# Explanation for Modern Readers This page contains a cartoon and humorous text pieces from *Judge* magazine. The top cartoon depicts an affluent interior with elegant furniture. A woman tells a man: "Outworn Her—Mary, I've had enough dirty cracks! One more lovejagged table, and I leave." The satire targets wealthy couples' domestic disputes over interior decoration and furnishings—a concern of the leisured class. Below, the text "In the Year 2000" presents a fictional scenario where Sir Albert Einstein explains complex physics theories to an uncomprehending listener. The humor mocks both Einstein's impenetrability and the fantasy of predicting far-future science. The accompanying illustrations of whimsical creatures reinforce the absurdist tone. Other brief comic snippets address Boston traffic and a police officer's engine trouble.
