# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains humorous verses and illustrations rather than political satire. The main content includes: **"Achievement"** - A biographical tribute to someone (author Leonard MacTaggart) listing his New Year's resolutions: abstinence from alcohol, profanity, hard work, sleep discipline, and marital attentiveness. He died January 1st, suggesting the resolutions were short-lived—a common satirical joke about failed New Year's promises. **"An Eye-opener"** and **"Consolation"** - Poems about drinking and social disappointment, typical of Judge's humor. **"The Fur Coat"** - Three fashion illustrations showing a woman's wardrobe evolution labeled "Past," "Present," and "Future," likely satirizing changing fashions or women's materialism. **"Lizzie Labels"** - A small comic feature offering prizes for submitted captions. The page emphasizes social humor and fashion satire rather than political commentary.

Never to swear, not even at his stenographer. ‘To work eight hours every day and to get ten hours sleep at night. Never to retell a story more than ten times, but to laugh at those of his friends no matter how ancient. ‘To be attentive to his wife, even when he was with her. To like his job and admire his superiors. To give money to the children hefore they even asked for it. r to try to use the carand to appear pleased when the repair bills came in.
