Judge — November 1, 1924 — page 19: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page collects satirical vignettes mocking wealthy "best people" and their affectations. The top cartoon shows a fashionable woman with her chauffeur and car—the joke being about servants indulging their employers' vanity (the permanent wave reference). The middle quote jokes that someone drinks French dressing nightly to wake up "oily"—satirizing pretentious, affected behavior among the elite. The bottom scene, credited to Rogers and Brennan in "Ritz Review," depicts a man on a horse claiming he's avoiding the sun—absurd excuse-making by the wealthy. The large tree suggests irony: despite being outdoors specifically to escape sun, he positions himself under shade. Overall, the page mocks the superficiality, poor reasoning, and ridiculous vanity of the upper class, a common Judge magazine theme.
