What you’re looking at
This page contains two separate humorous pieces satirizing early 20th-century social etiquette and courtship customs. **Top cartoon**: Shows men dancing with women at what appears to be a formal social event. The caption advises men whose dance partners adjust their garters to remain "nonchalant" and smoke a Murad cigarette. The joke mocks the awkwardness of such intimate moments in polite society—the cigarette advertisement serves as absurdist "solution" to social embarrassment. **Bottom cartoon**: A comedic exchange between a lazy man lying on the ground and a woman standing nearby. When she asks if he'll do something useful instead of lying there, he offers to fetch her a towel—a deliberately unhelpful, absurd response. The "London Opinion" credit suggests this is reprinted from a British publication. Both pieces satirize male incompetence and indifference in social/romantic contexts, a common Judge magazine theme mocking masculine behavior and courtship rituals.

Here is a clever saying of our pig that illus- trates this. Several weeks ago I sent Perry, my to the jeweler’s to buy a clock. The jeweler showed Perry his stock and finally placed an e day clock on the counter. “Here is a clock that w avorite porker, run ht days without wind said the jeweler, offering Perry. snuff. “That is O. K. by me,” replied Perry snuffling, “but how long will it run if you do wind it?” When he got home Perry showed me how the jeweler’s bullet had been stopped by the Bible which he wore in his’ breast-pocket. 1 guess this will answer some of the atheists with their scotfing and | evolution theory.

After the cold cream has been well rubbed into the face, wipe it with a soft cloth and apply the astringent. Let this dry and then hang your face up in the laundry, together with whatever other portions of you seem inclined to stick to the e. And if, after several hours, you feel no different, send me your name and fifty cents and I will send you the address of the vermin exterminator nearest your home, so that you can give your- self up.
