneously without them knowing. The satire targets what appears to be loose morality or romantic deception among women of the era. The humor relies on the shock value of a woman openly admitting to multiple engagements and the absurdity of the situation. This reflects period attitudes toward women's fidelity and reflects Judge magazine's typical approach to satirizing social behavior and gender relations of its time.
