This page presents two unrelated items: art print advertisements and a crossword puzzle. **The Prints:** "The Busybody" and "Be Yourself" are reproductions of paintings available for 50 cents each through Judge's Art Print Department. Both depict idealized female figures—one showing a woman in motion, the other capturing "mad, frolicking impishness" beneath a facade of demureness. These represent genteel decorative art typical of the era, marketed as suitable for home display. **The Crossword Puzzle:** This is a standard word puzzle with clues referencing 1920s-era culture and slang: "flapper" language, Prohibition ("beer runner"), jazz-age references, and contemporary figures like baseball player Ty Cobb. The puzzle functioned as entertainment for Judge's educated, middle-class readership. **Overall Context:** The page reflects Judge magazine's dual nature as both satirical publication and lifestyle magazine for affluent readers, combining art reproduction services with intellectual puzzles.
