# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from Judge magazine (dated September 2, 1922) contains satirical commentary on contemporary social issues. The main illustration depicts three figures in conversation, drawn by Gilbert Wilkinson. The text pieces mock various subjects: a newlywed husband boasting his honeymoon cost less than the previous one (satirizing serial marriages); a lawyer who married despite refusing to represent divorce cases (hypocrisy); and commentary on Bryan's anti-Darwinian lectures (likely referencing William Jennings Bryan's involvement in evolution debates). Additional satirical items target "efficiency experts" promising to streamline office work, an "arrogant pup" with a fancy car, and observations about women becoming wives rather than remaining "angels"—typical early-20th-century social commentary on courtship, marriage, and changing gender roles.
