# Judge Magazine, April 1923 This page contains three separate humor pieces rather than a unified political cartoon. **"Lady April"** is a nostalgic poem about a woman's return to town, celebrating her fashionable appearance and embroidery skills—typical 1920s domestic humor. **"More Light!"** satirizes housewives' desire for bright living rooms, mocking the impracticality of husbands needing to navigate around excessive lighting fixtures. **"The voice of spring"** (the large illustration) depicts a woman being startled by a "ACHOO!"—likely satirizing spring allergies or the season's disruptions to comfort. **"Egg View News-note"** contains brief gossipy anecdotes about local society figures, including references to politics and a canoe accident. The humor is gentle, domestic-focused satire typical of 1920s Judge magazine, targeting middle-class family life rather than serious political commentary.
