# Judge Magazine, May 24, 1923 - Page Analysis The page features articles on "Patience" by Clarence Stone and poetry ("The Gardener" by John Hanlon), alongside a cartoon captioned "Cutting up." The main cartoon depicts a social scene: a woman in a car speaks to a man outside, saying "Miss Nancy, I hope you will stay until the end of the dance, so the other chauffeurs can't say you aren't popular." The humor satirizes social pretense and status-consciousness of the era—specifically, the shallow measure of popularity by the number of available chauffeurs (indicating wealthy suitors with cars). The cartoon mocks how people perform social importance through visible displays of romantic attention, particularly among the wealthy class of the 1920s.

Patience, which makes peo- ple easy to manage and harm- less when abus regarded by men of religion and men of ambition a: wonderful virtue—for othe It is one thing that wealthy men are | willing to let other peor possess in unlimited quanti- ties, without making any effort to get it away from them. Political persons, who make polities and the public are always discovering ne ways to say that the people must be patient. Husbands — | who have slow pocketbooks | and quick tempers, habit- | ually insist that their wives must be more patient. _Em- ployers who wouldn't know patience if they ran over it in broad daylight, regularly announce to employees that those who hope to get ahead must be patient.

WITH WHICH IS COMBINED LESLIE'S WEEKLY “Life, Liberty andthe pursuit of Happiness” Patience was discovered, widely ad- vertised and first sold to the public by the famous founder of the soft-pedal society. It is a form of safety first, and plain common sense: if you plan to pull the ears and noses of people, it is just as well first to train those people to believe that it is noble to say nothing and do noth- ing when being plucked. Patience, in fact, when you come to analyze it, is a paying proposition—for those who do not have it. The Brute Force of Habit Momllight, Soft’ music. Romance in the air.
