THE KINDLY JUDGE AND LITTLE
EFFIE
A
KINDLY Judge (of the Chancery Division)
Found himself Confronted by a Difficult
Problem. Was Litde Effie (a Ward of Court)
to go to School, or Not ?
Counsel Representing Little Effie's Grandmother
Contended that Little Effie, by Reason of her Nervous
Temperament, was not Fitted for Contact with the
Rough Companions whom she would Doubtless En-
counter at the Proposed Educational Establishment.
The Advocate Voicing the Opinions of the Maiden
Aunt Took the Line that Little Effie was a Perfectly
Normal and Healthy Child who would Derive Im-
mense Benefit from the Discipline and Gaiety of
School Life.
The Kindly Judge Wisely Suggested that before
Reading the Affidavits he should Interview Little
Effie in his Private Room.
When Little Eflic Presented herself the Kindly
Judge (who was a Family Man) Found himself
Attracted by her Cropped Head and her large Blue
Eyes. To Put Little Effie Completely at her Ease the
Kindly Judge Invited her to Try on his Wig and to
Observe the Effect in his Looking-Glass. After a
Pleasant Little Chat the Kindly Judge Resumed his
Wig
and Returned to Court. Counsel Thereupon
Set to Work.
