# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This is a satirical **Editor's Column** page from Judge magazine, likely from the 1920s, devoted to younger readers and social trends. **Main Content:** The "High Hat" column uses humor to critique modern youth culture and parenting. References include: - **Bacardi book satire**: A mock "review" of a drinking guide disguised as a Bacardi history, with chapters listing cocktail ingredients (lemon, orange juice, nutmeg, egg) as if they were characters—poking fun at Prohibition-era drinking culture. - **Parenting critique**: Satirizes sloppy child-care advice, noting hypocritical youth who frequent "Night Clubs" while caring for children. - **"High Hat" society**: Mocks an exclusive social game where young people rank partners based on entertainment choices—targeting adolescent pretension. - **Bathing suit fashion**: Light commentary on new beach fashion and color trends. The overall tone mocks both reckless youth behavior and adults' hand-wringing about the younger generation, using absurdist humor typical of 1920s satirical magazines.

JUDGE I've heard a great deal about the Editor's Easy Chair, but the bird who called it that must have been kidding no end . . . . since I've been sitting in it it’s been more like an electric chair and my heart goes out in sympathy to the poor guy who has to get out this periodical of pleasure every week no won- der he’s so sad looking! coped As this number is devoted to the younger or more rising generation, we'll start off with a bang on the care and feeding of children as Dr. Holt might do it growing youngsters are very sensitive and great care should be taken with their bottles . . the labels should be examined efully to see that the color won't come off If they insist on playing with cocktail shakers in bed see that the metal is not tarnished as it is apt to give them colic walked the floor all night with his child (in some Night Club) will understand this... . when a child suffers from hiccoughs a simple remedy is to take his bottle away from him. ft Speaking of bottles, discovered a peach of a drink last week .. . . there was only one lemon in the ice box and a box of red raspberries being a resourceful young man I squeezed up the said raspberries and the lemon, added some Gordon Water and boy, what a beverage! it’s hereby labeled a ‘“Razzberry” because that’s what I got for using up the desert. p> We take great pride in announcing that Jamaica High School is behind us as one man they also sug- gest we get out a High Hat Number well, you asked for it. Here it is! For this week’s book review we will cover a charming little volume entitled, “Bacardi and Its Many Uses,” kindly sent in by Mr. Cadman HIGH Za .... It is dedicated to his he King of Spain, and is a story with a kick. The preface states that in 1889 Alfonso XIII, King of Spain, was in a dangerous state of weakness under the influence of an attack of grippe. Alcoholic stimulant was prescribed and Bacardi was selected for its purity. The hero is Benny Bacardi himself and he gets. in more mix-ups! . . . . . Chapter Six, where he meets “Bacardi Blossom,” seems to me the most interesting other characters in this chap- ter are 1 teaspoonful of sugar, the juice of an orange, the juice of a lime, a grated nutmeg and cracked ice .... The Seventh Chapter has quite a “punch” also Bacardi gets mixed up with a glass of hot milk, a tablespoonful of sugar, a pinch of grated nutmeg and the yolk of an egg, but everything comes out all right! . . . . the book has a very happy ending!..... Mr. Cadman, we thank you! Here’s a snapshot I had taken one day last week the one on the right is me. Having good time . wish you were here. HAT Betty S. sends in a quaint idea crowd of young step- outs take turns in se- lecting a show, Night Club or some place to go if the party proves to be a wow the person who got up the bright idea moves up one rank and another partner for the next he or she can’t go with anybody else for that week sounds rather wet to me, Bet may be somebody will like it! i We've received several letters this week from High Hatters suggesting young ladies who they think should be voted into the JupGE family that’s all right, boys, they may be humdingers, but I don’t know ‘em and gosh, we can’t have any strangers in the family! Of course, there is a way to get around that! fe Have you been bathing this year? Of course you have! of course you've noticed the bathing suits ..... I've been color blind for Saw a funny thing . a beach umbrella with a hollow handle there is something new under the sun! he The peaches on the family tree, up to date, are Phylis Cleveland, Bobbie Perkins, Betty Starbuck, Helen Hayes, June Walker, Clai- born Foster. —f The Six Best “Steppers”: “Ting-aling” (The Cocoanuts). “Why Do You Want to Know” (The Cocoanuts). “Keys to Heaven” (Garrick Gai- cties). “Mountain Greenery” Gaieties). “The Girl Is You” (Scandals). “The Girl Friend” (The Girl Friend).
