# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page from *Judge* magazine features a satirical cartoon about marriage and divorce. The illustration shows three fashionably dressed women and a man at what appears to be a social gathering, with a horse and rider visible in the background (suggesting an upscale venue). The accompanying text mockingly addresses the opening line: "So you married in haste and repented at leisure?" The response reveals marital discord—the speaker has spent time "hustling all the time to pay alimony," suggesting divorce and financial obligation. The lower section contains humorous vignettes about social issues: bathing costume regulations, dubious financial brokers, and long engagements. The overall tone satirizes modern urban life, financial instability, and marital instability among the wealthy class during what appears to be the early 20th century.
