# Explanation for Modern Readers This Judge magazine page contains two satirical pieces: **Top cartoon**: A flirtation joke where a woman ("Judy") dismisses a suitor's marriage proposal, claiming she won't commit while Charles Lindbergh—the famous aviator and celebrity of the 1920s—remains single. The satire targets both Lindbergh's celebrity status and women's romantic fickleness. **"How to Prevent Snoring"**: A humorous advice column where the author claims someone named "Larkspur" (likely a pseudonym) has hoaxed him with fake letters about snoring. He threatens retaliation and promises snoring remedies. The piece includes an anecdote credited to Chauncey Depew (a prominent 19th-century politician) about a teacher with a sick headache. **Bottom cartoon**: Satirizes summer motorists who strip countryside shrubs and plants for decoration, then take joy rides in winter—depicting destructive, entitled behavior. The overall tone reflects Judge's satirical approach to contemporary American social habits and celebrity culture of the era.
