# Page Analysis: Judge Magazine This page contains three satirical pieces: **"Note to a Gentleman"** (top): A poem mocking romantic disillusionment. A man intercepts his girlfriend with another suitor, discovering her infidelity after declaring eternal love. The satire targets male naiveté about female constancy, suggesting women "enroll" new lovers once passion fades. The final line—"you must see my lawyer first"—jokes that even romantic rejection requires legal intervention. **"A Duck Shooter"** (bottom left): Cartoon mocking a man's complaint about his girlfriend damaging his new car. The punchline—"she allowed for the duck"—suggests she deliberately aimed for the bird, showing careless disregard for his property. **Miscellaneous jokes** (right): Brief quips on bachelor frugality and automotive vanity reflect early 20th-century consumer culture humor. The overall theme satirizes courtship, gender relations, and modern materialism.

JUDGE Note to a Gentleman Yes, dear, I'll send you back your letters, All bound blue; I marvel that such silken fetters Can hold the love inscribed by you. about with ribbon Ah me, how days and weeks are flying, A year! It really seems much less Since you proclaimed your love undying, And swore eternal faithfulness. How can this strong and manly passion So suddenly have come to end? The flame, that burned in such fierce fashion, Be quenched since these hot notes were penned? But—I'll enroll you with love’s debtors, And after thirst— Yes, dear, I'll send back your letters, But you must see my lawyer first. new affections Feminine influence on the barber chair.
