# "Medalsome" This page appears to be from *Judge* magazine and features a portrait photograph signed "Guy Hoff" of a woman wearing an elaborate decorative chain or necklace adorned with medals and cross symbols. The caption reads "Medalsome." The satire likely mocks a woman—possibly a society figure or public personality of the era—for ostentatiously displaying military medals, decorations, or honors. "Medalsome" is a pun combining "medals" with "meddlesome," suggesting she is both showy with honors and perhaps inappropriately involved in matters beyond her proper sphere. This was typical *Judge* satire targeting wealthy or socially prominent women who adopted militaristic affectations, particularly during or after wartime periods when medal-wearing held special significance.
