# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page from *Judge* magazine contains a short story titled "Two New Yorkers" by Mary Graham Bonner about a couple hiking in the Canadian Rockies, plus a section of humorous letters to the editor. The central illustration depicts two figures in a mountainous landscape—one seated in a chair with surveying or artistic equipment, the other standing. The caption reads: "The Artist—Do you like marines? 'Yes, but I just adore aviators.'" This appears to be a visual pun playing on the double meaning of "marines" (soldiers vs. seascapes) and "aviators" (pilots vs. aviation-themed artwork). The humor relies on the woman's preference for aviators as romantic subjects rather than as paintings or military subjects, reflecting early-20th-century fascination with aviation as a modern, glamorous pursuit.
