# Page Analysis: Judge Magazine (Page 2) This page combines office satire with golf humor, typical of Judge's early 20th-century content. **"A Matter of Course"** mocks a harried businessman (Mr. Averageman) juggling constant workplace demands—dictating letters, managing phone calls, dealing with staff incompetence. The sketch satirizes the frantic pace of modern office life and managerial frustration with subordinates. **"The Golf Season Gets Under Way"** depicts golfers in comedic situations, including what appears to be a woman playing poorly. The accompanying "Songs for Golfers" and dialogue jokes target golf's growing popularity among the middle class, poking fun at enthusiastic but unskilled amateur players. The **"Krazy Kracks"** advertisement promotes a hotel, representing typical period advertising. Overall, the page reflects Jazz Age anxieties about modern work culture and leisure pursuits.
