What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine (a prominent American satirical publication) contains multiple humor pieces and advertisements typical of the publication's format. **Main Content:** The "Digest of the World's Humor" section collects brief anecdotes and jokes from various sources. Notable among these is a domestic humor piece about a woman who cried while peeling onions, and a satirical exchange between a minister and "Samuel" about whether brides still promise to obey husbands—implying changing marriage customs and women's independence. **Bottom Cartoon:** A sketch shows a Scottish visitor and American tourist discussing hotel elevators. The joke references Prohibition's recent passage: an American boasts of American hotels' modernity (elevators), while a Scotsman notes they won't need such luxuries under Prohibition—likely a jab at how alcohol availability made America attractive to visitors. **Advertisements:** The page includes typical period ads for hotels, theaters, and a "Rabbit Book" promoting rabbit farming as a home industry—reflecting post-WWI economic interests. The overall tone is light domestic and social satire aimed at middle-class readers.
